Create a local folder in the TermCast root called termcast_sources. This folder should contain the files sources.json and listen_time.json. An example file for each of these is included. example_listen_time.json can be copied directly into the folder as is. example_sources.json can be edited with your list of RSS feeds and then copied into the folder. Make sure to rename these to sources.json and listen_time.json. In the file config.json change source_type to "local" instead of "git".
Create a personal git repository called termcast_sources. Clone this repository into the TermCast root. Follow the instructions above and commit the files to your repository. Leave the source_type as "git" in config.json. If you change your sources, push the changes to the repository. At launch, TermCast will download the latest source list and listen times. When finished listening, changes to listen times will be pushed to the repository.
The player can be run with
poetry run python main.py
The player can be navigated by either keyboard or mouse. On keyboard, the arrow keys can be used to navigate within a widget and tab will switch between widgets.
