GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 642574
Rhythmbox will not allow me to enter a podcast with email address as username

I am trying to add a podcast into rhythmbox that is password protected with a username and password. The issue is that the username is as email address and Rhythmbox does not seem to support this. I am able to add other password protected podcast by appending the username/password to the URL like "http://username:password@url. This does not seem to work if the username is an email address however.
You probably need to url-encode the username, so it'd look like "http://user%40domain:password/url". Thanks for the bug report.

The url-encoded username did the trick. THANKS!!
