<h2>rubypodder</h2>
<h4>Overview</h4>
Rubypodder is a simple podcast aggregator inspired by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BashPodder">bashpodder</a>.
You configure it with all the podcasts (radio programmes, audio blogs,
etc.) that you regularly listen to. Then you run rubypodder as a cron
job and each morning before setting off, copy anything new onto your
mp3 player.<br>
<h4>Download and Installation</h4>
ruby and rubygems must be installed on your computer. On
Mandriva, this would be:<br>
<pre># urpmi ruby rubygems rdoc</pre>
On Ubuntu it would be:<br>
<pre>$ sudo apt-get install ruby rubygems rdoc</pre>
Download and install rubypodder:<br>
<pre># gem install --include-dependencies rubypodder</pre>
<h4>Running rubypodder</h4>
Make sure that Ruby gems are in your $PATH. You can do this by adding the following line to your ~/.bashrc file:<br>
<pre>export PATH=$PATH:/var/lib/gems/1.8/bin</pre>
Run rubypodder from the command line like this:<br>
<pre>$ rubypodder</pre>
Rubypodder comes with a default configuration file containing an
example podcast (the BBC comedy programme "The Now Show"). If there
were any episodes of this available you should see them in the
directory:<br>
<pre>~/.rubypodder/2007-08-09/</pre>
or whatever the date is when you run it. If there are no recent
episodes, you won't see the date directory but you should see:<br>
<pre>~/.rubypodder/rp.conf<br>~/.rubypodder/rp.log<br>~/.rubypodder/rp.done<br></pre>
<h4>Configuring rubypodder</h4>
You can edit rp.conf to put in the podcast feeds to which you wish to
subscribe. My configuration file looks like this:<br>
<pre>$ cat ~/.rubypodder/rp.conf<br>http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/rmhttp/downloadtrial/radio1/radio1smusicinterviews/rss.xml<br>http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/rmhttp/downloadtrial/radio4/inourtime/rss.xml<br>http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/rmhttp/downloadtrial/worldservice/documentaryarchive/rss.xml<br>http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/rmhttp/downloadtrial/sixmusic/talking6music/rss.xml<br>http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/rmhttp/downloadtrial/radio4/thenowshow/rss.xml<br>http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/rmhttp/downloadtrial/radio4/broadcastinghouse/rss.xml<br>http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/rmhttp/downloadtrial/radio4/radio4choice/rss.xml<br>http://feeds.feedburner.com/rubyonrailspodcast<br>http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/rmhttp/downloadtrial/radio1/radio1sentertainmentnews/rss.xml<br>http://www.guardian.co.uk/podcasts/comedy/rickygervais/mp3.xml<br>http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/podcast/channel-dwall.rss<br>$<br></pre>
You can set up rubypodder to run as a cron job. I set it up to run at
5am each morning. On my computer to do this you edit your crontab with:<br>
<pre>crontab -e</pre>
and add the line<br>
<pre>0 5 * * * rubypodder</pre>
