RSS video error

[yiolepotier]

Hi,
The video Rss is not working. Boxee is trying to get the .flv file but come back on the file list. This is a valid video rss properly working with Miro.
feed://www.vosflux.tv/emission/46/rss
any idea?

I'm having a similar issue with this feed:
http://engineeringtv.com/blogs/MainFeed.aspx

Boxee accepts the feed as valid, but comes up with an empty file list.

That are no embedded video files in that feed - just images.

Its a valid video feed, but the server is detecting that you havent been referred from a valid site and hence is blocking the files.

try opening the rss in a browser and clicking on one of the flv links.

RSS feeds sure seem to be tricky. About half the feeds I've tried don't work. I pretty much expect that with anything I add at this point. I think the fault may lie with a lot of things - outdated feed links, content server changes, RSS configured differently than Boxee expects, etc.

I dont think its that complicated.

All RSS feeds with embedded video content should add and play fine.

One exception that I am aware of is that app.boxee.tv does not allow you to add the feed (error -12) if the feed description contains certain punctuation such as an apostrophe).

Most complaints about feeds not working are because the feed is not a feed with embedded media.
