A few major fixes and improvements #3
Conversation
…sodes are copied. Add additional docs to README about this and other flags.
- Perform feed matching by feed URL instead of fuzzy matching which seems to have 100% success rate, old method wasn't working at all for me. - Ignore uninitialized PA feeds - Add support for transferring in-progress episodes - Fix bug in episode URL match fallback logic where it wasn't doing anything when a match was found, and add log message when URL match is successful - Fix error from referencing SimpleChapters.type column which doesn't exist in AP 3.6.1 - Remove some unnecessary repeated calls to print function where \n literal could be used instead.

Thank you @fadookie! You saved me a few hours of work. I tested your version for migrating my podcast and it worked well. I can't say anything about migrating downloaded files, but moving my podcasts and the listened episodes worked. |

@sroener Awesome! I just pushed another commit that adds support for migrating feed tags. If you want that and already migrated your DB, let me know, I can prepare a branch with a version of this script that only copies tags and leaves everything else alone (I did the same locally as I have already migrated and started using my AP database.) |

@fadookie I already retagged all my podcasts, but thank you! It will be useful for other people. I was just wondering if introducing a CLI would be reasonable instead of setting environment variables for certain options? |
|
@sroener Yeah, this is easy to do with python's built-in argparse module, although as I am basically done meeting my needs with my changes I don't know if I have the motivation to do it. |
Thanks for publishing this awesome tool. It was recommended to me by the AntennaPod maintainers when I was looking to migrate off of Podcast Addict. I got it working but it took some effort. Here's a PR with all my fixes and new features:
SimpleChapters.typecolumn which doesn't exist in AP 3.6.1printfunction where\nliteral could be used instead.TRANSFER_DOWNLOADED_EPISODESsetting to control if downloaded episodes are copied. Add additional docs to README about this and other flags..gitignoreforpa_to_api/o files and PyCharm IDEI've tested these changes on my own Podcast Addict and AntennaPod apps with a very large database (187 feeds, 442 downloaded episodes) and spot-checked the results. Everything seems to be working apart from the aforementioned issue with in-progress episodes, and I'm not really sure if I can fix that. I think this is OK to merge as-is for now.
