Hey ever since the last update I've been having some problems.
1) Intermittently when playing audio one of two things will happen. Either the audio will pause when the screen times out or the podcast will skip like I'm messing around with the seekbar (also after the screen times out).
2) All the individual episodes are completely out of order for my podcasts e.g. Episode 47 is at the top and then episode 36, 35, 34, 46, 45, 44 etc. UPDATE: I've only noticed it with 3 podcasts, the URLs are: (http://feeds.feedburner.com/mobcast) (http://rebelfm.libsyn.com/rss) and (http://feeds.feedburner.com/YouLookNiceToday) UPDATE: Fixed by deleting and re-adding the podcasts twice each.
4) When playing a video it crashes about 3/4 of the way through. UPDATE: after a video crashed in the internal player I attempted to play it in the external player with the same result.
I've had zero problems with DC for as long as I've had Android, and I hope there's a way I can fix it. Thanks for your help.

I'm on the Nexus One running Cyanogen 5.0.5.3
Just like to say I have the same problem when trying to download on wifi or 3g, it will fail 5 times in a row, I can't seem to get it to download at all. I have a HTC tattoo.
Yeah, sorry I meant to say that I'm on the Nexus 1
1 - right after this happens, please send a log (in the dc menu) with a brief description of what's happening right before the problem occurs. I'll check it out.
2 - Is this for just one feed or all of them. If it's just one, please post the url.
3 - Same as #1 (log file), but please make sure to send the log prior to a reboot. Reboots clear the log.
4 - Log file here too.
I'm currently working on a new screen which will show the success/failures of feed updates and downloads. It won't help all of these situations but should at least help with some. It should be in the next release.
I have a G1 and am experiencing the same issue since the latest update. A little more detail:
-Podcast begins to download, gets approx 5-10 megs, then rapidly fails 5 times in a row until giving up.
-Attempting to restrat the download gets another couple of megs and rapidly fails again.
-Closing out and going back in (or rebooting) allows it to retrieve 5-10 megs again (lather, rinse, repeat).
From the changelog, I'm suspect this behavior is due to the new resume feature.
I've sent my logfile to the support e-mail address--I don't want to post it publicly as I have a paid-subscription logfile and I don't want to dig through the file to obfuscate that URL. The subject line begins with (Orange Crush) and should have arrived a few minutes before this posting (11:17pm EST)
One note of caution--I'm running custom firmware, but I don't think that's a factor because others are having the same issue.
If you think it will help, I can revert to the stock G1 firmware tomorrow and see if the problem remains repeatable.
I've got your log, thanks for sending it.
I'll check it out and report back when I know something.
After quite a bit of testing I was able to narrow this down to having the JIT enabled on a custom rom. When using cyanogen's rom on a g1 with the jit enabled, this can occur. I made some changes that will be in the next release to try to minimize the frequency of it but it's still going to happen with the JIT on. One user tested a custom version I built that worked for him, but I'm still seeing it pretty consistently even with those changes.

I just bought DoggCatcher and have the same issue running Cyanogen's rom. Is the only fix to disable JIT?
You're going to need to disable the JIT. Downloads are almost never able to succeed with the JIT on. Whatever issue that there was with the JIT is resolved with 2.2.
Every time I try to download an audio podcast (haven't tried video) I cannot get it to download. It fails 5 times and gives up. On a rooted eris with JIT enabled ROM. I have been having this problem with and without JIT enabled.
It won't work with the JIT, but if you have it disabled, take a look a application log in DC and see what the error is. We can figure out what's happening from that.
I turned my JIT off and it seems to be working now. With JIT on it did work for a short time but the application would crash and this would cause a lock on the files or something.
Sent you a log file, this is happening on my gf's moto droid 1.
She is running stock android 2.2.2 pushed out from verizon. No root, no hackery, no funny business.
The error message is that JIT isn't supported on pre-android 2.2
I looked through the log file myself and I can't see any complaints about the JIT in the errors. I do see the wifi connection bouncing up and down a lot. That might explain the failed downloads, but why doggcatcher is saying this is a JIT problem is beyond me.
To test that theory I'm going to turn her wifi off and have her dl enclosures over 3G. If it's fixed I'm going to assume that was the real problem. If not, then we still have a mystery.
So that (jit) was a pretty common cause for that error back with some earlier roms but now it just means that you've had a network connection that got dropped while a file download was in progress.
I updated the cause that is displayed to explain this a bit better.
Thanks for posting.
