Title: Handheld options: need a specific path for podcasts
Post by: Mithrandir on December 07, 2012, 07:01:26 pm

Hello,

Just got my Galaxy Note 2 and it is great.  Even better, I am done with iTunes. 

I am having an issue with the various android audio players auto bookmarking my podcasts.  Some research indicates that perhaps for this to work my podcasts need to reside in a specific podcast folder on the sd card.  I checked the Handheld options dialog and it offers specific file path options for just about everything but podcasts.  Any chance this could be added?

Thanks,
M

Try using an expression under the Audio file path.

   if(isequal([Media Sub Type], Podcast), YourPodCastDir, YourCurrentAudioDir)

replacing each of YourPodCastDir and YourCurrentAudioDir with your choice of paths.

Hello and thanks.

I tried this:  if(isequal([Media Sub Type], Podcast), Podcasts\[Artist],Music\[Artist]\[Album] )\

At synch the podcasts just ended up on what I would guess is the root of the extsd card.  They were not in a folder as were the Playlists and Music. 

What am I missing?

Thanks again.

It works for me here using a virtual handheld (a folder), so if it isn't working there, I can think of two reasons:

   1) MC is doing a conversion and the converted media doesn't have the Media Sub Type tag (so the rule doesn't trigger)
   2) MC has your particular device hardcoded to place Podcasts in a certain directory
