[Rhythmbox-devel] Frequent failure to download podcasts

[mike _ <arizonagroovejet gmail com>]

Rhythmbox 3.1. openSUSE 13.2
.

The behaviour I expect is that I launch Rhythmbox and within a few
minutes it's downloaded any new podcast episodes. It frequently fails
to do that. I've no idea why. I've no idea how to start to try and
work out why. Sometimes after I've right clicked on a feed and
selected 'update' N times it'll suddenly decide to download a new
episode.

Often there's an icon next to the feed, like a reload icon. See

The appearance of this seems to be related to failure to download new
episodes. I can't find documentation which explains what the icon
means or why it's there.
