Have ideas for new features?

"View Source" feature

It would be nice to have "View Source" option to view latest XML file from each feed. This will help user/feed admin troubleshoot feed problem much faster.

Thanks!

A desktop client with podcast sync

I use doggcatcher on my android phone and I have an iPad as well. and the biggest thing I miss on my android phone is the absence of a podcast client on desktop which will download podcasts there and sync or stream to my phone. doggcatcher already has the last bit, the only thing lacking is a desktop client. one could always use existing ones. i believe miro is open source and could be integrated in some way so that one can stream downloaded podcasts from my pc via miro to doggcatcher. its impractical to download a video podcast file on a mobile.

Show duration and elapsed time in lock screen.

The lock screen controls menu should show the total duration and the elapsed time of the currently playing podcast.

Whenever I want to see how much longer the currently playing podcast is, I have to unlock my screen, fire up DoggCatcher and look there. It could be much easier if this information would be available from the lock screen.

Regards,
Daniel

Another app required audio behaviour

The notification "another app requested audio" that pauses the podcasts instead of linking to the web browser should link to the Doggcatcher app so we can resume playing after the other app is no longer requesting audio.

thanks

Keep volume after unplugging headphones

For not having to turn the screen on, unlock the device and press pause just to talk to someone I usually just remove the headphone jack, which I configured to stop the playback, and then replugg the headphones, which is set to start the playback again, but the volume resets to a setting too low, so I have to adjust the volume every time.

Isn't that a way to memorize the volume setting from last time the phones were unplugged?

thanks

Play next

Managing playlists can be a clumsy thing when you only want to decide what to start playing after current podcast, how about this feature: while playing something long press on an item on the "audio" pane and select "play next", then when the current podcast ends it jumps for that item, and continuing playing after this one in the same order as if the user just pressed to play it, i.e. the next after this one would be the one immediately below.

Looking forward for this

thanks

Sort Categories by date only

I would like the ability to sort Categories by date only. It looks like right now Categories can only be sorted by feed/date.

Thanks for considering this!

Adjust playback speed with headset button (Expand ability to configure headset media buttons)

I really like the ability to configure the individual media buttons to do different functions that came out a couple of versions ago (http://mantis.snoggdoggler.com/view.php?id=1290).

I think it would be really cool if one of the function choices was to cycle through the playback speeds.

For example, if something is playing at 1x, and I want to speed it up, I could hit the fast forward button on my Bluetooth headset a few times, and it would start playing 1.3x. Then later, I want to slow it down, so I hit it a few more times, and stop when it's back at 1x.

Disable Screen Rotate

Hi Eric,

I looked for it but couldn´t find an option to deactivate auto-rotate (only for DC).
I think that would be a nice option.

Have a great day.

Podcast list tied with user

I recently lost all data on my phone, meaning I had to reinstall all my apps. Obviously I lost all my feeds, and adding them manually took a while

Would it be possible to be able to log in and save my feed list to my user?

I know there is a backup option but this doesnt help if my phone is lost or wiped. Potentially you can backup to the cloud?

Thanks
Ben
