Thanks for sorting this issue Ian
Can somebody please help me set this up?
My sensor.gpodder won’t show podcasts
podcasts: {}
friendly_name: gpodder
icon: mdi:headphones
This is how I set it up
gpodder:
username: !secret gpodder_username
password: !secret gpodder_password
# device: homeassistant
sensor:
- enabled: true
name: gpodder
device: homeassistant
and
- custom_player: true
default_target: media_player.schlafzimmer_2
entity: sensor.gpodder
name: Podcasts
show_player: true
type: 'custom:podcast-card'
It will not display the card at all. The podcast sensor is always empty. On http://gpodder.net I set up a new device called homeassistant and imported my .opml export from my android podcast player. I also deleted all (well, the one) podcasts with special characters to make sure that this was not causing this problem.
Just now I deleted the device on gpodder.net, re-created it (after permanently removing it from trash as well), and uploaded a test .opml with fewer subscriptions:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' standalone='no' ?>
<opml version="2.0">
<head>
<title>AntennaPod Subscriptions</title>
<dateCreated>31 Aug 19 22:32:28 +0200</dateCreated>

<outline text="Crazy/Genius" title="Crazy/Genius" type="rss" xmlUrl="https://feeds.megaphone.fm/crazygenius" htmlUrl="https://www.theatlantic.com/podcasts/" />
</body>
</opml>
That one worked. So then I tried to (manually) deleting all podcasts listed like Unknown Podcast from feeds.feedburner.com (the ones that neither display the correct logo nor podcast title). However, I was hoping to use all my podcasts as this would allow me to sync with my Android app. My next attempt would be to use the version linked in @iantrich 's gist; however, that is just the card, and the problem seems to be with the sensor itself. What else can I do and/or change to get all my subscriptions in Home Assistant?
Thanks for your help 
I tried gpodder when I saw your component. It does however not sync progress of listened episodes. Does anyone know a podcast solution that can sync progress between an android app and webapp/windows, and also integrates with HA? That’s what I really need 
In HACS this card is now showing with ‘Radial Menu Element’ as the name instead of Lovelace Podcast Card - was this intentional @iantrich
No. Probably a copy paste error on my part. I look into it. Thanks

doesn’t seem to be… refreshing HACS didn’t correct
I need some help.
This is my lovelace podcast-card:
- type: "custom:podcast-card"
entity: sensor.veleno
name: Podcasts
default_target: media_player.echo_show
show_player: True
custom_player: true
icon: mdi:podcast
and this is my config:
gpodder:
username: !secret gpodder_username
password: !secret gpodder_password
sensor:
- enabled: true
name: Veleno
device: homeassistant
- enabled: true
name: Wikiradio
device: homeassistant
- enabled: true
name: Ricciotto
device: homeassistant
- enabled: true
name: ZeroDays
- enabled: true
name: gu-mix
device: homeassistant
What i see in the UI is:
But no podcast is played after my choice… i noticed also that actually only my google home devices are able to reproduce the podcasts, so am i forced to use only those?
More, if i want to use the custom mini-media-player how to change the lovelace card config?
Are my configurations correct?
I’ve only tested on Google Home devices, as that is all that I own. I know that others have been able to get Sonos to work by changing the mime_type. Alexa devices can’t stream custom sources to my knowledge.
Your configuration looks fine and you card looks as expected with a mini-media-player. Were you expecting to see something different?
Ok thanks… can you give me an example how to use mime_type to get sonos working?
So to get mini-media-player i need only to put custom_player: true in options?
About the config i noticed if i set only one sensor i get the same all my podcast so it’s useless to have one sensor for every podcast… or not?
Now i have:
gpodder:
username: !secret gpodder_username
password: !secret gpodder_password
sensor:
- enabled: true
name: gpodder
device: homeassistant
And have the same podcasts as in the previous config…
Is it right?
Hi. I have the below in my configuration.yaml testing it out and I can see 3 subscriptions but when I click on it. It shows Podcasts and Object Object 3 times. Im guessing where the names of the subscriptions should be.
Is there a way to get the subscriptions in the love lace card and the last time a recording was release
gpodder:
username: username
password: password
sensor:
- enabled: true
name: gpodder
device: homeassistant
Thanks
Martyn
Use the podcast-card referenced in the repo and in this thread
Hi, is there an actual limit to the amount of subscriptions you can add? Every time I try to add a third I get an error:

No, there is not. Have you tried adding a different podcast to see if it is related to just that particular one?
Hi Ian, thankyou for responding - yes tried a few different podcasts in the past with the same result. Will do a bit more testing. If I remove the “Real Python” subscription all works fine. cheers

Hi
Is there a way to get a notification of a new episode in HA is available on one of your subscriptions with GPodder ?
Thanks
