    Default [confirmed] invalid feed (#12) when adding some feeds (boxee.tv)

    Greetings,

    Boxee is the roxee! Incredible job. Very cool software.

    But, I'm trying to add an rss feed via the web site and I keep getting an error: "Invalid Feed (#12)"

    The feed is valid.

    In addition, the site chokes on the error and the page needs to be refreshed. There is no way to dismiss the error message.

    Thanks for any help.

    although earlier the page would just hang. So I am sure they're working on it.

    I tried a feed like this and got the same error message. Then, after trying a few other feeds, I discovered that it seems to not like the way certain feed URLs are formatted. More or less, if the URL is long with many variables, it responds with an error message.

    SOLUTION:
    Grab the feed URL that was throwing the error. Goto TinyURL.com and paste the feed URL into the box. This will create a small URL that Boxee will accept. This new URL will redirect Boxee to the feed you wish to subscribe to.

    This worked for me.

    FYI - I'm just uploading torrent files onto the AppleTV, not trying to use RSS feeds.
