SUMMARY Right now the filename is a number or hash, it would be very useful if the filename could be the actual name of the podcast and the episode number, like: podcastshow-ep104.mp3 This way the files can be used inside other programs and can be opened manually etc.
Thanks for reporting. I will see what can be done there. The huge advantage of the current hash-based filenames is that there are no worries whatsoever about invalid characters in filenames. If the podcast and/or episode titles are used, then you can get into nasty territory concerning i18n and underlying filesystems not supporting certain characters.

I just had a "crazy" idea: What about creating symbolic links? We could have a seperate folder (e.g. called "podcasts-named") and the program would create symbolic links with the filename "structure" I suggested (podcastshow-ep104.mp3) and link to the hashed ones. This way the program could still use the hashes and work properly in any situation.

Use Entry title to set downloaded file name Instead of using the MD5 hash of the enclosure download URL, we create a filename which follows `feedname/entry_title.hash.ext`, where feedname is a uniquefied feed title (stored in the DB), a truncated version of the entry title, a shortened hash based on the download URL, and the original file extension extracted from the download URL.

Also thank you for this fix. I got only one addional request for this: Maybe you could add an episode number and or date to the episode name.
