# PowerCasts User Guide v0.21
What's New: add description of VLC support for URLs text-file playback
### 1. Parse OPML PocketCast exported feed
Run `opml_parser_2.py` with your downloaded OPML XML filename as argument to build a JSON with every full-text RSS feed and a text file `podcasts_opml.txt` with all episode URLs:
```python
! python opml_parser_2.py podcasts_opml.xml
```
```python
! ls -lh podcasts_opml.json podcasts_opml.txt
```
-rw-r--r-- 1 dd dd 235M Feb 21 10:12 podcasts_opml.json
-rw-r--r-- 1 dd dd 6.5M Feb 21 10:12 podcasts_opml.txt
#### 1.1. Review all episodes text file
```python
! head -n 5 podcasts_opml.txt
```

https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/ptjkia/Hestene_er_Stille_REMIX.mp3

https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/6pc4f7/21_Roser_afsnit_04_26_46.mp3
```python
! cat podcasts_opml.txt | wc # 76.589 episodes
```
76589 76589 6794807
#### 1.2. Output newest episodes text file
Run `newest.py` to output the newest episodes from all feeds:
```python
! python newest.py podcasts_opml.json > newest.txt
```
#### 1.3. Output HTML links
Run `html_parser.py` with `urls.txt` and `output.htm` arguments:
```python
! ./html_parser.py newest.txt newest.htm
```
Wrote file newest.htm
### 2. Playing podcast episodes with VLC Player
The VLC Player supports playback of URLs in a text-file. That means the file with newest episodes `newest.txt` and all episodes `podcast_opml.txt` can be played by running VLC with the URL to the file, e.g. the URL to the files in this repo (I recommend adding --random for shuffle playback)
$ vlc --random https://raw.githubusercontent.com/taext/powercasts/master/newest.txt
to playback the newest.txt episodes in random order (shuffle) and
$ vlc --random https://raw.githubusercontent.com/taext/powercasts/master/podcasts_opml.txt
to playback `podcasts_opml.txt` with all the episodes.
