Hello,

I just reinstalled an image of my system and programs partitions, and my podcast receiver (Juice 2.2) doesn't start any more. Since I work with audio files from radios, this is annoying.

The error log is :

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "gui.py", line 4, in ?
File "iPodderGui.pyc", line 3573, in main
File "ipodder\configuration.pyc", line 468, in __init__
File "os.pyc", line 154, in makedirs
OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied

os.pyc is included in an archive named library.zip, situated in the installation folder. I don't know how to unlock this permission.

I have WIN XP Pro SP2, ZoneAlarm Pro, BitDefender 2008. I tried deactivating the latter two, with no effect.

Thanks for your help !

Once it happened to me when I disconnected the external hard drive when all the podcasts were supposed to be stored. After I connected the drive juice worked.

Another day I deleted the file:
C:\Documents and Settings\[user name]\Application Data\iPodder\ipodder.cfg.

When you delete iPodder.db then you will have to go through the podcasts and update the links and how the are downloaded

Another day I had to use a totally new copy of juice for it to work.

Hi,
Deleting both .cfg and .db files did the job. As often, I should have thought of it alone...
Many thanks for answering this old and still pending question !

You are very welcome. It is my first post on the forum and the first time I managed to help someone, so I appreciate the feedback. Please follow up on the post if you come up with more elegant solution.

By the way, WinAmp also has podcast service and it is for free, so you may want to try that. I am not sure about the current version but previous versions actually work as portable software after you install it once - just copy the whole folder with winamp application and run winamp.exe

Good luck,
Andrew

Please follow up on the post if you come up with more elegant solution. --> I certainly will.

WinAmp also has podcast service --> Well, I seem to reckon Juice is slimmer for my slow machine : just one function.

Thanks anyway, have a good day.
