Looks like you used a newer version and then downgraded to an older version? An older version can't open the database that has been upgraded to the newer version.

[gerry dublin (kiernangerald)]

thank you. i copied over my gpodder folder from a previous install of a different system so that must be the issue. this can be closed [i dont know how to do this]

[Thomas Perl (thp)]

Closed, thanks for the feedback.
