[![Get it from Flathub!](https://flathub.org/assets/badges/flathub-badge-en.svg)](https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.gnome.Podcasts)

## Quick start

GNOME Podcasts can be built and run with [GNOME Builder][builder] >= 3.28.
You can get Builder from [here][get_builder].

You will also need to install the rust-stable extension from flathub.

```sh
flatpak install --user flathub org.freedesktop.Sdk.Extension.rust-stable//20.08
```

Then from Builder, just clone the repo and hit the run button!

## Broken Feeds

Please [open an issue][new_issue] and choose the `BrokenFeed` template so we will know and fix it!

## Getting in Touch

If you have any questions regarding the use or development of GNOME Podcasts,
want to discuss design or simply hang out, please join us on our [irc][irc] or [matrix][matrix] channel.

## Building

### Flatpak

Flatpak is the recommended way of building and installing GNOME Podcasts.
Here are the dependencies you will need.

```sh
# Add flathub and the gnome-nightly repo
flatpak remote-add --user --if-not-exists flathub https://dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
flatpak remote-add --user --if-not-exists gnome-nightly https://nightly.gnome.org/gnome-nightly.flatpakrepo

# Install the gnome-nightly Sdk and Platform runtime
flatpak install --user gnome-nightly org.gnome.Sdk org.gnome.Platform

# Install the required rust-stable extension from flathub
flatpak install --user flathub org.freedesktop.Sdk.Extension.rust-stable//20.08
```

To install the resulting flatpak you can do:

```bash
flatpak-builder --user --install --force-clean --repo=repo podcasts org.gnome.Podcasts.Devel.json
```

### Building from source

```sh
git clone https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/podcasts.git
cd gnome-podcasts/
meson --prefix=/usr build
ninja -C build
sudo ninja -C build install
```

#### Dependencies

* Rust stable 1.34 or later along with cargo.
* Gtk+ 3.24.11 or later
* Gstreamer 1.16 or later
* libhandy 0.0.11 or later
* Meson
* A network connection

Offline build are possible too, but [`cargo-vendor`][vendor] would have to be setup first

## A note about the project's name

The project used to be called Hammond, after Allan Moore's character [Evey Hammond][hammond] from the graphic novel V for Vendetta.
It was renamed to GNOME Podcasts on 2018/07/24 shortly before its first public release.

## Acknowledgments

GNOME Podcasts's design is heavily inspired by [GNOME Music][music] and [Vocal][vocal].

We also copied some elements from [GNOME News][news].

And almost the entirety of the build system is copied from the [Fractal][fractal] project.
