Description Spies Steven 2008-12-11 08:35:16 UTC
This podcast can be successfully entered and browsed in both SC and SN.  However attempting to play one of the podcast results in "Error: No items found in playlist"  The podcasts appear to be standard mp3 files.
Comment 1 James Richardson 2008-12-15 10:38:55 UTC
Andy to investigate

I have the same behavior with podcasts from the Dutch national broadcasters.

The podcasts did work when I just had bought my boom in September 2008. I don't remember after which software update the podcasts stopped working.

I have a boom with Squeezecenter 7.3.2 on an Ubuntu server.
Comment 3 Chris Owens 2009-03-30 17:31:15 UTC
Since there's now a planned 7.3.3 release, bugs which won't make the cut-off are being moved to the next target out.  If you feel that this bug needs to be addressed more (or less) urgently than the 7.4 release, please cc chris@slimdevices.com and leave a comment in the bug to that effect so we can review it.

Thanks.
Comment 4 Chris Owens 2009-03-31 08:53:39 UTC
For some reason Bugzilla did not change the target when I did this yesterday.  Or maybe it was me.  In either case, I'm trying it again.
Comment 5 Andy Grundman 2009-07-29 14:58:52 UTC
Moving 7.4 bugs to 8.0.

I am trying to listen to a podcast feed from www.planetary.org/rss/podcast.xml
I can see the episodes in the webui and on my players, but when I try to play a podcast it times out and I get the following message in the log:

Comment 7 Kim Mølgaard 2011-04-06 10:43:17 UTC
(In reply to comment #6)

I think that somewhere the Squeezebox Server get the content-type wrong for the mp3 stream, but I am uncertain if this is an issue with the stream or with squeezebox. I do however have no issues playing the podcast from Rhytmbox or Google Listen on Android.

Well, we don't know what to do with application/itunes, it should be audio/mpeg.

Yes I have found out that it is the content provider that is reporting the application/itunes type, and that it should be audio/mpeg, but both Google Listen and RhytmBox can cope with this, perhaps a solution would be to fall back to the extension of the file, when encountering an application/itunes type ?
