The feed update routine which is now spread over several methods in Fetcher, is now put into a self-contained KJob. This will allow to re-use this job later on in e.g. gpodder sync, where it's required to update feeds before syncing episode statuses. This also makes the feed update abortable. Lastly, but most importantly, the feed update procedure has been optimized to minimize database transactions, resulting in a dramatic speed-up. This is especially true for importing new feeds, which will now be at least 5x faster on slow hardware.
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
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.
