Commented Issue: When saying no to whether to delete, deletes anyway

TheFlow — Sun, 12 Oct 2008 13:48:51 GMT

From the podcast list, selected delete played which gave the full-screen prompt asking whether I really want to delete the files (not the message box style prompt). I said NO and it deletes them any way. Note this is only with the full screen dialog.

PS I'm using version 3.0.0.0 now

Commented Issue: When saying no to whether to delete, deletes anyway

Update : it seems that when I delete podcasts they will offer the option to "download" instead of "download again" in the feed list even if I pressed "yes" to confirm I want to delete. Maybe it's a problem with the fullscreen version of the confirmation dialog ?

BeyondPod Public Release 3.0.0.0 is available for download from http://www.beyondpod.mobi/Download/BeyondPod_3_0_0.CAB?BeyondPodDownloadUpdate

What is new in this public release:

BeyondPod views now use a new "kinetic" (iPhone style) finger scrolling. (Keep in mind that the Feed Content view still does not support finger scrolling unless your device has TouchFlow)
Imporved the support for VGA devices and high resolution versions of the icons are now included by default in the install
When a podcast finishes playing, the associated feed item is automatically marked as "read"
You can now delete downloaded podcasts directly from the Feed Content view. This feature should make cleaning of the library much easier especially if you turned off the setting for automatic deletion of podcasts at the end of playback. (thanks to Bjorn for suggesting that)
Played podcasts have a slightly different icon to help distinguish them from un-played or partially played ones
In Feeds View, if the Feed Has podcasts pressing the "Right" arrow key now starts playing all podcasts , the same way as if you click on the green feed arrow. This makes it a bit easier for non touch screen devices to access this functionality (thanks to DeVeega for suggesting that)
BeyondPod will now automatically check and notify you when new Public or Beta builds are available.
Added an option to create categories directly from the "Select Category" screen
There is a new global shortcut to toggle between podcast and player view. The default key is "8" and It can be changed using "Change Button Mappings" link in the Player settings
On touch screen devices, BeyondPod will now automatically turn the screen of 10 seconds after you start the playback (only if using the Internal Player). There is a setting to control that feature in Tools > Settings > Player Settings
Added screen transitions between some of the views. There is a setting to turn them on/off in the General settings (Tools > Settings > General Settings)

I have the same problem, and I think this is linked to another problem I have : once deleted, podcasts offer the option to download or stream the mp3 file, not to "download again" and stream, so they're downloaded again on next full sync.

I'm using 2.9.0 on a HTC Touch P3450 WM6

BETA Release 2.9.0.7

New Post: I found a bug!

skyntchev — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 21:19:16 GMT

Florian,

Thank you very much for posting your TrackState.xml.
It helped me find and fix the issue. (It was a similar bug to one I had fixed a while ago but it manifested itself in a very unusual way)
Thanks again fro helping me with that!

Stefan

This is interesting. If you have a version of TrackState.xml that crashes the latest beta, can you please send it to support at beyond.mobi. I am very curious to find what is going on. I want to see what exactly is going on, because we had fixed a similar bug a while ago.

TheFlow — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 20:31:52 GMT

Um... I've uninstalled BP 2.8.0 and installed 2.9.0Beta. I am still having a crash righ after the "loading" screen (even a bit earlier than before since I don't even see the menus on the bottom).

I have updated the log file on http://www.theflow.ch/pictures/beyondpod/BeyondPodLog.txt

I will try the second method you gave and keep you updated.

Edit:

I have edited my TrackState.xml file like you told me and deleted the faulty feed, and now the program is working fine ^.^

For reference, here's a copy of my TrackState.xml file before I edit it: http://www.theflow.ch/pictures/beyondpod/TrackState_old.xml

The feed I deleted is the one with ID=1cd7e939-e8f8-43fe-a6e3-28d71cfc2e14 (le microsillon du jour). As you can see I had set a very high value to maxtracks. I didn't download anything b4 the crash but maybe it could have caused a problem ?

Anyway, many thanks again for your quick and efficient help! If this program is as useful as I expect it to be to me, I'll definitely donate something.

Best regards,
Florian

You should be able to scroll the items on this screen by just dragging them up/down (finger scroll), alternatively you can just clear the volume up/down shortcuts in Tools > Settings > Player Settings and clicking on the "Change Button Mappings."

I can't remember in what version, but we changed the way the "screen off" works so the screen does not turn off if you switched to a different screen after you started playing. You can get the latest BETA 2.9.0.7 - it has several other bug fixes and improvements. If you still find that the screen turns off when you don't need it, let me know. We can add an option to disable it.
The latest beta is available from http:www.beyondpod.mobi/Beta

In the meanwhile, best thanks for your quick help!

Hi Florian,

Can you try to install the latest beta version (you can download it from http://www.beyondpod.mobi/Beta) It should have a fix for the problem you are having. The problem is that one of your feeds has an invalid URL and that URL confuses BeyondPod. That was fixed in the BETA version some time ago.

I think that the Beta version should be able to load without a problem and then you can edit the problematic feed. If the beta version still does not work, all the feeds are stored in the TrackState.xml file so you can potentially open that file in notepad on your computer and delete the record with the incorrect feed, or you can just delete the entire TrackState.xml file and BeyondPod will create a new one next time it starts (but you will lose your feed subscriptions). If you want to completely reinstall BeyondPod, just uninstall it and then delete all the files from the installation directory.

Hello,

I just downloaded and installed BeyondPod yesterday. Everything worked fine and I was trying to add a Podcast when the program crashed with an error message. Now, everytime I launch Beyondpod it crashes with the same message after displaying the loading screen.

Here's a link to a screenshot of the message: http://www.theflow.ch/pictures/BeyondPod_error.jpg

And another one to my BeyondPodLog.txt file: http://www.theflow.ch/pictures/BeyondPodLog.txt

As you can see from the logfile I was trying to add some feed from rsr.ch (http://www.rsr.ch/podcast.aspx?rss=c3-microsillon) when this happened. I had entered a wrong adress and it didn't work. When I corrected it to what I believe was the correct url, it crashed.

I have tried to uninstall and reinstall ; to reboot PPC ; to close all other running apps before launching BP ; to no avail.

Specs:

HTC Touch P3450 Elf
15.687 Mb free RAM, 45.41 free on card.
Windows mobile 6 (original ROM)
MS .NET CF v.3.5
BeyondPod v.2.8.0

I do hope someone can help me with this issue as this program seems very fine and I look very much forward to seeing the RSS functions added to my PPC!

Thanks in advance for your time and help!

~Florian

New Post: Beyondpod 2.9 beta

gotwebs — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 19:14:17 GMT

I've been testing beta 2.9.0.3 on a Sprint HTC mogul pocket PC phone (Windows Mobile 6.1).

When I am in the podcast screen, there is no way to move up and down if the podcasts take up more than the entire screen (the arrows control volume and there is no scroll bar). Also, the auto-screen blank needs to be a toggle (on/off) and have a timeout value option. Having the option to leave the screen on if there is external power would be a plus. My screen often goes blank when I'm still working with podcasts.

i love beyond pod!! its just awesome!!

The only thing that would make it close to perfect would be better video playback. If somehow the open code from TCMP could be used to play video in the integrated video player. Maybe I dont know how to do it, but the resume from stopped feautre does not work with external players. That is the only thing keeping from being perfect for playing back long video podcasts.

I love you guys/gals!! =)
