Ubuntu
rhythmbox package

Podcasts will not download

Asked by ronerx

Once I subscribe to a feed the shows appear in rhythmbox but the status stays at "Waiting". I even get the album art if I try to play the podcasts. When I do try to play a podcast I get "Couldn't start playback - Problem occurred without error being set. This is a bug in Rhythmbox or GStreamer."

Podcasts don't download even after waiting all night.

When I look in Synaptic Package Manager I have several gstreamer packages installed but not all of them.

Any Ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!!!
RonE.

I don't see one. At least not one that is named as such.

I found that if I set my download path to my home directory, instead of a /podcast directory under my home directory, the podcasts would download. Now I'm off to d/l an .mp3 codec...
