Update ID3 Tag of Podcasts if Title is empty

[jd1p3k]

I have just started using podcasts on subsonic and this is awesome! I found that some podcast feeds do not name their files in such a friendly way:
ex:

Code: Select all

pgm253_pod.mp3

If the ID3 tags not filled in. I have been trying to find a way within subsonic to update ID3 tags based on the xml file from the rss feed since all of that information is there and its already parsed when using the Podcast interface. Here is an example from the XML file [url]l[/url]:

Code: Select all

<title><![CDATA[Going Beyond: Composer Sites in Europe; Portugal Beyond Lisbon; Food Adventures ]]></title>                       
<guid></guid>


I haven't been able to find an easy way to just set the ID3 Title to the title from the XML.

You could even fill in the other information based on the xml if it is empty in the ID3 tag: pubDate, author, etc

Keep up the great work!

I second this request! When viewing podcasts from the "Podcast receiver" screen, I see the date that each podcast was published and a "nice" title for each entry. However, after downloading them, and looking at the list of podcasts in the browser, the title of the track is usual cryptic at best, and the MP3 ID3 information (if there is any) doesn't match what the podcast RSS had in it. Call it sloppy podcasting ... absolutely. But it would be nice if Subsonic would be smart and update the track information with what the RSS was exposing since that it was is exposed when going to the playback screen.

Thanks for taking this idea into consideration!
