Feed browser/ View Feed



The feed browser shows all the feed items for a feed. Feed items are colour coded & labelled to show what items have been listened to (blue), downloaded (green) or queued (red). Different button appear according to the file status.
  • If the file isn't downloaded then a download button() and a stream button () is shown.
  • If the file is queued a queued icon() (not clickable) and a stream button is shown
  • If the file is downloaded then a play button() is shown.
The user can use links on the feed items or the feed link at the top to go through to the website for the feed and find more content available on the site. (This can happen when the feed is truncated to make it easier to download or other link to content are available on the website).

You can use the back button on the device to go back. Note that the red exit button is just a shortcut to exit the screen (even though it looks like a back button).

The info button at the bottom of the screen flips around to allow URL input and to view the browsing history.

The add button is a link to add a feed when a feed is loaded into the browser in case you find a linked podcast on the site.

Download options
After clicking the download button a popup appears to select the download options, here you can change:
  • The title that will appear on the "Downloaded files" section.
  • The other options are to download when power is connected and/or when a WIFI connection is available (Some mobile operators have "fair use" limits - which you can burn through pretty fast if you listen to podcasts a lot).
If the feed item (episode) has been used before - the feed flags are shown (see "Downloaded files" for an explanation of the flags)

Make sure you click the download button to enqueue the download (hitting back will cancel the download even though the item is not updated).
