Podcast problems

[porkbone 41]

I have been having problems lately with a bunch of my podcast feeds. It seems if the link ends with "xml", then there are no problems and podcasts work great. If I try to add back in a podcast that used to work, but ends with rss, I get a non-descript error notification - sometimes.

 

This is really frustrating since #1 - the error notification does not identify the bad link by name. I had about 35 video and audio podcasts in total, but started suddenly getting error notifications about podcasts and had to remove them one by one to find the bad podcasts. I lost 26 podcasts, but the links for them are still working in my browser.  Please. I'm begging - please identify by name in the error notification!

 

#2 - If an error notification is generated for any one podcast, all podcasts are now no longer accessable. MBC will show No Items and the dashboard pops up a white box error "Block length does not match with its complement".  Is it possible to fix so if one fails, I can still access the rest?

for an example if you want to try this, here is a link to a comedy audio podcast that works, but no longer within MB3:  http://youmadeitweird.libsyn.com/rss

 

I can upload a log file, but I would have to add in the problematic rss links first - if you need one.

 

Thanks for your time!

I've seen this error too, specifically with the Dirtbag Diaries podcast.

was starting to feel neglected... glad someone else has seen this. was starting to think I might have to wipe and reload the OS before going further.

 

No one is going to touch this until we upload a log file, but the problem is that the error can be random. I can load the podcast, run a channel download scan and it will complete. I can even play it, but usually sometime later, it will fail.  When I have more time I will upload some logs - too busy atm.

 

thanks, fuzzy11287

The Podcasts plugin has been updated with a new configuration screen to match the look and feel of the rest of Emby Server. I think you'll find it much more enjoyable to use and configure now. Thanks.
