newsbeuter options

hello.. anyone know if its possible to run a command after newsbeuter/podbeuter has finished downloading something.

ive got rtorrent to send me an sms message when a download is complete. id like the same for podcasts.

oh and is there is a way to define a different download dir for different feeds?

like Feed 1 downloads to ~/Video and Feed 2 downloads to ~/Audio

thanks guys

Re: newsbeuter options

playing around with news/podbeuter a little more today..

im trying to use this as a podcast client more than anything. ive got newsbeuter to automatically add the file to the queue but podbeuter doesnt automatically download it. it seems like i have to start podbeuter manually to begin a download.

here is my config. if anyone can point me in the right direction id appreciate it.

auto-reload yes
podcast-auto-enqueue yes
refresh-on-startup yes
reload-time 30
download-path /home/thelastknowngod/Video/

unbind-key j
unbind-key k
bind-key k up
bind-key j down

Re: newsbeuter options

sorry you haven't gotten any responses yet

so you've got three questions
1) notifier when download is complete
2) downloading specific podcasts to specific directories
3) workaround manual start of podbeuter

I was actually searching for some help configuring newsbeuter as well, so I can't offer much support, but I can answer your second question. You can configure specify the podcast name as a directory with the "download-path" command.

Optionally, the placeholders "%n" (for the podcast feed's name) and "%h" (for the podcast feed's hostname) can be used to place downloads in a directory structure.

I got that from here http://newsbeuter.org/doc/newsbeuter.ht … st_support

Mine looks like:

download-path    "~/.newsbeuter/podcasts/%h"

Unfortunately, this does allow you to distinguish between video and audio podcasts.
