I have subscriptions to many podcast feeds in amarok on my "old" computer.

I'd just as well keying them all in to amarok on the new one.

Can I export/import or cut and paste a list somewhere/somehow?

Thanks for any help.

Unfortunately we ever got around to import podcasts from the old database like we do for track statistics. Adding that now would be no use since you only get the chance to do so once basically.

What I propose you do is find an amarok script that exports to OPML and then use the OPML import feature. It's located in the Podcast category of Media Sources. Looks like a white paper with an arrow on it in the toolbar.

Thanks for your prompt reply.

Alas I can't find what you suggested. And I wonder whether it's because I am using a different version (1.4.9.1) than you - if it's old I have to blame ubuntu's update manager, it's never offered a newer version. Besides ... it works just fine.

Yes, 1.4 is ancient and no longer actively developed by us.

But you can still transfer you subscriptions using a 3th party script:

Alas I can't find a script that can export OPML. It's actually not that hard if you know a bit of python and can write a simple SQL script (hint: something like "SELECT url FROM podcastchannels;"). You can even get the urls list and manually add them that way.

O.k. thanks for your help, I'll see what I can do.

I know nothing about python so maybe this is as good a time as any to learn.

Ciao!

Why python? The Scripts for Amarok 2.x should be in Javascript, and Amarok uses C++/Qt

langstracht is trying to export from 1.4.9.1 and (as far as I can tell) will continue to use 1.4 on the new PC.

In any case there will need to be a dump of the rss feeds from 1.4 on the old PC made. Without scripting language knowledge (you can use anything the can support DCOP) that one might be easier to do by hand.
The import is a lot easier: once you have an OPML import it using the native function in amarok > 2.3 or the importOpmlAsPodcast script for 1.4.

Sorry for any confusion but (unless there is a reason not to!!) I'd intended to get the latest ubuntu 10.04 synaptic manager version of amarok. Which, based on a previous post, would be a much higher version.
