Question about Podgrab Feed links

[Thomas-O]

I live in a remote area where the internet connection can often be slow and unreliable. Which is why I hoped that Podgrab downloads might provide a solution to the frequent streaming hiccups.

I will be using Squeezebox (piCorePlayer) to listen to the podcasts. I've added the Podgrab Feed links to the Squeezebox Podcast plugin and intend to play the podcasts on a pair of Chromecast-enabled speakers with the aid of the Squeezebox Chromecast plugin.

My questions is this: if I play a podcast episode that has been downloaded to Podgrab, will Squeezebox be streaming a downloaded audio file hosted on my instance of Podgrab, or will the Podgrab Feed link connect Squeezebox to the original streaming url?

Thanks for any help clearing up my fuddlement.

It connects it to the original streaming url. So if your internet is down you have no access to it. I'll include a local feed in PodFetch.

Release 67 of PodFetch will contain a local RSS feed. I could download podcast episodes without a problem via gPodder

Great news. PodFetch 67+ sounds like the answer to my problems. And thank you for clearing up the confusion.
