🎧 Lovelace Podcast Card/Plugin for gPodder

gpodder not work with sonos audio hardware, just with google audio hardware.

The same issue here. Any Fix?

Hi. How to change podcast episodes showed in the card? with older version I changed
feed = podcastparser.parse(url, urlopen(url), 5) to number I want.

Tried the same with:
url, urlopen(Request(url, headers=REQUEST_HEADERS)), 5 but somehow without luck.

how to correctly do this.
Thanks.

The icon isn’t showing up, but if you click where the icon would be, it should display a list of available devices. According to the thread this is fixed in v1.1.0

Hi @nanophd

Hi.

I installed GPodder from HACS and am still on 1.0.9 but it says in July 1.1 was made to fix the issue of the icon in top left.

I cant see 1.1 in the list of available installs in HACS or integration.

Where is 1.1 please ?

Also, does playback of podcasts work on echos as I can only getting it working on my Sony TV ?

Thanks

Martyn

It might be a beta/pre release… try enabling that in HACS

Hi

Just checked and no BETA versions. Im on v2. This seems to be when it went to an Integration.

Thanks

Martyn

There is an integration and a specific config for the card but my integration is v2 as well.

Hi @DavidFW1960

Please could you confirm if you are using similar for the card in v2 on your lovelace ?

entity: sensor.gpodder
name: Martyn's Podcasts
show_player: true
type: 'custom:podcast-card'
custom_player: true
default_target: media_player.living_room_echo
icon: 'mdi:podcast'

Thanks Martyn

Yes I confirm

              - entity: sensor.gpodder

The gPodder sensor is temporarily unavailable. Can this be confirmed or am I doing something wrong?

@DavidFW1960

Thank you for that.

I managed to get it to play on my Sony TV but not the Echo or Dots.

Martyn

Can anyone clarify if playback of any podcast works on a Alexa device or is it just google ?

I managed to get it to work on my Sony TV but I want to play on various places around the house.

Thanks

To my knowledge, Alexa devices cannot play URLs

OK. Cheers for confirming this. Thanks

Hi - I love this plugin but over the past couple of months I have found that it has been offline more than online. If I go to www.gpodder.net the site reports a bad gateway.

Ian - if you read this, could you give us an update?

Yeah their backend seems to be pretty intermittent. Not much I can do about that unfortunately

Dear Ian, this might not strictly only relate to your Plugin, but sensors in general, but i am a beginner and would like to ask you for some help:

my sensor.gpodder is working properly and i can play podcasts manually, but i would like to create an automation and play the latest episode of a specific subscripition. How can i call the url of the sensor specific for a subscription?

here is my sensor:

From the UI, use the podcast card. Through an automation, probably want to look at the feedreader integration to store the last episode or do some fancy templates to parse this list
