I think I am experiencing this same bug. I'm running an updated copy of Ubuntu 8.10 with the proposed repository enabled.
$ dpkg-query -W rhythmbox rhythmbox 0.11.6svn20081008-0ubuntu4.3 The feed I'm experiencing problems is the Science Fiction Book Review Podcast at <http://www.sfbrp.com/?feed=podcast>. It seem worth noting that every episode in this feed has the number sign (#) character in the enclosure URL, as does the download in the error message posted with the original summary. Steps: 1. Add a New Podcast Feed with the url <http://www.sfbrp.com/?feed=podcast>. 2. When Rhythmbox attempts to download the first episode I get an error message titled "Error creating podcast download directory" with the following message: "Unable to create the download directory for file:///home/bdp/Podcasts/Science%20Fiction%20Book%20Review%20Podcast/SFBRP #040 - Fredrick Pohl - Gateway.mp3: Operation not supported" This also happens with other episodes in the same feed. -- cannot create download directory (intrepid) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/289880 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
