<hr />
<div>==Overview==<br />
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podcast Podcasts] are Audio/Video files that are published periodically and can be subscribed to. MediaMonkey 3.x allows you to easily subscribe to Audio Podcasts, using any of the methods described below.. <br />
<br />
# Expand the Podcast node and Browse or search one of the Directories for a Podcast of interest. Double-click on the Podcast to subscribe.<br />
# If you've found a Podcast on the web, do one of the following:<br />
## Copy the feed's URL, right-click on the Podcast node and click 'Subscribe to new Podcast'. Paste the Podcast URL into the subscription dialog.<br />
## Open the associated .pcast file with your browser, which will cause MediaMonkey subscribe dialog to open up.<br />
## Open the feed's URL (in Firefox only), and when prompted, choose MediaMonkey to open the file. This will cause the subscription dialog to open up.<br />
# Choose subscription rules for the Podcast (or for all Podcasts) to define how episodes should be downloaded, and when they should be removed.<br />
<br />
The Podcast episodes will begin to download, turning from grey to black once they're downloaded. MediaMonkey will periodically check for updates and automatically download new episodes (you can also manually trigger an update of all subscribed podcasts by right-clicking on the Podcast node).<br />
<br />
To play the podcast, you can double-click the relevant Tracks in either the Podcast node, or in the Library.<br />
<br />
See the [[Podcast FAQ]] for answers to some frequently asked questions.<br />
<br />
This article is current as of MediaMonkey 3.0.3.1164(**Update in process for 3.1**).<br />
<br />
==Getting Started==<br />
<br />
Using podcast support in MediaMonkey requires thinking about:<br />
<br />
# Where to store podcast episodes<br />
# How frequently to update podcasts and download new episodes<br />
# When to automatically delete downloaded episodes<br />
# Importing existing podcast subscriptions or episodes if moving from another Podcatch client such as iTunes or Juice<br />
<br />
These [[Podcast Options]] should be reviewed before subscribing to a podcast in MediaMonkey. The defaults set in [[Podcast Options]] can be over-ridden in the "Add Subscription" and "Edit Subscription" dialogs for individual podcast subscriptions.<br />
<br />
See [http://www.mediamonkey.com/support/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=108&nav=0 How to migrate Podcasts into MediaMonkey] if you are migrating.<br />
<br />
==Database==<br />
The [[MediaMonkey Database tables]] contain 3 tables which are specific to Podcasts. Other tables, in particular Songs, are used to handle data common to podcast tracks and any other audio track.<br />
<br />
[[Podcasts table]]<br />
<br>[[PodcastDirs table]]<br />
<br>[[PodcastEpisodes table]]<br />
<br />
The information contained in the [[Podcast Episode Tags]], in particular the Genre, Album, and Title tags, should also be considered part of the database schema.<br />
<br />
Sample values are based on the [[Podcast Sample Feed]]<br />
<br />
==Podcast Directories==<br />
MediaMonkey supports browsing [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OPML OPML] directories. These directories may be located remotely or locally. The directories are cached when first read, and may need to be periodically refreshed. A new directory can be added by Edit -> Podcasts -> Add directory(OPML).<br />
<br />
New in 3.1, you can also export Subscriptions to OPML using Tools->Scripts->Export All Podcasts...</div>Owynhttps://www.mediamonkey.com/wiki/index.php?title=Podcast_FAQ&diff=4649Podcast FAQ2008-12-17T13:58:03Z<p>Owyn: Fixed last edit</p>

<hr />
<div>==Introduction==<br />
Can MediaMonkey 3 run on Linux via Wine?<br />
<br />
This is a place where working notes about the attempt can be collected.<br />
<br />
Inspired by botijo's original work via the [http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=145870#145870 forums].<br />
<br />
==Test Environment==<br />
[http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download Ubuntu Linux 8.04]<br />
<br>[http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=15384&start=0&postorder=des MediaMonkey3 latest beta] v3.0.3.1164 for initial tests, debug version.<br />
<br>[http://www.winehq.org/ WINE] version 0.9.60.<br />
<br />
==Adding Wine to Ubuntu==<br />
Please follow instructions at http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb . Version tested here is 0.9.60.<br />
<br />
==Adding MediaMonkey + Wine==<br />
After installing Wine, MediaMonkey can be installed without any problems. If you run MM now, you will have lots of trouble.<br />
<br />
MediaMonkey needs some libraries to run. Please use [http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks winetricks] to install following items:<br />
*''gecko'' as an Internet Explorer alternative<br />
*''vb6run'' provides the OLE libraries<br />
*''vcrun6'' provides the MFC42 libraries<br />
*''wsh56'' provides support for VBScript, needed for scripts. ''vcrun6'' and ''vbrun6'' have to be installed before ''wsh56'' or installation will fail.<br />
<br />
A Linux package is also needed. It is called ''winbind''. The synaptyc package manager should have this package. It provides ''ntlm_auth'' that is needed for OLE, I believe.<br />
<br />
In order to reproduce MP3, the [http://www.mars.org/home/rob/proj/mpeg/mad-plugin/#install MAD plugin] is needed. You should delete the file '''i_wmp3.dll''' in the '''Plugins''' directory. The reason is that '''i_wmp3.dll''' requires Windows Media Player, plus the MP3 codecs for WMP. It is simpler to install the MAD plugin.<br />
<br />
In order to avoid "Player initialization errors", the files d_*.dll from the Plugins directory need to be deleted. No iPod integration for you! Other devices will also not be able to synchronize.<br />
<br />
Wine needs a little bit of configuration before running. Go to Applications/Wine/Configuration and follow these steps:<br />
* In the drive pane, select Autodetect. This should create a Wine Z: drive for the file system(/) and a CDROM drive.<br />
* In the audio pane, select whatever creates some sound to you. The current configured audio driver should be autodetected. Select Test to confirm.<br />
<br />
==Function Tests==<br />
<br />
Botijo verified this to work with the settings set in this wiki.<br />
<br />
Following items work:<br />
* Tag support<br />
* Database operations<br />
* File operations<br />
* Music output (my ears are itching for more music!)<br />
* Plugins (Milkdrop shows! See screenshot section. Speed is good with MilkDrop)<br />
* System tray icon<br />
* Now playing window shows correctly<br />
* Playlist management, including saving<br />
* Auto DJ queues songs<br />
* External browser is opened correctly for "Get Info/Buy"<br />
* Autoplaylists (only basic tested)<br />
* Send to Virtual CD<br />
* Gold registration<br />
* Find from the same artist<br />
<br />
Following items work with some problems:<br />
* Skins (Graphical glitches while changing skins, press Enter after doing so)<br />
* Scripts (some do, but auto scripts are not loaded after restart?)<br />
* Installation packages .mmip (Show errors, but install correctly, check notes)<br />
* Reports (Statistics fail due to some obscure SDBUI error, maybe opens a webpage; file based reports work)<br />
<br />
Following items do not work:<br />
* Device synchronization, as I have deleted all synchronization plugins<br />
* Opening webpages inside MM (gecko interface does not show anything, does MM rely so much on IE?). This includes Auto tag from Web, and maybe Statistics report.<br />
* Because of previous point, any URL related operation fails (e.g. opening an external URL, opening Podcast directory node). MM opens a dialog and shows a WININET error.<br />
* CD Rom burning: If CD/DVD is not mounted, it does not show in MM. Blank CD/DVD cannot be mounted, so burning cannot be done. Strangely enough, the burner form shows correct data with a data DVD (see screenshots).<br />
* Autoplaylists do not show on click, but they show if you browse node by node with the keyboard<br />
* Party mode is unusable and locks<br />
* Send to Email shows Thunderbird, songs are not attached<br />
<br />
Following items have not been tested:<br />
* To be determined<br />
<br />
Apart from all this, please be aware that some skins modifications (mainly resizing of windows) are painful slow.<br />

<br />
==Installation Summary==<br />
All the installation steps via Console (Application/Accesories/Terminal) commands.<br />
Current as of date of writing (2008-05-03) and Ubuntu 8.04 test environment.<br />
Commands can be copied and pasted to a Console.<br />
Do NOT try to run this as an omnibus script. Problems can occur at each step which need to be addressed before continuing.<br />

==Misc notes and links==<br />
Debug version of MM works and can report errors to developers (I hope they see my email).<br />
<br />
A way to know what MM is doing is catching all the KERNEL32 debug outputs. Of course you need the debug version of MM to do this. The usual Windows tool DebugView does not work. A crude way to do the same thing under WINE is (beware of big files!):<br />
<source lang="text">WINEDEBUG=relay wine ./MediaMonkey.exe &> /tmp/MM.log <br />
grep Debug /tmp/MM.log > MM.log</source><br />
<br />
If you resort to debugging why some feature does not work, please have a look at WINE documentation. It helps a lot.<br />
<br />

Can MediaMonkey 3 run on Linux via Wine?<br />
<br />
This is a place where working notes about the attempt can be collected.<br />
<br />
Inspired by botijo's original work via the [http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=145870#145870 forums].<br />
<br />
==Test Environment==<br />
[http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download Ubuntu Linux 8.04]<br />
<br>[http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=15384&start=0&postorder=des MediaMonkey3 lastest beta] v3.0.3.1164 for initial tests, debug version.<br />
<br>[http://www.winehq.org/ WINE] version 0.9.60.<br />
<br />
==Adding Wine to Ubuntu==<br />
Please follow instructions at http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb . Version tested here is 0.9.60.<br />
<br />
==Adding MediaMonkey + Wine==<br />
After installing Wine, MediaMonkey can be installed without any problems. If you run MM now, you will have lots of trouble.<br />
<br />
MediaMonkey needs some libraries to run. Please use [http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks winetricks] to install following items:<br />
*''gecko'' as an Internet Explorer alternative<br />
*''vb6run'' provides the OLE libraries<br />
*''vcrun6'' provides the MFC42 libraries<br />
*''wsh56'' provides support for VBScript, needed for scripts. ''vcrun6'' and ''vbrun6'' have to be installed before ''wsh56'' or installation will fail.<br />
<br />
A Linux package is also needed. It is called ''winbind''. The synaptyc package manager should have this package. It provides ''ntlm_auth'' that is needed for OLE, I believe.<br />
<br />
In order to reproduce MP3, the [http://www.mars.org/home/rob/proj/mpeg/mad-plugin/#install MAD plugin] is needed. You should delete the file '''i_wmp3.dll''' in the '''Plugins''' directory. The reason is that '''i_wmp3.dll''' requires Windows Media Player, plus the MP3 codecs for WMP. It is simpler to install the MAD plugin.<br />
<br />
In order to avoid "Player initialization errors", the files d_*.dll from the Plugins directory need to be deleted. No iPod integration for you! Other devices will also not be able to synchronize.<br />
<br />
Wine needs a little bit of configuration before running. Go to Applications/Wine/Configuration and follow these steps:<br />
* In the drive pane, select Autodetect. This should create a Wine Z: drive for the file system(/) and a CDROM drive.<br />
* In the audio pane, select whatever creates some sound to you. The current configured audio driver should be autodetected. Select Test to confirm.<br />
<br />
==Function Tests==<br />
<br />
Botijo verified this to work with the settings set in this wiki.<br />
<br />
Following items work:<br />
* Tag support<br />
* Database operations<br />
* File operations<br />
* Music output (my ears are itching for more music!)<br />
* Plugins (Milkdrop shows! See screenshot section. Speed is good with MilkDrop)<br />
* System tray icon<br />
* Now playing window shows correctly<br />
* Playlist management, including saving<br />
* Auto DJ queues songs<br />
* External browser is opened correctly for "Get Info/Buy"<br />
* Autoplaylists (only basic tested)<br />
* Send to Virtual CD<br />
* Gold registration<br />
* Find from the same artist<br />
<br />
Following items work with some problems:<br />
* Skins (Graphical glitches while changing skins, press Enter after doing so)<br />
* Scripts (some do, but auto scripts are not loaded after restart?)<br />
* Installation packages .mmip (Show errors, but install correctly, check notes)<br />
* Reports (Statistics fail due to some obscure SDBUI error, maybe opens a webpage; file based reports work)<br />
<br />
Following items do not work:<br />
* Device synchronization, as I have deleted all synchronization plugins<br />
* Opening webpages inside MM (gecko interface does not show anything, does MM rely so much on IE?). This includes Auto tag from Web, and maybe Statistics report.<br />
* Because of previous point, any URL related operation fails (e.g. opening an external URL, opening Podcast directory node). MM opens a dialog and shows a WININET error.<br />
* CD Rom burning: If CD/DVD is not mounted, it does not show in MM. Blank CD/DVD cannot be mounted, so burning cannot be done. Strangely enough, the burner form shows correct data with a data DVD (see screenshots).<br />
* Autoplaylists do not show on click, but they show if you browse node by node with the keyboard<br />
* Party mode is unusable and locks<br />
* Send to Email shows Thunderbird, songs are not attached<br />
<br />
Following items have not been tested:<br />
* To be determined<br />
<br />
Apart from all this, please be aware that some skins modifications (mainly resizing of windows) are painful slow.<br />

==Misc notes and links==<br />
Debug version of MM works and can report errors to developers (I hope they see my email).<br />
<br />
A way to know what MM is doing is catching all the KERNEL32 debug outputs. Of course you need the debug version of MM to do this. The usual Windows tool DebugView does not work. A crude way to do the same thing under WINE is (beware of big files!):<br />
<source lang="text">WINEDEBUG=relay wine ./MediaMonkey.exe &> /tmp/MM.log <br />
grep Debug /tmp/MM.log > MM.log</source><br />
<br />
If you resort to debugging why some feature does not work, please have a look at WINE documentation. It helps a lot.<br />
<br />
There are lots of graphical glitches that hinder your progress. Also, whenever a serious error is found (most of the time due to missing DLLs), MM will hang. The only way to continue is to kill the process. This is done with<source lang="text">killall MediaMonkey.exe</source><br />
<br />
Installation packages install correctly, but Xubuntu file manager (dunno if it happens with vanilla Ubuntu one) does not register the filetype with MM. Even in the case that the filetype .mmip is being registered correctly, WINE might not be able to translate UNIX paths (e.g. /usr/bin/) into Windows own format (unrelated example: C:\Program Files). At least that is something I read, although I do not remember where. What it means is that the argument passed to MM will be rubish, so MM will ignore it. As a workaround, you can copy your .mmip into MM install directory and run ''MediaMonkey.exe &lt;myscript.mmip&gt;'' from MM installation directory. This way no paths are being walked (pun intended).<br />

Debug version of MM works and can report errors to developers (I hope they see my email).<br />
<br />
A way to know what MM is doing is catching all the KERNEL32 debug outputs. Of course you need the debug version of MM to do this. The usual Windows tool DebugView does not work. A crude way to do the same thing under WINE is (beware of big files!):<br />
<source lang="text">WINEDEBUG=relay wine ./MediaMonkey.exe &> /tmp/MM.log <br />
grep Debug /tmp/MM.log > MM.log</source><br />
<br />
If you resort to debugging why some feature does not work, please have a look at WINE documentation. It helps a lot.<br />
<br />
There are lots of graphical glitches that hinder your progress. Also, whenever a serious error is found (most of the time due to missing DLLs), MM will hang. The only way to continue is to kill the process. This is done with<source lang="text">killall MediaMonkey.exe</source><br />
<br />
Installation packages install correctly, but Xubuntu file manager (dunno if it happens with vanilla Ubuntu one) does not register the filetype with MM. Even in the case that the filetype .mmip is being registered correctly, WINE might not be able to translate UNIX paths (e.g. /usr/bin/) into Windows own format (unrelated example: C:\Program Files). At least that is something I read, although I do not remember where. What it means is that the argument passed to MM will be rubish, so MM will ignore it. As a workaround, you can copy your .mmip into MM install directory and run ''MediaMonkey.exe &lt;myscript.mmip&gt;'' from MM installation directory.

<div>==Introduction==<br />
Can MediaMonkey 3 run on Linux via Wine?<br />
<br />
This is a place where working notes about the attempt can be collected.<br />
<br />
Inspired by botijo's original work via the [http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=145870#145870 forums].<br />
<br />
==Test Environment==<br />
[http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download Ubuntu Linux 8.04]<br />
<br>[http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=15384&start=0&postorder=des MediaMonkey3 lastest beta] v3.0.3.1164 for initial tests, debug version.<br />
<br>[http://www.winehq.org/ WINE] version 0.9.60.<br />
<br />
==Adding Wine to Ubuntu==<br />
Please follow instructions at http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb . Version tested here is 0.9.60.<br />
<br />
==Adding MediaMonkey + Wine==<br />
After installing Wine, MediaMonkey can be installed without any problems. If you run MM now, you will have lots of trouble.<br />
<br />
MediaMonkey needs some libraries to run. Please use [http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks winetricks] to install following items:<br />
*''gecko'' as an Internet Explorer alternative<br />
*''vb6run'' provides the OLE libraries<br />
*''vcrun6'' provides the MFC42 libraries<br />
*''wsh56'' provides support for VBScript, needed for scripts. ''vcrun6'' and ''vbrun6'' have to be installed before ''wsh56'' or installation will fail.<br />
<br />
A Linux package is also needed. It is called ''winbind''. The synaptyc package manager should have this package. It provides ''ntlm_auth'' that is needed for OLE, I believe.<br />
<br />
In order to reproduce MP3, the [http://www.mars.org/home/rob/proj/mpeg/mad-plugin/#install MAD plugin] is needed. You should delete the file '''i_wmp3.dll''' in the '''Plugins''' directory. The reason is that '''i_wmp3.dll''' requires Windows Media Player, plus the MP3 codecs for WMP. It is simpler to install the MAD plugin.<br />
<br />
In order to avoid "Player initialization errors", the files d_*.dll from the Plugins directory need to be deleted. No iPod integration for you! Other devices will also not be able to synchronize.<br />
<br />
Wine needs a little bit of configuration before running. Go to Applications/Wine/Configuration and follow these steps:<br />
* In the drive pane, select Autodetect. This should create a Wine Z: drive for the file system(/).<br />
* In the audio pane, select whatever creates some sound to you. The current configured audio driver should be autodetected. Select Test to confirm.<br />
<br />
==Function Tests==<br />
<br />
Botijo verified this to work with the settings set in this wiki.<br />
<br />
Following items work:<br />
* Tag support<br />
* Database operations<br />
* File operations<br />
* Music output (my ears are itching for more music!)<br />
* Plugins (Milkdrop shows! See screenshot section. Speed is good with MilkDrop)<br />
* System tray icon<br />
* Now playing window shows correctly<br />
* Playlist management, including saving<br />
* Auto DJ queues songs<br />
* External browser is opened correctly for "Get Info/Buy"<br />
* Autoplaylists (only basic tested)<br />
* Send to Virtual CD<br />
* Gold registration<br />
* Find from the same artist<br />
<br />
Following items work with some problems:<br />
* Skins (Graphical glitches while changing skins, press Enter after doing so)<br />
* Scripts (some do, but auto scripts are not loaded after restart?)<br />
* Installation packages .mmip (Show errors, but install correctly, check notes)<br />
* Reports (Statistics fail due to some obscure SDBUI error, maybe opens a webpage; file based reports work)<br />
<br />
Following items do not work:<br />
* Device synchronization, as I have deleted all synchronization plugins<br />
* Opening webpages inside MM (gecko interface does not show anything, does MM rely so much on IE?). This includes Auto tag from Web, and maybe Statistics report.<br />
* Because of previous point, any URL related operation fails (e.g. opening an external URL, opening Podcast directory node). MM opens a dialog and shows a WININET error.<br />
* CD Rom burning: If CD/DVD is not mounted, it does not show in MM. Blank CD/DVD cannot be mounted, so burning cannot be done. Strangely enough, the burner form shows correct data with a data DVD (see screenshots).<br />
* Autoplaylists do not show on click, but they show if you browse node by node with the keyboard<br />
* Party mode is unusable and locks<br />
* Send to Email shows Thunderbird, songs are not attached<br />
<br />
Following items have not been tested:<br />
* To be determined<br />
<br />
Apart from all this, please be aware that some skins modifications (mainly resizing of windows) are painful slow.<br />

Can MediaMonkey 3 run on Linux via Wine?<br />

<br>[http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=15384&start=0&postorder=des MediaMonkey3 lastest beta] v3.0.3.1164 for initial tests, debug version.<br />
<br>[http://www.winehq.org/ WINE] version 0.9.60.<br />
<br />
==Adding Wine to Ubuntu==<br />
Please follow instructions at http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb . Version tested here is 0.9.60.<br />
<br />
==Adding MediaMonkey + Wine==<br />
After installing Wine, MediaMonkey can be installed without any problems. If you run MM now, you will have lots of trouble.<br />
<br />
MediaMonkey needs some libraries to run. Please use [http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks winetricks] to install following items:<br />
*''gecko'' as an Internet Explorer alternative<br />
*''vb6run'' provides the OLE libraries<br />
*''vcrun6'' provides the MFC42 libraries<br />
*''wsh56'' provides support for VBScript, needed for scripts. ''vcrun6'' and ''vbrun6'' have to be installed before ''wsh56'' or installation will fail.<br />
<br />
A Linux package is also needed. It is called ''winbind''. The synaptyc package manager should have this package. It provides ''ntlm_auth'' that is needed for OLE, I believe.<br />
<br />
In order to reproduce MP3, the [http://www.mars.org/home/rob/proj/mpeg/mad-plugin/#install MAD plugin] is needed. You should delete the file '''i_wmp3.dll''' in the '''Plugins''' directory. The reason is that '''i_wmp3.dll''' requires Windows Media Player, plus the MP3 codecs for WMP. It is simpler to install the MAD plugin.<br />
<br />
In order to avoid "Player initialization errors", the files d_*.dll from the Plugins directory need to be deleted. No iPod integration for you! Other devices will also not be able to synchronize.<br />
<br />
Wine needs a little bit of configuration before running. Go to Applications/Wine/Configuration and follow these steps:<br />
* In the drive pane, select Autodetect. This should create a Wine Z: drive for the file system(/).<br />
* In the audio pane, select whatever creates some sound to you. The current configured audio driver should be autodetected. Select Test to confirm.<br />
<br />
==Function Tests==<br />
<br />
Botijo verified this to work with the settings set in this wiki.<br />
<br />
Following items work:<br />
* Tag support<br />
* Database operations<br />
* File operations<br />
* Music output (my ears are itching for more music!)<br />
* Plugins (Milkdrop shows! See screenshot section. Speed is good with MilkDrop)<br />
* System tray icon<br />
* Now playing window shows correctly<br />
* Playlist management, including saving<br />
* Auto DJ queues songs<br />
* External browser is opened correctly for "Get Info/Buy"<br />
* Autoplaylists (only basic tested)<br />
* Send to Virtual CD<br />
* Gold registration<br />
* Find from the same artist<br />
<br />
Following items work with some problems:<br />
* Skins (Graphical glitches while changing skins, press Enter after doing so)<br />
* Scripts (some do, but auto scripts are not loaded after restart?)<br />
* Installation packages .mmip (Show errors, but install correctly, check notes)<br />
* Reports (Statistics fail due to some obscure SDBUI error, maybe opens a webpage; file based reports work)<br />
<br />
Following items do not work:<br />
* Device synchronization, as I have deleted all synchronization plugins<br />
* Opening webpages inside MM (gecko interface does not show anything, does MM rely so much on IE?). This includes Auto tag from Web, and maybe Statistics report.<br />
* Because of previous point, any URL related operation fails (e.g. opening an external URL, opening Podcast directory node). MM opens a dialog and shows a WININET error.<br />
* CD Rom burning: If CD/DVD is not mounted, it does not show in MM. Blank CD/DVD cannot be mounted, so burning cannot be done. Strangely enough, the burner form shows correct data with a data DVD (see screenshots).<br />
* Autoplaylists do not show on click, but they show if you browse node by node with the keyboard<br />
* Party mode is unusable and locks<br />
* Send to Email shows Thunderbird, songs are not attached<br />
<br />
Following items have not been tested:<br />
* To be determined<br />
<br />
Apart from all this, please be aware that some skins modifications (mainly resizing of windows) are painful slow.<br />
<br />
==Misc notes and links==<br />
Debug version of MM works and can report errors to developers (I hope they see my email).<br />
<br />
A way to know what MM is doing is catching all the KERNEL32 debug outputs. Of course you need the debug version of MM to do this. The usual Windows tool DebugView does not work. A crude way to do the same thing under WINE is (beware of big files!):<br />
<source lang="text">WINEDEBUG=relay wine ./MediaMonkey.exe &> /tmp/MM.log <br />
grep Debug /tmp/MM.log > MM.log</source><br />
<br />
If you resort to debugging why some feature does not work, please have a look at WINE documentation. It helps a lot.<br />
<br />
There are lots of graphical glitches that hinder your progress. Also, whenever a serious error is found (most of the time due to missing DLLs), MM will hang. The only way to continue is to kill the process. This is done with<source lang="text">killall MediaMonkey.exe</source><br />
<br />
Installation packages install correctly, but Xubuntu file manager (dunno if it happens with vanilla Ubuntu one) does not register the filetype with MM. Even in the case that the filetype .mmip is being registered correctly, WINE might not be able to translate UNIX paths (e.g. /usr/bin/) into Windows own format (unrelated example: C:\Program Files). At least that is something I read, although I do not remember where. What it means is that the argument passed to MM will be rubish, so MM will ignore it. As a workaround, you can copy your .mmip into MM install directory and run ''MediaMonkey.exe &lt;myscript.mmip&gt;'' from MM installation directory. This way no paths are being walked (pun intended).<br />

<div>==Overview==<br />
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podcast Podcasts] are Audio/Video files that are published periodically and can be subscribed to. MediaMonkey 3.x allows you to easily subscribe to Audio Podcasts, using any of the methods described below.. <br />
<br />
# Expand the Podcast node and Browse or search one of the Directories for a Podcast of interest. Double-click on the Podcast to subscribe.<br />
# If you've found a Podcast on the web, do one of the following:<br />
## Copy the feed's URL, right-click on the Podcast node and click 'Subscribe to new Podcast'. Paste the Podcast URL into the subscription dialog.<br />
## Open the associated .pcast file with your browser, which will cause MediaMonkey subscribe dialog to open up.<br />
## Open the feed's URL (in Firefox only), and when prompted, choose MediaMonkey to open the file. This will cause the subscription dialog to open up.<br />
# Choose subscription rules for the Podcast (or for all Podcasts) to define how episodes should be downloaded, and when they should be removed.<br />
<br />
The Podcast episodes will begin to download, turning from grey to black once they're downloaded. MediaMonkey will periodically check for updates and automatically download new episodes (you can also manually trigger an update of all subscribed podcasts by right-clicking on the Podcast node).<br />
<br />
To play the podcast, you can double-click the relevant Tracks in either the Podcast node, or in the Library.<br />
<br />
See the [[Podcast FAQ]] for answers to some frequently asked questions.<br />
<br />
This article is current as of MediaMonkey 3.0.3.1164.<br />
<br />
==Getting Started==<br />
<br />
Using podcast support in MediaMonkey requires thinking about:<br />
<br />
# Where to store podcast episodes<br />
# How frequently to update podcasts and download new episodes<br />
# When to automatically delete downloaded episodes<br />
# Importing existing podcast subscriptions or episodes if moving from another Podcatch client such as iTunes or Juice<br />
<br />
These [[Podcast Options]] should be reviewed before subscribing to a podcast in MediaMonkey. The defaults set in [[Podcast Options]] can be over-ridden in the "Add Subscription" and "Edit Subscription" dialogs for individual podcast subscriptions.<br />
<br />
See [http://www.mediamonkey.com/support/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=108&nav=0 How to migrate Podcasts into MediaMonkey] if you are migrating.<br />

==Database==<br />
The [[MediaMonkey Database tables]] contain 3 tables which are specific to Podcasts. Other tables, in particular Songs, are used to handle data common to podcast tracks and any other audio track.<br />
<br />
[[Podcasts table]]<br />
<br>[[PodcastDirs table]]<br />
<br>[[PodcastEpisodes table]]<br />

<div>==Overview==<br />
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podcast Podcasts] are Audio/Video files that are published periodically and can be subscribed to. MediaMonkey 3.x allows you to easily subscribe to Audio Podcasts, using any of the methods described below.. <br />
<br />
# Expand the Podcast node and Browse or search one of the Directories for a Podcast of interest. Double-click on the Podcast to subscribe.<br />
# If you've found a Podcast on the web, do one of the following:<br />
## Copy the feed's URL, right-click on the Podcast node and click 'Subscribe to new Podcast'. Paste the Podcast URL into the subscription dialog.<br />
## Open the associated .pcast file with your browser, which will cause MediaMonkey subscribe dialog to open up.<br />
## Open the feed's URL (in Firefox only), and when prompted, choose MediaMonkey to open the file. This will cause the subscription dialog to open up.<br />
# Choose subscription rules for the Podcast (or for all Podcasts) to define how episodes should be downloaded, and when they should be removed.<br />
<br />
The Podcast episodes will begin to download, turning from grey to black once they're downloaded. MediaMonkey will periodically check for updates and automatically download new episodes (you can also manually trigger an update of all subscribed podcasts by right-clicking on the Podcast node).<br />
<br />
To play the podcast, you can double-click the relevant Tracks in either the Podcast node, or in the Library.<br />
<br />
See the [[Podcast FAQ]] for answers to some frequently asked questions.<br />
<br />
==Getting Started==<br />
<br />
==Database==<br />
The [[MediaMonkey Database tables]] contain 3 tables which are specific to Podcasts. Other tables, in particular Songs, are used to handle data common to podcast tracks and any other audio track.<br />
<br />
[[Podcasts table]]<br />
<br>[[PodcastDirs table]]<br />
<br>[[PodcastEpisodes table]]<br />
<br />
The information contained in the [[Podcast Episode Tags]], in particular the Genre, Album, and Title tags, should also be considered part of the database schema.<br />

<div>== Tags updated for podcasts==<br />
MediaMonkey assigns tags to podcasts as follows:<br />
<br />
Title = episode title (<item><title>);<br />
Artist = episode author (<item><author>) (or podcast name (<channel><title>) if episode author is empty);<br />
Album = podcast name (<channel><title>);<br />
Comment = episode summary (<item><summary>) (or episode description (<item><description>)if episode summary doesn't exist);<br />
Genre = 'Podcast'; <br />
<br />
Note: iTunes feed tags take precedence over standard tags. e.g. <iTunes:author> is used in preference to <author>.<br />
<br />
==An example==<br />
The original mp3 downloaded from the feeds media repository contains almost no tags. Some feeds are better than others, but, this is not an unusual condition for the original files provided.<br />
<br />

<br />
iTunes stores episodes in it's iTunes folder Podcasts directory. A separate folder is created for each podcast. The folder is named the same as the Podcast feed Title which is also stored in the Album tag. The filename is based on the feed item title which is also stored in the Title tag.<br />

MediaMonkey stores files in the location specified by the download destination mask. Tag maintenance is similar but not identical to iTunes. Note the subtle difference in the file name. iTunes changes special characters to underscores(_), MediaMonkey changes special characters to hyphens(-).<br />

The original mp3 downloaded from the feeds media repository contains almost no tags. Some feeds are better than others, but, this is not an unusual condition for the original files provided.<br />

iTunes stores episodes in it's iTunes folder Podcasts directory. A separate folder is created for each podcast. The folder is named the same as the Podcast feed Title which is also stored in the Album tag. The filename is based on the feed item title which is also stored in the Title tag.<br />

MediaMonkey stores files in the location specified by the download destination mask. Tag maintenance is similar but not identical to iTunes. Note the subtle difference in the file name. iTunes changes special characters to underscores(_), MediaMonkey changes special characters to hyphens(-).<br />

MediaMonkey assigns tags to podcasts as follows:<br />
<br />
Title = episode title (<item><title>);<br />
Artist = episode author (<item><author>) (or podcast name (<channel><title>) if episode author is empty);<br />
Album = podcast name (<channel><title>);<br />
Comment = episode summary (<item><summary>) (or episode description (<item><description>)if episode summary doesn't exist);<br />
Genre = 'Podcast'; <br />
<br />
Note: iTunes feed tags take precedence over standard tags. e.g. <iTunes:author> is used in preference to <author>.</div>Owyn
