Note: Currently this release is insecure due to Paramiko & requests modules. Use at your own risk.Will update as t ime allows
A command line podcast manager for posix systems coded in Python3 and sql for data management. The program manages subscriptions, downloads episodes, and maintains a database of all tracks. Will also transfer these to your android phone via SSH and, in the future, bluetooth.
Download the project to your chosen directory and unzip the archive. From there you will need to open a terminal (usually ctrl+alt+t on linux based systems) and install the requirements.
Things you will need to run this program:
Note: If you use a non-debian based system (e.g. fedora, redhat, etc.) please substitute the required super user notation and program commands.
- Python 3.5+
If you don't know if you have it open a terminal (CTRL+ALT+T) and type python3 --version Most posix systems run some version of python. MacOSx has Python 2.7 installed by default though 3.5+ is still necessary. Depending on your linux distribution 3.5 might already exist.
cpiccirilli1@netbook:~⟫ python3 --version
Python 3.5.2
To get python3 on linux enter the following:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python3.5
- pip or your choice of Python package manager.
To see if you have pip (as that is my preferred manager).
cpiccirilli1@netbook:~⟫ pip3 --version
pip 8.1.1 from /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages (python 3.5)
To install this on your linux system enter the following:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python-pip
- An internet connection.
Be mindful if you are trying to populate your database or download files without a stable connection. This will throw errors. Error handling is a work in progress.
After you have python3 and pip installed on your system:
- Install 3rd party dependencies:
- paramiko
- requests
- feedparser
sudo pip install -r requirements.txt
- Move to the directory where it is installed and run without flags.
This will add an alias to your .bash_aliases (Linux) or .bash_profile (MacOSx) and set up the database.
python3 podcatch.py
- Source your .bash_aliases file or .bash_profile file
cpiccirilli1@netbook:~⟫ source .bash_aliases
- After, begin by feeding your favorite podcast rss feed. URLs and strings must be in "quotations"
Familiarize yourself with the argument flags. Sample below.
cpiccirilli1@netbook:~⟫ pod -h
usage: podcatch.py [-h] [-f FEED] [--name NAME] [-r] [--update] [--view] [-v]
[--recent] [--load] [--series] [--delete] [--current]
[--remove] [--sshsend] [--host HOST] [--port PORT]
[--user USER] [--pkey PKEY] [-k KEY] [--sshrem REM]
[--version]
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-f FEED Adds a new feed to the subscription list. Must be used with
--name. -v is optional use.
--name NAME Identifies feed subscription by name you gave when
subscribing. Names must be in quotation marks.
-r Removes a feed from the subscription list. Must be in
quotation marks.
--update Checks for new updates. Can be used with -v
--view Displays current subscriptions.
-v Displays more information about what the database is doing.
--recent Gets the most recent episode.
--name.
cont.
- Running commands after set up is a breeze:
cpiccirilli1@netbook:~⟫ pod --recent
Updating Database... This may take a moment.

To verify that your system is working run:
cpiccirilli1@netbook:~⟫ pod --version
version: 0.9.1
If you are not on a posix system you will receive an error message.
