Rhythmbox-0.10.0 unable to parse podcast feed URL
Last modified: 2007-06-30 09:40:34 UTC
Please describe the problem: First reported on Launchpad : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/114846 Specifically, the Google Code Podcast URL does not work: http://google-code-updates.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default/-/podcast I don't k now of any other blogspot-hosted podcasts with which to try. Possibly this is a problem with the feeds generated by blogger? Steps to reproduce: 1. Open dialog "Create new Podcast". 2. Enter the URL quoted before. Actual results: Getting the following message : Error in podcast There was a problem adding this podcast. Please verify the URL: http://google-code-updates.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default/-/podcast Expected results: The feed to be added. Does this happen every time? Yes. Other information: Relevant output from `rhythmbox -d`: (09:17:38) [0x873eda8] [rb_podcast_parser_start_element] rb-podcast-parse.c:221: Start element: feed state: 0 (09:17:38) [0x873eda8] [rb_podcast_parser_start_element] rb-podcast-parse.c:221: Start element: id state: 0 (09:17:38) [0x873eda8] [rb_podcast_parser_end_element] rb-podcast-parse.c:328: End element: id state: 0 (09:17:38) [0x873eda8] [rb_podcast_parser_end_element] rb-podcast-parse.c:332: Unknown element This goes on with title, link, author, name, etc.
It has also been reported (in the comments of the launchpad bug) that the same error occurs with : http://feeds.feedburner.com/TheLinuxActionShowOGG and its mp3 version.
Rhythmbox, for me, complains about "wrong url" every time that I write an URI without the trailing "podcast.xml". For instance, adding "http://www.padrepauloricardo.org/podcast/" doesn't work, however, I can get the podcast properly setting the podcast url to http://www.padrepauloricardo.org/podcast/podcast.xml
http://www.padrepauloricardo.org/podcast/ does not point to the podcast feed, it points to a HTML page. I don't see any way to automatically determine the podcast feed URL from that page.
http://feeds.feedburner.com/TheLinuxActionShowOGG works fine for me, and for a commenter on the launchpad bug, so any issue there appears to have been fixed. Please open a separate bug if there continue to be problems with this feed. http://google-code-updates.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default/-/podcast is an atom feed, which we don't currently support. Bug 355984 is about adding atom support. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 355984 ***
