NAME

       gpo - Text mode interface of gPodder

SYNOPSIS

       gpo [--verbose|-v] [COMMAND] [params...]

DESCRIPTION

       gpo  is  the  text  mode  interface  of gPodder. Run it without any arguments to start the
       interactive shell (see below). Use "gpo help" to get a list of supported commands.

       gpo can be used to manage podcasts from the command line without having to start  gPodder.
       It can also be used to automate tasks such as downloading or updating feeds.

       The database and files are the same as used by gpodder(1).

INTERACTIVE SHELL MODE

       If you run "gpo" without COMMAND it will enter its interactive shell mode. From there, you
       can type commands directly. When readline is available,  this  shell  supports  completion
       using  <Tab>.  Podcast  feed  URLs  are also completed for commands that take the URL of a
       podcast as argument.

       Some commands (e.g. search and toplist) will provide a query in interactive shell mode (to
       subscribe  to  podcasts).  These  queries will not be shown when started directly from the
       command line.

COMMAND PREFIXES

       For all commands, you can use only the first few characters instead of the  full  command,
       as  long as the command is unique. If not, gpo will show you all matching commands and the
       shortest prefix of each.

       Please note that future additions to the command set could change the shortest  prefix  of
       any  given  command, so usage of the full command in scripts is recommended (e.g. use "gpo
       update" and not "gpo up" in scripts and cronjobs).  The short command prefixes are  mostly
       useful for interactive usage.

EXAMPLES

       gpo
           Enter interactive shell mode

       gpo update && gpo download
           Check for new episodes, then download all new episodes

       gpo search linux outlaws
           Search the directory for podcasts named "linux outlaws"

       gpo youtube http://youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0
           Print download URL of a YouTube video to stdout

       gpo webui
           Start a web server serving the gPodder Web UI on localhost

       gpo pipe
           Start  in  pipe  mode  (useful  for GUI frontends that want to use the gpodder backend
           using a JSON-esque request/response protocol)
