This implements the gpodder API from scratch. It turned out that
libmygpo-qt has several critical bugs, and there's no response to pull
requests upstream. So using that library was not an option.
The implementation into kasts consists of the following:
- Can sync with gpodder.net or with a nextcloud server that has the
nextcloud-gpodder app installed. (This app is mostly API compatible
with gpodder.)
- Passwords are stored using qtkeychain. If the keychain is
unavailable it will fallback to file.
- It syncs podcast subscriptions and episode play positions, including
marking episodes as played. Episodes that have a non-zero play
position will be added to the queue automatically.
- It will check for a metered connection before syncing. This is
coupled to the allowMeteredFeedUpdates setting.
- Full synchronization can be performed either manually (from the
settings page) or through automatic triggers: on startup and/or on
feed refresh.
- There is an additional possibility to trigger quick upload-only syncs
to make sure that the local changes are immediately uploaded to the
server (if the connection allows). This will trigger when
subscriptions are added or removed, when the pause/play button is
toggled or an episode is marked as played.
- This implements a few safeguards to avoid having multiple feed URLS
pointing to the same underlying feed (e.g. http vs https). This
solves part of #17
Solves #13
Still to be done:
- Update Download Page to show partial downloads.
- Connect signals to Download Page to update whenever an enclosure
changes status. This is broken by this commit because
downloadCountChanged has been removed.
- This refactoring also includes a cleanup of a lot of header includes to
avoid circular dependencies.
- The error message will now be shown below the info message.
- Add database migration (for Errors)
The file size in the database will be corrected if it doesn't match the
real file size.
The "new" status will be unset once the file has been downloaded.
