I had made a change to the older
BashPodder script, that I have imported into the new
version, that would analyze the podcast.log file by
filename, instead of a full url, to check if a podcast
episode has already been downloaded. This could cause
some problems when different files use the same
filename but I made the change to accommodate the
LugRadio podcast rss feed. The mirrors for the
episodes change frequently so every time the podcast
feed is updated with a new mirror hosting an older
episode, BashPodder downloads the episode. After
looking on the user contributed section, I have found
that James Stone has already released a version of
BashPodder that examines the podcast.log file with the
filename as well. My version uses sed while his
version uses awk to obtain the filename from a url.
Also, I added a change from Paul Laws to the
BashPodder script to delete empty directories made by
BashPodder if no files were downloaded in a session.
