i-podder.js

OK, maybe the php platform is not perfect. So i did some learning today, read a thousand newsposts and start developing an i-podder for the windowsplatform. I think it should run on any windowsmachine, but some testing need to be done so please help me.

you can download the script here

Its two files:
1. i-podder.js , the script itself
2. feeds.txt

First configure feeds.txt. On the first line you put the path of the destination folder
The other lines you use to put your feeds in.

Ok. doubleclick i-podder.js and you should get a message: ‘I-podder.js starts collecting’
When its finished it gives a message: ‘I-podder.js finished collecting’

Please let me know if it works.

ToDo:
- test if files where not allready downloaded
- after downloading throw files in target folder into the itunes library ( i discovered that i-tunes on windows coms with a com-object that can be accessed with activex controls!!!)

    de JS script werkt .. getest naar een Commodore E-vic (http://www.aroundmyroom.com/evic) .. MP3 Media Player. Onduidelijk is wel of je op OK moet drukken ja dan te nee. Wellicht zou het handig zijn om bijv. een progress bar indicator te hebben. Let er wel op dat ik in dit geval geen Itunes gebruikt en het script zal daar bijv. niet op moeten failen ;-)
    Melding dat het klaar is is ook netjes ..

    Just tested it @ work and it works like charm! I download all curry and your enclosures while focusing on my work. Brilliant! But I wonder what happens if I now run the script again - does it detect which includes I already downloaded or does it download and overwrite all files again?

    Waiting in anticipation for releases to come :)

    I just ran your script on WinXP and it works very well. — What I am now wondering is if it would be possible to schedule for the script to run. I’m not much of a programmer - just your ordinary computer user, so preferably a configuration option through a popup or something? I’m gonna keep following this project closely because it’s saving me a lot of time browsing websites :)

    iPodder for Window, and Windows scripting
    I’ve been listening to Adam Curry’s audioblog for a while now, and his iPodder project has got my attention.
