Updating podcasts
Manual update
Podcasts need to be regularly updated. To do so, click on the Update all podcasts toolbar buttons, or select the podcasts you want to update, right-click and select the Update selected podcasts menu item. A single podcast can also be updated by opening it and clicking on the Update this podcast toolbar button.
Automatic update
Podcast can be automatically updated on Jampa's start-up, and / or on a regular basis. This behaviors can be set through the preferences window, under the Podcasts section.
Listening to podcasts
Open the podcast by double-clicking on it in the Podcasts view. In the opened view, double-click on the item you want to listen to. Podcasts item can be read "on the fly", e.g. streamed, or fully downloaded and cached before playing. In the preferences window, under the Podcasts section, if Always download a podcast before play is checked, double-clicking on an item will start its download, if it is not present in Jampa's podcasts cache. If the podcast item has previously been downloaded, it will start playing immediately. if Always download a podcast before play is unchecked, the podcast item will be streamed, if it has not been previously downloaded.
This may be seems confusing, but the rule is simple: if a podcast item is present in Jampa's cache, it is played from cache.
Podcasts items can be manually downloaded by making a selection of podcasts items, right-clicking and select the Download selected podcasts menu item.
Modifying podcasts
From the Podcasts view, select the podcast, right-click on it and select the Properties menu item. In the dialog box, you can change change the podcast's name and / or its url.
