config.js options for podcast

[Raffaele Angius]

Hi everybody, from today I'm the fortunate owner of my own river5 on a brand new server. I've been using it for months thanks to a friend who shared his own server, but it's time to grow and to learn new things! So my first noob question is: to make river5 not downloading any podcast am I supposed to "nano config.js" and to add

"flDownloadPodcasts": false

in it, right?

So it would be like:

{
    "maxRiverItems": 300,
    "flDownloadPodcasts": false

    "homePage": {
        "panels": [
            {
                "title": "Main",
                "river": "myOpmlFeeds.js"
                },
            {
                "title": "NYT",
                "river": "nyt.js"
                },
            {
                "title": "Hacker News",
                "river": "hn.js"
                }
            ]
        }
}

I'm sorry if this sounds like a dumb question, but it's my first moves in this field!

First, it's not a dumb question. :-)

Second, yes that's correct, but you'd better put a comma at the end of the line you added, or it won't be valid JSON, and it won't work if it's not valid. 

I added the comma below. 

{
    "maxRiverItems": 300,
    "flDownloadPodcasts": false,

    "homePage": { 
        "panels": [
            {
                "title": "Main",
                "river": "myOpmlFeeds.js"
                },
            {
                "title": "NYT",
                "river": "nyt.js"
                },
            {
                "title": "Hacker News",
                "river": "hn.js"
                }
            ]
        }
}

You can check the validity of the JSON by using a syntax checker like https://jsonlint.com/.
