I’m looking for a preferably non-web wrapper podcast player for Windows, that’s preferably also open source. Having a tough time though. Any tips?
Have you tried gpodder? https://gpodder.github.io/
+1 for gpodder, and of you have a Nextcloud, you can sync your subscriptions using an NC plugin that I can’t remember the name of.
I did check it out earlier but feels a bit clunky that it must run the audio stream in a separate program. This means it’ll inherently lack some functions like going back or forward 15 seconds with the press of a button as this is a function mostly inherent to podcast players, not e.g. VLC. Not the biggest issue but still.
KDE Kasts has windows builds
Though I only ever use PocketCasts in my phone
Pocketcasts has a app(read:web wrapper) for Windows if someone has their Plus variant. But sadly, subscription model for podcasts is useless way to go.
Ah see I was grandfathered in as a lifetime member from before it was purchased by NPR and then sold off…
At some point I’ll probably switch to something like AntennaPod, but it’s just such a great UX.
mpv. it plays anything.
Probably not what you want, but BlueStacks might suit. For poddies alone it might not be worth it, but if you have other uses as well it might be worth it. (For example, eBay’s $5 discount for ordering with the app.)
You were thinking about me emulating eg. AntennaPod? Thanks, I’ve used it before but it takes up a lot of resources and feels a bit sluggish
Pocket Casts is great and open source
Not sure what you mean? https://pocketcasts.com/downloads/windows/
Whoops, I just assumed that since I used the web version on Windows, that was the only version available for windows. I had never even checked. Thanks!
