Bart De Vries f861f4e802 Add podcast subscription and episode play state synchronization

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

Kasts

Kasts is a convergent podcast application.

Get it

Nightly Android APKs are available at KDE's Binary Factory.

Building

Note: When using versions of kasts built from git-master, it's possible that the database format or the name of downloaded files change from one version to another without the necessary migrations to handle it. If you notice bugs after upgrading to a git-master version, export your feeds, delete ~/.local/share/KDE/kasts and import the feeds again.

Requirements

KCoreAddons
KI18n
KConfig
Kirigami
Syndication
TagLib
QtKeychain

Linux

git clone https://invent.kde.org/plasma-mobile/kasts
cd kasts
mkdir build && cd  build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/usr
make
sudo make install

This assumes all dependencies are installed. If your distribution does not provide them, you can use kdesrc-build to build all of them.

Android

You can build Kasts for Android using KDE's Docker-based build environment.
