Importing/exporting feeds from another client

castero supports importing and exporting an OPML file of your subscriptions in order to easily transfer them between other podcast clients. Please refer to your other client's documentation for details on how/if it supports this format.

Importing and exporting from castero are available with command line flags. Run castero --help for details.

Configuration

The configuration file is located at {HOME}/.config/castero/castero.conf after the client has been run at least once.

Please see the default castero.conf for a list of available settings.

User data, including downloaded episodes and a database with your feed information, is located at {HOME}/.local/share/castero/. These files are not intended to be manually modified. Removing the database will simply cause castero to replace it with an empty one the next time you run the client.

Testing

This project uses pytest for testing. To run tests, run the following command in the project's root directory:

$ python -m pytest tests

You can also run tests for an individual unit, i.e.:

$ python -m pytest tests/test_feed.py

castero's Issues

Not save Play position

when i play an episode and than play another episode or exit from program
castero don't save play position and start from the start
i don't know that is bug or castero not support that for now?
it is so important for long episode.
can you please add this feature to castero?

feature request: playback speed

I know in MPV [ & ] can be used to adjust playback speed, would it be possible to add this feature?

can castero be faster?

i start use and review castero
i fell castero startup is slow ( i know that is python program)
i add only one feed only ( i am not test more feed can affect that)
that is output of time for ranger and castero

➜  ~ time ranger
ranger  0.47s user 0.02s system 47% cpu 1.027 total
➜  ~ time ranger
ranger  0.47s user 0.02s system 43% cpu 1.124 total
➜  ~ time ranger

➜  ~ time castero
castero  0.81s user 0.44s system 38% cpu 3.215 total

if reading from disk make castero slower ranger has more config file.
startup and cpu usage is so high.
i think ranger is slow to but feature couldn't found any where (image preview)
which part of code could make castero slow?
have a podcast player in terminal is so awesome and thanks for your program so much.

OPML Spec v2 isn't supported

Support for gpodder.net sync

Hi, thanks for castero. It's a really nice application.

Could you add support for gpodder.net sync?. I would like to sync castero with my android podcasts manager. There is a python library to handle the sync https://mygpoclient.readthedocs.io . The same library is used by the gpodder client.

FYI 01/2019 some required packages to install

I got this message:

% castero
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/castero", line 6, in
from pkg_resources import load_entry_point
File "/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/init.py", line 3126, in

raise DistributionNotFound(req, requirers)
pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'cjkwrap' distribution was not found and is required by castero

So I had to install these packages:
python-pympv-git
python-cjkwrap

Now it works.

Add searching in menus

Add a way to filter items in a menu. When you press / a prompt should appear which lets you enter text to filter the selected menu.

Annotate/mark downloaded podcasts in the episode list

It would be nice if you could see which episodes were available for offline listening without having to read the metadata pane for each episode (particularly since there doesn't appear to be any way to scroll that pane, so sometimes you can't see that information at all).

VLC no longer seems to work

Surprisingly, castero changes your config automatically to default to mpv from vlc (probably would have been smoother to leave existing configs as vlc).

However, even after you change it to VLC, you still get:
castero.player.PlayerDependencyError: Sufficient dependencies were not met for any players

I haven't really looked into yet, so I'm not sure if there's anything obvious here.

Offline listening doesn't seem to actually work

The download/save functionality works as expected, and the client does recognize that the file is available on disk, but if you try to play with access to a network, it uses the network stream. If you don't have a network, it just gets stuck playing 00:00:00 / 00:00:00.

Queue reset when client is closed

Hi,

I've noticed the queue has been emptied after I accidentally exited castero. I had carefully selected episodes to listen, and was surprised to find the queue empty after launching again castero.

I think it would make sense to automatically save the queue and have it restored at startup.
What do you think?

mpv support now requires compiler and dev libraries

There's no wheels for pympv, so installing Castero now requires your system have a compiler and the mpv headers. Is there any way we can make this a conditional requirement?

support for mpv player?

Is there a plan to support mpv in addition to vlc, to play the podcasts, in the future?

feature request: default playback speed

It would be very handy to be able to set a default playback speed in the config file.

I tend to listen to all my podcasts at 1.8x speed. This would save me from having to adjust the speed manually for each podcast.

Python3

This project page:

https://pypi.org/project/castero/

Looked as if we can use Python 3. alas, it doesn't run.

Is there a process to do that?

Episode metadata seems truncated at 35 lines

I'm so happy to find castero. Thank you for making it. It's really cool how you appear to have taken inspiration from ncmpcpp and newsbeuter and combined them into an awesome podcast program.

One small thing I've noticed is that the episode metadata pane appears to truncate its content at 35 lines.

Can you reproduce?

Checking feeds from certain URL from a config file

For now after testing it a bit seems like all the feeds are needed to import manually.

Would be nice to add feeds from ./user/config/castero/urls -file

Better filesystem sandboxing for tests

It appears that if you try to test castero with a user that actually has it installed, the tests can't avoid sucking in your user-specific config in some cases, causing failures. It would be nice if the test harness were fully enclosed and only referred to config files that were stored in the repo or generated on the fly in the tests.

Stricter separation of color configuration options

Now, the color of the header and the footer is the same as the color of a selected item. Conceptually, these do not seem like the same thing, and although I've found a color I'm satisfied with for the selected item, it makes the header and footer unreadable (see screenshot below).

Other color options should have less global effects too/be more user specifiable too, imo, but I'm not sure if you're open for more changes. In cmus, which is very similar looking, you have separate color options for the headers and the dividing lines, and the color of the main text. I kinda dig this, because this gives headers a visual style of being important, but keeps the text my preferred color, so that castero doesn't look out of style.

TypeError: Can't instantiate abstract class Primary with abstract methods update_menus

I just updated to castero 0.6.0 and I have this error when I want to start it:

UI corruptions caused by mpv

Some files cause mpv to paint (unhelpful) warnings, and maybe also errors, over the castero interface (see screenshots). I have most warnings disabled in my mpv config, if that matters.

Steps to Reproduce

Podcast 1

Add the following podcast feed to castero: https://anchor.fm/s/840a38c/podcast/rss
Play the first episode:

Podcast 2

I found a podcast where this behavior is even more severe (but it has glitches all over, e.g. it displays some characters weirdly in the metadata field, so it might be not something fixable from castero).

Add the following podcast feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/CoolGamesInc?format=xml
Play the first episode
Scroll around a bit, and watch the interface glitch out

System info

I'm running mpv and castero from git master, in kitty terminal.

Documentation Clarification

In castero.conf it should be clarified that custom_download_dir is relative to home directory.
I tried ~/Podcasts & $HOME/Podcasts which respectively created /home/USER/~/Podcasts and /home/USER/$HOME/Podcasts.

ex.

[downloads]
# The location to save episodes downloaded for offline playback. Set to blank
# or whitespaces to disable -- the client will default to either $XDG_DATA_DIR,
# if set, otherwise ~/.local/share/castero/downloaded
# Note: this is relative to your home directory - to use ~/Podcasts set to Podcasts.
# default: (blank)
custom_download_dir =

Split feeds into individual files

Putting all the feeds in one file creates a few of problems:

The file is completely rewritten from scratch during reload even if only a single feed is updated, causing extra wear on the type of flash devices that commonly exist on the types of machines that you might want a CLI podcast client on
You can't selectively load parts of the file (at least using the standard json implementation), so if you have a large number of feeds with a large number of episodes, you load up megabytes of data you're never actually going to look at in the client

Crashes when feed item lacks audio

Hello,

First, thanks for working on this app, I love the simple interface!

My problem is that if there happens to be a "news item" in a feed that contains no audio file, the application will crash.

For instance I listed to Software Engineering Radio. There are a few items that come up in their feed like this:

https://www.se-radio.net/2018/03/seeking-a-new-volunteer-host/

Attempting to download this "episode" will cause a crash. Here is a sample paste of some of the output. It is hard to grab all of it as the errors scroll:

https://is.gd/dBtmWK

Let me know if I can provide any more info.

Cheers

Empty description crashes castero

If you add a podcast without description, the program will crash if you try to select it (or if is the only one).

Example: http://podcasts.joerogan.net/feed/rss

description = description.replace('\n', '')
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'replace'

I messed with the SQLite database and I found that, if the field is NULL, then this error happens. An empty string makes the error go away, and OFC, proper description works aswell.

feature request: default playback speed

runtime dependency on python-vlc

Castero (0.41) still requires python-vlc when run with only python-mpv dependency met.

mpv ModuleNotFoundError

I have mpv and libmpv1 installed and can play audio with it directly, but trying to play a file from within castero crashes with the following error:

It looks like castero doesn't know how to find mpv. How can I fix this?

Support 16 terminal colors (i.e. bright color variants)

I'm pretty sure there is more colors available in a color theme than just "black, blue, cyan, green, magenta, red, white, yellow". For example, cmus (which is also curses-based) supports bright variants of said colors, e.g. light-yellow. I think most themes I've seen also define 16 colors (see e.g. nord). The fix for this seems pretty simple (just add more names to COLOR_NAMES in https://github.com/xgi/castero/blob/master/castero/display.py), so I might make a PR if I dig castero (just discovered it). EDIT: used it for a bit, great app, just what I needed.

It's not consistent with the keybindings I defined in castero.conf.

Remove html from podcast metadata

If the metadata of a podcast entry contains html (e.g. images) it should be removed. The metadata should only contain pure text

At the moment it is looking like the following:

Feeds that remove episodes

Hey there,

Is there currently any way to support/deal with feeds that remove episodes? For example, I have a feed that only has the latest 5 episodes. I download the episodes for archival purposes, but as soon as they disappear from the feed, they are removed from castero's display, even if downloaded. Is there any way to keep such episodes appearing in the list, or am I out of luck here? Thanks!

EDIT Totally missed the retain_absent_episodes option - silly me!

The column headers are not filled with the correct color

The color is not used for the column header. It's only used for the text background.

Running Error Traceback

After a 'successful' install, running castero from cmd runs this error. I've tried both pip install and manual clone from Git hub, both calling this same error. Running Windows 10, what can I do?

Request for custom keybindings

Would it be able to have custom keybindings or at the very least emacs and vim modes?

feature request: played status

Hi,

I am currently subscribed to 47 feeds with 5919 total episodes. I love using castero on my laptop to listen to these podcasts, but not being able to see which episodes have already been played makes it difficult sometimes.

Especially because I just started really getting into castero, but have already listened to hundreds of these episode.

So I was wondering if there will be a feature in the future that will mark unplayed/played status (or perhaps an option to toggle displaying all episodes or unplayed only, or perhaps both option combined)?

Thanks in advance.

can not run castero

hi
i install castero with this command
pip3 install castero
but
castero zsh: command not found: castero

i use zsh and kbuntu 19.10

Reconsider player library dependencies for non-PyPI installations

First of all, I do consider it to be an issue if users would have to install the binaries for every player that castero supports (mpv, vlc, potentially more). However, it is important to clarify that there is a difference between the Python libraries which I use to interact with these applications, and the applications themselves. castero can run and work perfectly fine with just one of these players installed; I don't personally have vlc on my system, except when I'm using it for testing.

At this point I'd like to say that the only "officially supported" way to install castero is with pip, which is partly for this reason. When you install castero with pip, it does require that the libraries used to interact with the players are installed. This is mostly a convenience thing, because these libraries themselves are very small and having them all downloaded by default means the user doesn't have to manually install these libraries if they decide to separately install vlc and change their config to use that instead.

The issue comes with package managers, which have their own dependency chains. The castero AUR package, which I do not maintain, defines python-vlc (the small Python library) as a dependency. Installing that package, however, does require you to download vlc. Which I agree is problematic for users who don't want to install vlc (myself included).

I'm not sure the best solution to this. The main concern I have with making all of the libraries optional is that it adds an additional step to the castero installation process, which is to manually install some other library to actually use the client (and you'd also have to do that if you ever want to switch players). I could potentially have a prompt either on first-run or if no players were detected to tell the user to go install one. But again, I really don't like increasing the friction from installing castero to actually using it.

Next page in a feed after setting max_episodes

I have
set max_episodes = 30

How would I got to the next time items of the feed?

And btw question:
How to search for episodes in a feed?

External downloader script

Noting this here just to track thoughts if anyone has any before I go off and implement things...

It would be nice if the installation included a non-interactive downloader that could be called from cron to handle periodic downloading of new episodes outside of when you were running the UI.

Castero (0.4.1) does not close correctly if it is playing

I have to close it with Ctrl+c

Feature Request: OPML Import

I have a lot of podcasts in a different app which would be nice to import en masse. I wonder if OPML import (and maybe export) could be implemented?

error adding rss feed

I get an error with the following feed:

https://fitnessrevolucionario.com/feed/podcast/
An error ocurred while downloading the feed
(I attach the current xml for the rss)

Really don't know how to debug the error, or if it's and issue...

PD- Sorry my english, and thanx by the software.

User-specified metadata on feeds

It would be nice to have the ability to store user-specified metadata on the feeds when they're persisted to disk. This would allow for things like an external downloader (for example.. :-)) to look at the Feed object and see if the user has set a custom schedule (why try to download new data 4 times a day when it's a weekly podcast that almost always comes out on mondays, or something).

Possibly also we could allow for some notes to be set that might optionally also show up in the UI, based on user configuration, or any number of other prospective use cases. You could imagine also wanting this for Episodes, if users wanted to take their own notes per episode, or subject-matter tags, etc. Even if the UI didn't really show these things, then you could write some custom scripts to find episodes based on a tag later when you wanted to dig them up.

App crash on terminal resize

I run it in a tmux pane. Playback stops every time I resize teminal window.
Although I can resize pane with app in tmux without any problem. Here is what it shows me:

Limit the amount of episodes doesnt work?

I have

max_episodes = 50

on the settings but it still downloads over 1000 episodes from a feed.

Feature request: don't delete old podcast entries (make time span configurable)

When castero fetches new available podcast content, old content got removed.
It would be nice to have the possibility that the old feed content don't get deleted and to configure a time span or a number of max podcast entries per feed after that castero deletes old content.

Install issue - missing 'perspectives' directory

I'm installing this via archlinux PKGBUILD, which does a fairly simple python setup.py install --root="$pkgdir/" --optimize=1 (see https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/castero-git/).

The issue that I'm seeing is that the 'perspectives' directory doesn't get created under the installation directory, which causes castero to bomb as soon as a key is pressed.

Looking through your setup.py - is it possible you need to add the 'perspectives' directory to the package_data, i.e. here?:

    package_data={
        'castero': ['templates/*'],
},
