Podcast compatibility

[kamakamadaun 6]

Hi. I am having some trouble with the podcast plugin.

What format of podcasts is the plugin supposed to support?

 

I tried all the following:

• http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/Computerphile/uploads
• http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/base/users/Computerphile/uploads
• http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/mobile/users/Computerphile/uploads
• http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?EnterVideoFIlter=&YouTubeUsername=Computerphile&_id=fa7cd649be5345f886b49e52ec9c51b8&_render=rss&itemLimit=20

All seem to produce valid rss that work in other readers. For the first 3 no videos are added. For the last the videos are added but I get errors like:

And the videos cannot be played. A feed like http://www.npr.org/rss/podcast.php?id=510289 works though.

 

I also tried to go through feedburner but I couldn't for the life of me find a set of settings that would make the plugin like it.

 

 

 

EDIT: OK I found several feedburner examples that work: http://feeds.feedburner.com/WhatTheTechvideo and http://feeds.feedburner.com/TedtalksHD?format=xml. So I guess the question becomes: What is the right settings for getting the feed to work with feedburner?

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.
