So I like the doubletwist android player, but the desktop app fails to work on my computer.
I was wondering if anyone uses DoubleTwist for syncing podcasts and if so could you let me know what folder structure the doubletwist app uses for podcasts. My plan is to manually transfer my downloaded podcasts on to my phone, but since I was never able to get the doubletwist app running on my computer, I don't know what folder structure it uses for podcasts.
I would start by finding out where the application that recorded the podcast stores them and I would find out the file format it stores them in and whether or not they were digitally rights managed.
Armed with all this information and a simple search of the host (PC/Laptop) file system translates into select all cut/copy paste
Or delete all dirty software waste.
I'm sure you could also invert the search and google your sd card instead of your host system for similar media. Beware. Most windows users generally have no idea about the mechanisms involved in hiding files from an elementary search in a unix like environment.

I think my question wasn't clear.
What I need to know is what folder structure the doubletwist android app uses. I have no problem finding the files on my system and transferring them to my phone, but unless I know what type of folder structure to create, the doubletwist app won't see these files as podcasts.
I guess what you're saying is a podcast is like any other media file. I don't have double twist but I can tell you that inspection is the best answer. Explore the double twist folder on your sd card. Take notes of what you see. Acquire a new podcast using the double twist app. Go back to the sd card and compare your notes.
I'm sorry if I'm no help.

The problem is that the doubletwist app on the phone doesn't create a folder structure on your SD card. It relies on the desktop app to do that, so if you're unable to run the desktop app there is now way to know what folder structure its looking for (since the phone app won't create it)
Anyway, I managed to guess it. I created a folder /Podcasts in the /Music folder. Then inside the podcast folder I created another folder for each podcast and moved the individual m4a's into those folders.

Well done!

Looks like I spoke too soon. That method only partially works. It allows doubletwist to see the files as podcasts (which in turn lets you browse them through doubletwists's podcast section) but it doesn't split the podcasts up. The subfolders are ignored and all podcasts get lumped under a category called other.
At this point I'm convinced there is also some configuration file I need to create.
Have you tried latest windows version of the program? If so it seems you need to contact the developer/support!
I would probly explain what happened when u tried manual correction and also suggest a less complicated app framework!
*edit: on second thought, it seems like most java developers just aren't happy if it isn't complicated!

So after exploring a little more I realized the app has it's on db. At first I thought it just read the contents of the sd card (since it picked up all the m3u's and was able to play them without issue) but after exploring it's db I realized it created it's own internal playlists in it's db (which mirrored my m3u's).
I'm just going to move on to my plan b which is automatically creating m3u files out of the most recent podcast episodes and using songbird to sync those.
I'm sure somebody out there would appreciate a step by step guide!

It's pretty easy to do with songbird.
First you need a podcatcher app to grab all your podcast episodes and to dump them into a folder within your music folder.
Then, in songbird, you create a smart playlist using file location as the criteria (you need to make sure each podcast has series has it's own folder for this to work). In songbird the playlist can be limited to x amount of items and that filter can be imposed by various criteria including date added (which would in effect limit the list to the x most recent files).
Then simply sync that playlist to phone as you would any other playlist.
Missing are access to program folders including torrent folders where i've download videos and music on my phone and now am unable to transfer to my pc. Unlike the s4 and s2 which I've previously own, I cant access a ton of folders in the Nexus 5, Is this by design or is there something wrong with my connection. If by design is there a way to bypass it.
Hello, I was wondering if there is a way to transfer whole albums from my android phone (LG G4) to my Windows PC. I use Google Photos as my app for managing images and creating albums within the app, but when I connect my phone to my PC via usb, I no longer see the albums but all the images mixed up. I figured there must be an app (diferent to google photos) which will allow me to do this. Do you know any? Or any other way to do this?
Thank you!
I just use seperate folders and Syncthing, it's open source too and works really well

MediaProvider module | Android Open Source Project
source.android.com
The Android Media Provider is responsible for scanning the device's internal storage and external storage (such as an SD card) for media files. It then indexes those files and makes them available for other apps to access via the MediaStore API. The indexed files include audio, images and video files. It also provides functionality such as thumbnails generation, metadata extraction, and cloud uploads.
