Podfetch is written in Python.
From the README:
podfetch
Fetch audio or video podcasts and store files locally.
Features
Manage subscriptions through the command line or by editing configuration files.
Download all podcasts with a single command, e.g. as a cron-job.
Hooks to execute additional commands after downloading new episodes.
Usage
To add a subscription:
$ podfetch add http://example.com/rss
To update subscriptions:
$ podfetch update
To list recently downloaded episodes:
$ podfetch ls
Use podfetch --help for more.
Configuration
The central configuration files are
* /etc/podfetch.conf for system-wide settings
* ~/.config/podfetch/podfetch.conf for user based settings
Configuration options are:
[podfetch] # where to store downloaded episodes content_dir = ~/Documents/Podcasts # filenames for downloaded episodes filename_template = {pub_date}-{title} # number of threads for parallel downloads update_threads = 8 # ignore these files in the subscriptions directory ignore = .*
Subscriptions
Subscriptions are kept as ini-files under ~/.config/podfetch/subscriptions
with one file per feed.
The files look like this (url is the only mandatory setting):
[subscription] url = http://www.example.com/podcast # maximum number of episodes to keep max_episodes = 30 # display title title = My Podcast # override application wide template for this subscription filename_template = {title} # override application config for this subscription content_dir = /path/to/episodes # set this to False to stop fetching updates for this subscription enabled = True
Interesting Directories
~/.config/podfetch-
Contains the user-specific config file and the
subscriptions/subdirectory with settings for individual podcasts. Can also contain hooks. ~/.local/share/podfetch-
The default location for downloaded episodes and index files where episode details are stored.
~/.cache/podfetch-
Recent values from etag and last-modified HTTP headers for each subscription.
