Video support isn't yet available. I've heard mumblings that the devs
are thinking about it now simply because of the level of request.
Podcast support is better than the .10 versions definitely! However,
it doesn't yet put them in the podcast folder unless I missed an
update somewhere. Mike Urbanski seems to be the lone podcast dev, for
the most part. I've heard he's thinking about a rewrite, but
university takes a lot of his time so don't hold your breath. It will
be a nice improvement when it come though. That I'm sure of. The video
capabiblity is behind some significant interface rewrites. that are
being worked on now. I'm not sure what is between the interface and
video, but that might even be a 0.18 feature or 0.2 or something.

That's my latest news on those requests.
