Please send an email to Support (support@iliumsoft.com) and they’ll help figure out why automatic updates aren’t running for you.

Thanks,

However, if I click ‘Refresh’ on the channel screen all outstanding feeds come down. An example of one of the Podcasts I’m trying to download is http://content.volvooceanrace.org/audio/Podcast/podcast.xml
Even the Ilium Software Blog doesn’t automatically download!

Great idea for the timing of downloads. It’s something a few people have asked about and we’re looking into.

As for the IE thing, that isn’t something we’ve had anyone else run into. We’ll definitely take a look and see if we can reproduce the problem. You might also want to send a note to our support folks ( support@iliumsoft.com ).

Sorry, I’m so late in posting, I just found the Ilium blog.

I have eWallet and NewsBreak. I have asked before the the podcast download feature and now you have done it. I guess I will need to permanetly attache the Bluetooth headset. NewsBreak before was a great product and now you have made it the ‘Best in Show’.

So, having said that, I do have a couple of points/issues to make.

1) I am running on a 3125 carrier is Cingular (ATT), WM5. Everthing works great, except I have noticed that after downloading a few podcasts, the IE mobile doesn’t work. It will open, and when clicking a site the connecting option appears, but nothing ever is displayed. I bounce the phone and all is well until it seems the downloads go off again, and then back to no IE.

2)It since the phone uses additional battery power when downloading, I will have to ‘plug in’ more often. I especially do it, plug in that is, over night. So, if we could schedule all download between certain hours, during power time or something. Then ‘wouldn’t it be nice’ to get your downloads every morning.

My Favorites:
Pacific Coast Hellway (carefull some content x rated) and of cours Scott Sigler. If you have not yet listened to one of Scott’s storys. Do it now!

Thanks again for a great product.

If you can drop our support folks a line we’d love to get some more details.

Also, great ideas! I’ll definitely keep them in mind.

I don’t know if it is platform specific – I have SPV C600 with Cingular ROM.

Also I would find useful some features:

- displaying categories and channels as a tree:
Category A
– Channel A1
– Channel A2
Category B
– Channel B1
– Channel B2
– Channel B3

- keys 1 and 3 act as Page Up and Page Down in Headline view.

I’m not sure what happened but the switchpod feeds are working now…I’m not going to question it. :)

Very impressed with NewsBreak 2.0!

The feeds you reference from SwitchPod are not valid RSS — which is likely the problem. You can see this for yourself by going to http://www.feedvalidator.org/ and entering one of the SwitchPod URLs.

We will contact SwitchPod and see if they can update their feeds.

I’ve been looking for a quality piece of software that could download podcasts directly to my 6700.

Most of my podcasts work fine, but ones hosted on SwitchPod do not seem to load. Some examples are:

http://www.switchpod.com/users/liketh4t/feed.xml
http://www.switchpod.com/users/pokerwire/feed.xml
http://www.switchpod.com/users/4texasholdem/feed.xml

These feeds load fine in other podcast catchers. Is there a workaround, or will this be addressed in a subsequent release?

Thanks

But I can’t get podcasts to automatically download. I have Auto Update set to “When ActiveSync avaliable”, and I have the feed for the podcast that I want to download set to Automatically download podcasts = “always” and the keep this many podcasts = “4″. Is there something else I need to do?
