Rhythmbox repeatedly downloads podcasts from podibooks

[ShawnD]

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

Podcasts from podiobooks.com repeatedly download, even if the exact episode is already there.

Other podcasts (CBC, NPR, escapepod, etc.) work fine.

Every time rhythmbox is started, or when it re-checks the podcasts hourly, it downloads the most recent episode, even if it is already downloaded.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Sign up at podibooks.com and subscribe to an audiobook (Free)
2. Add the personal RSS feed to rhythmbox
3. Wait

Expected behaviour: Each episode is only downloaded once.

A screenshot is attached.

System Information:
Ubuntu 8.10 with all current updates
ii rhythmbox 0.11.6svn20081 music player and organizer for GNOME

thanks for the report, could you create a new user on your system and run rhythmbox there as: rhythmbox --debug &> rhythmbox-debug.txt perform the operation to add the podcast, try to reproduce the bug and attach the file to the report? thanks.

Here is the debug log after creating a new account and adding one podcast to it.

After leaving it for several hours it had again downloaded the file multiple times.

The file only appears once in the download directory.

do you still get the issue? what do you do exactly to trigger the bug? just let rhythmbox running for some hours?
