I did go to the trouble of filing a bug ticket with the gPodder dev team. In the Gtk UI, there is also an 'Extras' menu item that can be used The user is required to enter their own V3 API key, then YouTube feeds can be This was brought to my attention by a commenter, and those notes can be read in the comments of this post. That being to use a newer updated YouTube URL as the link to the feed. As I understand it, it’s basically the same as my workaround. I suppose I have 3 options patiently wait to see if the gPodder team update the app, find a podcast aggregator that is keeping up YouTube support, or give up on The Ben Heck Show cause it’s been a real pain in the ass jumping through hoops to watch it, now that it’s only on YouTube.įor anyone that might be interested in this topic, my gPodder bug ticket (and a duplicate from another user) was finally looked at and has been marked as resolved. So the reason I started using gPodder, is also the reason it is now a problem for me. Not long ago, The Ben Heck Show had changed it’s media delivery system to YouTube only. I’ve only been using gPodder for a short time, several months perhaps, and I switched to gPodder for the YouTube support. I personally wasn’t aware of this, and apparently neither were the developers of gPodder.

They have a new YouTube API starting today. Not a good sign of things to come! A little research told me that April 20, 2015, was the last day of the old YouTube API.

Instead of my weekly “ The Ben Heck Show” episode, I was provided with a silent movie from Google, telling me my “device” was basically too old.Ī quick gPodder update check showed I had the latest version. I use gPodder to aggregate my video podcast feeds and then I watch them using SageTV or XBMC/Kodi. In the mornings I like to watch my favourite video podcasts while I eat breakfast.
