|
|
Hi, this is your host Archer 72 for Hacker Public Radio.
|
|
In this episode I share some of my findings about a problem with newsboat naming of the
|
|
HPR feeds, which is brought up in comments about my show HPR 4424 regarding newsboat
|
|
and Reddit.
|
|
I already had some findings of his own about the CCDN.Phb extension in the feed.
|
|
I thought that this might be able to be fixed on an individual basis and I set up to ask
|
|
Cloud the AI a few questions.
|
|
But first, some collaboration from Dave Morris about a good renaming format.
|
|
This was definitely more on Dave's side than mine, but came up with this and I'll leave
|
|
the script in the show notes.
|
|
You can tell Dave's handy work from the short variable names, which stem from his extensive
|
|
experience on Unix type machines and university days.
|
|
All I or so I thought he said he just likes to keep his file, he said he just likes to keep
|
|
his variable short to save on typing.
|
|
At first, the question was about something simple.
|
|
The input was Aquarian, one of the lines from Kevin's HPR 4398 command line fund downloading
|
|
a podcast, particularly the section on how to get the latest episode of Touch Jam, which
|
|
is a WGET in curl command, which I rewrote to a WGET with adding the flag dash NC, which
|
|
is for no clobber, just in case the podcast is already downloaded and HP for where you want
|
|
to put the podcast in which directory.
|
|
The reason for the dollar sign and open and close parentheses instead of the backtick,
|
|
to enclose a command was the former was being deprecated in GNU bash reference manual 3.5.4 command
|
|
substitution.
|
|
On the next query, I went in a different direction than downloading Touch Jam and asked
|
|
to download the last two HPR shows, but head minus two did not work as expected, it turned
|
|
out to be an issue with placement of Xars, joining all URLs and passing them to WGET
|
|
all at once, and then I'll show the original and the rewritten one from Cloud in the show notes.
|
|
The key fixes in Cloud Code were to remove the premature Xars before head minus two, so I had to
|
|
actually limits the list to two URLs. Moving Xars, WGET to the end after the list is already trimmed,
|
|
and the other fix was to clean up the HTTPS, the Astrix to HTTP, HTTPS,
|
|
question mark, the original would also match HTTPS, SSS, et cetera.
|
|
Now I wanted the downloaded file to go to the Q file located until the slash.local slash share slash
|
|
newsboat slash Q. After several iterations in Cloud, it was determined that the audio of
|
|
URL was not being expanded by the percent you in the download macro. The solution was to add
|
|
slash temp file to hold the actual audio URL, and then the next is what I got help writing a macro,
|
|
and it's set the browser macro D, which is using your comma and then D, and set browser echo D,
|
|
percent you to slash temp slash HPR URL, TXT, double ampersand,
|
|
tilde slash bin slash download and rename HPR, dash Dave, open in browser, set browser to your normal
|
|
browser. A few Cloud questions later after asking to add a function to the macro in order to add
|
|
the resulting downloaded file to the Q, the file name HPR1234 was being added to the Q instead of
|
|
the rename file. The next thing from Cloud was two things to fix, the rename file,
|
|
the rename file isn't being found because LS-T runs before the rename has fully settled,
|
|
or the glob isn't matching the new file name format, which includes spaces and semicolons.
|
|
The other thing to fix is that the existing Q entry show the correct format
|
|
in the form, in quotes URL, and in quotes path downloaded, we need to match that with downloaded
|
|
status and full rename path including extension and the Cloud comment. I'll include in the show
|
|
notes the resulting rename script. The key point in the new rename script is using comma minus 13
|
|
spelled COMM minus 13 on sorted before after file list, which is a more reliable than using
|
|
LS-T, it finds exactly which file is new regardless of timing. Check slash temp slash HPRD bug log
|
|
after the next run to see what downloaded and renamed show, and the information about using
|
|
comma dash 13 is in the GNU Core Utils comma invocation. If I use the leader key, which is the comma
|
|
and lowercase D, then the podcast will be downloaded and renamed automatically to the correct format.
|
|
Well that's all I have. I'm going to put the Cloud conversation on archive.org and link to it from
|
|
the show notes. That's all I have. I hope this helps on the newsbook question that was brought
|
|
up in the comments for my previous show. Bye bye.
