How to import Rhythmbox podcasts into Banshee?

  • With Natty, the default music-player changed from Rhythmbox to Banshee. While my music seems to have moved along, the podcasts didn't. I have therefore two questions : How can I listen the podcasts I downloaded with Rhythmbox from Banshee ? How can I ask Banshee to automatically download the podcasts Rhythmbox was downloading for me? Edited to add a clarification : I'm interested in a way to subscribe to all the podcasts I was subscribed to in Rhythmbox. I'm asking this question because I'd prefer not to subscribe to the podcasts one by one.

  • Answer:

    This is more a workaround then an answer. You can get a list of podcast that you are subscribed in Rhythmbox with: apt-get install xgrep xgrep -x '/rhythmdb/entry[@type="podcast-feed"]/location/text()' ~/.local/share/rhythmbox/rhythmdb.xml | grep ^http | sort You can get a list of podcasts you are subscribed to in Banshee with: apt-get install sqlite3 echo "select Url from PodcastSyndications;" | sqlite3 -batch ~/.config/banshee-1/banshee.db | sort This doesn't help you import them, as Banshee seems to have no way to add multiple Podcasts in one go, but at least it helps making sure that all Podcasts made it over when you manually added them. One could probably write some SQL to insert the podcast list into Banshees config files, but I didn't try that.
