A collection of helpers for using newsboat, the terminal RSS reader.
Downloads the MP3 file associated with a feed item as described by the
Podcast Download URL line.
Takes --verbose, --overwrite and --root as flags where root is the
directory you want to download to (defaults to ~/.newsboat/downloads),
--verbose prints when a file is not downloaded because it already exists and
--overwrite downloads and overwrites the file if it already exists.
Run go install ./cmd/newsboat-download-podcast to install.
Can be added as a macro to run on the current item with the following line in
your ~/.newsboat/config file:
macro d pipe-to newsboat-download-podcast
If you want to add the downloaded file to mpd you can pipe the result into
mpc add:
macro a pipe-to "newsboat-download-podcast | xargs -I'%' mpc add file://%"
macro y pipe-to "awk -e '/^Podcast Download URL:/ { print $4 }' | xclip -selection clipboard"
Use pbcopy or something instead of xclip if you're on OS X.
