Podcasts don't load for SWR3 (German Radio)[BUG# 4432]

[tobbbie]

Dear MM team,

the podcasts of SWR3 don't load in MM, while they do in other podcatchers. Examples:
http://www.swr3.de/rss/SWR3-Gag_20des_2 ... /index.xml
http://www.swr3.de/rss/Peter_20Ged_C3_B ... /index.xml

Sad this was reported in the German forum already months ago and no solution so far
I have even stepped back from IE8 to IE7 (which I both don't use, but FF 3.5.1) without any success.

please help,

bye
tobbbie


P.S.: MM 3.1.0.1256 Gold-lifetime

Hello,
I am really new to Mediamonkey.
So far I really like the program and of cause the fact, that Mediamonkey provides me
with every freedom to import and export all the information I entered in long hours.

Though I have a problem with some Podcasts.
The podcasts from the integrated Sources Digital Podcast and podcast.comare work just fine, but when I try
to load some podcasts from a german public radio-station, no entries will be found.

In Itunes, the feeds work fine.I even exported the podcast from ITunes via an OPML-file.
But that did not help.

one example for such an address is
http://www.swr3.de/rss/Das_20SWR3-Topth ... /index.xml

I will not post the complete xml-file here, just the heading and the first item in a abridged version.

If someone could give me a hint, what I am doing wrong here, I would be very grateful.

Thanks in advance Georg

Ludek fixed the issue and it will be included in next Release (most likely an bugfix release build .1257)

Than you for making MediaMonkey better.

I'm having a similar problem. Many podcasts feeds now show that there haven't been any new episodes since December 2008, but when I check their feeds in iTunes or online, there are actually many new episodes. Also some podcast feeds I find online whose episodes are just regular mp3's give me a message in MM3.1.1256 that they're in an unsupported file type. Obviously this is not the case. Oh, and a third problem, long leftover from previous builds - when I try to manually subscribe to a podcast (ie entering the url into MM's add podcast feature), the program completely freezes and I eventually have to close it from the taskmanager.

Anyone else having these strange podcast issues?

Post some of the feed urls.
