Bug: Podcast URLs are overwritten when adding a new URL

Postby Bedram » 15 Nov 2010 23:11

Hello.

I had a list of podcasts in the playlist and when I tried adding a new one without clicking on the "Podcasts" first (I just clicked on the cross sign next to "Podcasts"), the old ones vanished.

That was terrible as there is no export option of the podcast URLs (and I was naive enough to not having written them down elsewhere).

Could we please get a more playlist-like option on the podcasts?

VLC version: 1.1.4
OS: Windows XP SP3 (not that I think it's a windows specific problem)

Also there seems to be an upper bound of number of podcasts that can be added to VLC.

Since the URLs of the podcasts are saved in the vlcrc file, there is a total bound of 1023 characters in the whole line, so an upper limit of 1010 characters in the number of characters allowed for podcast URLs.
