I hope you understand that.Marianohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04576024486566426295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7696873188310393447.post-83753013631993443502009-07-26T17:30:57.209+02:002009-07-26T17:30:57.209+02:00While I think a podcast aggregator is nice and all...While I think a podcast aggregator is nice and all I just stream them directly. It doesn't always work though. Actually if you could just set it up so if there is a media tag of type audio/mpeg that it would follow that link. Either by passing an intent for the browser or music player it would just stream from there. Personally I feel that podcast aggregators should be there own program.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13948722184433480141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7696873188310393447.post-75553171225912611342009-05-21T11:52:51.154+02:002009-05-21T11:52:51.154+02:00@Jonno!, thanks man.

Podcasts are something where I haven't found a good solution for myself too. <br /><br />But for the moment it would defocus me. There is only so much I can do in my spare time and I would rather polish the existing features a bit more than broaden the scope at the moment.Marianohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04576024486566426295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7696873188310393447.post-31130747692896543802009-05-21T11:49:59.043+02:002009-05-21T11:49:59.043+02:00@grabiarz, I will answer the scaling feature reque...@grabiarz, I will answer the scaling feature request on your <A HREF="http://groups.google.com/group/newsrob/browse_thread/thread/55cb4851e429cfe0" REL="nofollow">post</A> in the forums.<br /><br />Good news: The app does already cache the operations you mentioned.<br />It will not automatically try to re-submit them though when the network becomes available (again). It will upload it with the next working sync though. Nothing is lost. All good?<br /><br />NewsRob tries to be conservative when it comes down to network access. <br />An automatic retry when the network becomes available might not be the right thing to do, depending on the external situation.<br />Consider this case, you're on a train (or in a car) in a surrounding with spotty network coverage. Then NewsRob would try to submit something, will be interrupted, try again, will be interrupted, etc. That would cause more harm then good. And when thinking about this, don't only consider the case that one article has been changed, but that a user used "Mark All Read" and there is a couple of items that need be re-synced.Marianohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04576024486566426295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7696873188310393447.post-5731154129496669192009-05-20T18:37:46.003+02:002009-05-20T18:37:46.003+02:00Sounds great, I'd love to have podcasts in the fut...Sounds great, I'd love to have podcasts in the future though. I was just posting on twitter #AskAndy about podcasts and streaming news. This would be a huge help to me, especially since your app is so awesome and saves content to the SD card. <br /><br />You rock man, keep up the good work!! =)Jonno!https://www.blogger.com/profile/15691311974174786177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7696873188310393447.post-35255747627720207072009-05-20T18:04:45.178+02:002009-05-20T18:04:45.178+02:00Do you think it's possible to have NewsRob scale i...Do you think it's possible to have NewsRob scale images from feeds to fit the screen so there's no need to scroll sideways?<br /><br />Also, it'd be good if the app cached operations like marking articles read when out of service and then detected when service is restored so it would send out the cached events.<br /><br />Thanksxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05404440387942865537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7696873188310393447.post-26413779952478262822009-05-20T18:00:20.777+02:002009-05-20T18:00:20.777+02:00This comment has been removed by the author.xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05404440387942865537noreply@blogger.com
