downloaded podcasts episodes disappear from list

Thank you for your bug report. The issue is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug the to the people writting the software (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME)

Could you give a podcast url example?

It happens with all feeds for me. Example: http://chaosradio.ccc.de/chaosradio_express-latest.rss

cannot reproduce here, could you get a rhythmbox debug log? please run rhythmbox as: rhythmbox --debug &> rhythmbox-debug.txt ; reproduce the issue and attach that resulting file to the report, thanks.

I think this bugreport is about the same thing: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=590474

Now I started rhythmbox with --debug, clicked an episode to download it, an after reaching 100% the episode disappears.
Debug-File ist almost empty.

I've managed to work out what triggers this bug, if you have selected the "Watch my library for new files" option in the Music tab of the preferences dialog AND you download podcasts into the folder (or sub folder) of the one being watched then the podcasts disappear from the feed window.

For example, I watch the folder

/home/steve/Music

and store my podcasts in

/home/steve/Music/Podcasts

This gives two workarounds for now,

1) Leave the podcasts where they are, but uncheck the "Watch my library for new files" option.
2) Move the podcasts to a folder which is not being watched

I have chosen to move my podcasts to

/home/steve/Podcasts

and no longer see this problem. Could the original submitter (or anyone else seeing this problem) confirm my workarounds?

Hopefully someone can now recreate this bug and try to find a proper solution.

I can confirm this. This is actually the workaround suggested in the Gnome bug Ralf linked to earlier: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=590474

1) Leave the podcasts where they are, but uncheck the "Watch my library for new files" option.
This option works for me, many thanks. Superb.

Uncheck the watch may library did not work for me

Will there be a fix for karmic, too?

the change is not likely going to karmic no, lucid will be available in one month and efforts are focussed on it now, this issue is a small one and users who handled it until now without changing software or operating system can probably wait until lucid

now it works well for me...

Sorry, i'm using 0.12.8 version, and this bug is STILL there.
And when I try to remove the podcast, rhythmbox crashes.

true, it's not working properly. But at least I can download fluently the
new pods...
I hope it'll be fixed.
Best wishes,
