Some podcasts using bandwidth
0%
Description
I have noticed that some podcasts (passed to audacious from gpodder) show a URL in the File Path column instead of the local file's location on my hard drive.
For example the latest Guardian Science Weekly shows as https://flex.acast.com/audio.guim.co.uk/2019/01/02-44826-gnl.sci.190104.ms.supervolcano_dinosaur.mp3
I have also noticed that when I play it it starts to use my bandwidth, and when I disconnect my network it stops playing!
This is not what I expect from a podcast, I've downloaded it once already. Can anything be done to prevent this unwelcome behaviour?

Updated by I tried opening the file directly in audacious and it works as I expect with no network activity, so I guess the problem lies with gpodder? Anyone know what is going on here?

I took a look at gpodder. In the preferences the audio player command is set to 'audacious %U'. I removed the '%U' and problem solved.

That's bizarre. Glad you found a solution.
