Title: xml feed
Post by: Zathras on December 29, 2008, 07:03:22 AM

Is there something wrong with the xml feed?  My podcatcher isn't finding any episodes, even though there is one for each of the three casts.

Thanks, I'll check it later today if I ever get any sleep.  Fraggin' cold!  I've been using the same podcatcher all year.  My brain is too fuzzy to mess with it right now.  Wonder if using my home network instead of Sprint air card is messing with my catcher.  Will worry about it later.

For what it's worth I'm still waiting for the EP Christmas ep, and I just realised I haven't seen the other two casts for a while either. I too use the non-iTunes feed. So I'm guessing it's a problem at the EA end.

I have this happen to different podcasts from time to time.  I unsubscribe and then re-subscribe and all continues as normal.

There seems to be a new address for the feed.

I followed Russel's advice and unsubscribed and subscribed again.  All is working now.  I'm still fighting a fairly nasty bout of congestion, so I wasn't going to mess with it yet.

It doesn't seem to be an address change.  If it was, everyone would have this problem.  I just like to think that sometimes the podcatchers get confused.

Mine must've gotten confused.  I had nothing at all like:  feedproxy.google.com anywhere in my catcher.  It works now, so it's all good.

Thanks for posting that, Zathras! I hadn't even noticed that my feeds weren't working.

Zathras is right: the 'old' feeds stopped working. I had these feeds in my RSS reader:
http://feeds.pseudopod.org/Pseudopod
http://feeds.escapeartists.net/PodCastle_Main
http://feeds.escapepod.org/EscapePod

I guess these are inactive now? I updated my reader with the google-rss links, I'm all up-to-date again :)

Then what are the new addresses? These are links on the respective sites, and they're the ones I have in my software.

http://feedproxy.google.com/EscapePod

http://feedproxy.google.com/PodCastle_Main

http://feedproxy.google.com/Pseudopod

These are the ones I have in my catcher now.

Not sure how long the old server is going to be up, but there seems to be a configuration problem:

Code: [Select]

>telnet feeds.escapepod.org 80
GET /EscapePod HTTP/1.1
If-Modified-Since: Wed, 17 Dec 2008 14:33:16 GMT
Host: feeds.escapepod.org

HTTP/1.1 304 Not Modified

So readers that try and be nice get screwed!
