RSS Hub-Downloaded Files Disappearing

DLCPhoto · #1 (**permalink**) 01-02-2010, 12:19 PM

I've been using the RSS Hub more in the last few weeks, and really like it. The problem is I'll download a number of Podcasts on a few different channels (each of which is properly configured to keep 5-10 individual podcasts), and when I go to listen to them later, they're showing as not downloaded.

I have it set to store the Podcasts on my Storage Card, using around 1.6gb of space there, so I am not exceeding the storage limits.

Is anybody running into this, or know why this would be happening, or how it can be fixed? Other than this, the RSS Hub app really works well for me.

I downloaded the tried the Viigo Beta, but this has no built-in search capability, doesn't utilize the TouchScreen as well as RSS Hub, and I just don't like it as much.

Any other RSS Readers that work well with the TP2?

Thanks.

Bump:

Any ideas here?

I've seen some endorse YomoMedia - anybody familiar with this?

RSS Hub works great for me and I would recommend to anyone. An excellent RSS reader that I used on the Blackberry Storm is called VIIGO. They have a beta version for Winmo. Give that a shot.

i remember RSS having a setting to only keep downloaded files for x amount of time, make sure you dont have it set to low amount

also take a look at SPB news and Egress readers as alternatives

Thanks for the replies and suggestions.

I checked RSS Options again, and didn't see any option for how long to keep the Podcasts, only for how much storage space to use, and whether to use the device or card (I use the card). Are you sure that's an option for this version or RSS Hub on the TP2?

I tried Viigo, but as far as I could see, there was no option to do a search for a new RSS feed, only one to manually paste in a URL, so I deleted that one.

I then tried YomoMobile, and at least for now, I'm sticking with that. It is free, can be used on both Desktop and TP2, with a sync process between the two of them. That way, I can configure everything the way I want, adding and searching for feeds, on my Desktop, where it's much more efficient, and my device will get updated when it next logs in. The User Interface is good as well, and the Feeds can be organized into various "Bundles" or categories, with a tab for each, along with a separate tab for all downloaded Podcasts which is very handy.
