gPodder Extension for Spotify

The goal is to be able to add podcasts on Spotify to gPodder. Downloading the episodes will not be possible, but being notified of new episodes.

2. Create a Spotify account if you don't have one.
3. Create an application entry on: https://developer.spotify.com/dashboard/applications
4. From your application copy the Client ID and Client Secret and assign them in spotify.py to the variables SPOTIFY_CLIENT_ID and SPOTIFY_CLIENT_SECRET respectively.

Uninstall

1. Remove the file spotify.py from $HOME/gPodder/Extensions/.

TODO

• Load all episodes of a show, not just the last 50
  • The show info response contains the total number of episodes as "total"
• Login window: Close after success, show message
• "gtk-open" in context menu should not mark an episode as played (remove entry altogether?)
• Test again with gPodder 3.10.16
