Can't open vocal after a podcast feed is added

[Guilherme Fuck]

The first time I opened Vocal it was ok. Then I added some podcast feeds, and after a reboot it won't open anymore.
If I run the command "vocal" in a terminal it gives me the following output:

[_LOG_LEVEL_INFO 20:58:38.364015] Application.vala:155: Vocal version: 0.1
[_LOG_LEVEL_INFO 20:58:38.364097] Application.vala:157: Kernel version: 3.13.0-43-generic
[_LOG_LEVEL_FATAL 20:58:38.447588] [Gtk] gtk_container_remove: assertion 'GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed
[_LOG_LEVEL_FATAL 20:58:38.447633] Vocal will not function properly.
Segmentation fault

If I delete the folder ~/.config/vocal it works again, but with no feeds added.

Hi! Can you give me a list of podcast feeds that you have added?

Thanks!

Hello! First, I added a .opml file wich I exported from gPodder. It contained the following feeds:

http://feeds.feedburner.com/99vidaspodcast
http://feeds.feedburner.com/ds_podcast
http://jovemnerd.com.br/feed/?cat=42
http://jovemnerd.com.br/categoria/matando-robos-gigantes/feed/
http://feeds.feedburner.com/soundcloud/HgFV
http://www.theskepticsguide.org/feed/rss.aspx?feed=SGU
http://www.howstuffworks.com/podcasts/stuff-you-should-know.rss
http://feeds.feedburner.com/UniversoWhoPodcast
http://feeds.feedburner.com/WelcomeToNightVale

It seemed to work, until the next reboot. So I deleted the folder from .config and added just two of them:

http://jovemnerd.com.br/feed/?cat=42
http://feeds.feedburner.com/soundcloud/HgFV

Same thing, after a reboot it wouldn't open anymore.

Thanks! A few others have reported the same issue, but I haven't been able to reproduce the problem so far. I'll try those feeds and see if I can get it to break.

Hey! I think I have fixed the issue. The update is out, but you may have to reset Vocal. See this post for more info: http://www.vocalproject.net/blog/2015/1/31/some-growing-pains

Please let me know if that did the trick or not.

Cheers!

Hi! I'm so sorry for taking so long to give you an answer. My computer had some problems and it took me a long time to be able to fix them and test it.
Anyway, I followed the steps in your post and Vocal is working perfectly now. Thank you so much!

Hi,

when i add these Postcast the app crashes:

[_LOG_LEVEL_INFO 14:09:08.029286] Library.vala:307: Adding podcast from file: http://feed.rasenfunk.de/tribuenengespraech

It's german: memory access error.

And yes deleted .local/share/vocal& .config/vocal bedore

Cheers!

Hey @wreeetch, I'm going to re-mark this as Fix Committed. The fix is in trunk (and therefore the daily PPA), but we haven't actually issued an official release with the fix in it.

Cheers,
