Description Mathias Panzenböck 2009-06-04 14:24:10 UTC

Version:           2.1-SVN (using 4.2.3 (KDE 4.2.3), 4.2.3-3.fc10 Fedora)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.27.24-170.2.68.fc10.x86_64

It should be possible to change a podcast feed url because it happens that these urls change. I consider this as a bug, not a feature request. It would be pretty easy to implement this feature. Not having this feature leads to an error when the feed url changes (404 or error parsing feed).

Back in amarok 1.4 this was not THAT of an problem, because I simply opened the database using sliteman and changed the feed url in the database. Using mysqle you cannot simply access the database witch such an interface any more.

The feed changing should/will be handled automatically assuming a 301 "Moved Permanently" is send.
I could of course add the option to change that url manually but I'm very hesitant to do that. Mainly because manual feed changing is potentially very destructive but almost never needed because of the 301 handling.

You can still access the database using the script API though. Combined with a ui file you can actually make a pretty dialog to change the if you want.

Just implemented this in v2.2.1-255-g98495cb.
