I have noticed that MC is making duplicate and triplicate podcast downloads. I have no idea when this began, but perhaps around the change from Version 19 to Version 20. Of course, I would like to correct this. Here is a directory listing of one podcast directory to illustrate the problem:

i've seen this behavior for a long time.  not sure what causes it.  I don't think podcasts have received any attention or 'fixes' for years.  i hope they get some much needed love eventually.

[Mike48]

Hey Justin, thanks for the reply. I agree, it would be great to see the podcast features and interface improved. I'm a computer nerd, but every time I want to add a new feed, I have to figure it out all over again.

Next build:
Fixed: Podcasting could download duplicate tracks (only maybe fixed, so testing appreciated).

I couldn't reproduce the issue.  So I just made a change I think will make it work, but I'm not sure.

[Mike48]

Thanks, Matt!  Next time I receive a JRiver update, I'll delete the dups and see if the fix works.

Looking at the directory list I sent, I see the dups are all a little larger (filesize) than the originals. I wonder if that has any significance?

Could also "keep only last x..." get some love. I have some subscribed to some news podcasts and have to manually delete old news. Thanks
