Schedule specific time

New postby hoyeboye on Wed Jan 28, 2009 11:40 am

I saw another posting about this, but my reason for requesting is different than Snooz's.

Podcasts released daily and twice a day (semi-daily?) come out at specific times. I would like to schedule the podcast's download shortly after the release time so it's ready for me to listen to on the train ride home. If I set the update frequency too high in hopes of snagging the podcast when it releases, it kills my battery. Wouldn't be a problem if I could charge frequently, but that is not an option.

Great app. I may get flamed for saying this, but your price hike is completely justified-I expected this app to be at least $20. Keep up the good work.

Hi there,

Yeah, I see the problem there, and I'm working on a fix for it, I'm just trying to make it general purpose enough to work for all of the time frames. Regardless, I'll have something in place soon to address it.

Thanks for the feedback!

Hi again,

I just pre-released 1.6.12, wanna check it out and let me know if that solves this for you?

Great job. Can this be done for the weekly as well (set day of week and time?) and for the two times daily? I'm no coder, so I don't know how complicated this request is.

I also noticed the player goes into full screen video mode when playing audio podcasts. Keep up the great work.

I would also like to see this implemented for weekly also.

For weekly shows, I would like to be able to have the update take place just after when new episodes are usually made available, since I don't see a way to specify which day of the week the weekly update should take place I must specify daily for now.

Thanks and keep up the great work!

Yeah, eventually there will be specifications for each timeframe, I'll make sure I prioritize the weekly one, though.
