GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 791154
rss feed only downloads image, no audio
Last modified: 2018-05-04 18:31:13 UTC
all KQED feeds -- which have an image within the feed can't download audio. They only get the image. The rss use to work before Ubuntu update. http://www.kqed.org/community/rss/ https://ww2.kqed.org/news/tag/tcrarchive/feed/podcast https://ww2.kqed.org/perspectives/feed/podcast/ Also, their feed work using other software. I contacted them, but they are suggesting to use other software.
totem-pl-parser is responsible for extracting urls from rss feeds, so I'm moving this bug there. possibly checking the 'medium' attribute on the media:content tag would help? <media:content url="https://ww2.kqed.org/perspectives/wp-content/uploads/sites/44/2017/02/Peter-Gavin-New-800x800.jpg" medium="image" height="1920" width="1920">

commit 686b64f9eba5e80ef8d53ca3041ae48c88b96b5a Author: Bastien Nocera <hadess@hadess.net> Date: Mon Dec 4 15:55:39 2017 +0100 podcast: Add support for "medium" property The medium property, similarly to the "type" property allows to define the type of additional resources, such as whether they are images or audio. This caused problems with KQED podcast feeds as we did not handle that property, and tried to use the image as the audio source. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=791154 Before: ** Message: Started playlist "file:///home/hadess/Projects/jhbuild/totem-pl-parser/plparse/tests/791154-kqed.rss"... ** Message: title = 'KQED’s The California Report' ** Message: language = 'en-US' ** Message: description = 'KQED Public Media for Northern CA' ** Message: author = 'KQED' ** Message: copyright = 'Copyright © 2017 KQED Inc.

I am running Rhythmbox 3.4.1-2ubuntu5. It is still not downloading the feeds. Was there an update to the code for me to check? Sorry - had to drop the problem, life in Ojai and had to evacuate from the fire.
Created attachment 365474 [details] rss parsing problem -- png instead of mp3 file shows how somehow the Rhythmbox gets the png image file instead of the mp3 audio file.
You'll need to ask your distribution to include this fix in their version.
How would I go about "asking my distribution to include this fix"? I am running Ubuntu 17.10. Thank you.
@nat, open a bug on launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/totem-pl-parser) describing the issue and requesting the commit to be backported
I reported the bug on launchpad.net -- this is the link: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/totem-pl-parser/+bug/1738110

Fedora is still not up to date. Where are latest source and RPMs? (Embarrassed to show my ignorance.)

Is it practical for people other than Gnome developers to compile totem-pl-parser, or will compiling it require recompiling most of Gnome? Thanks for the quick reply.
