Description James Richardson 2009-09-10 09:15:43 UTC
When playing Podcast Alley '10 newest' via SC 7.3.3 when connected to MySB.com, I noticed the attached error box.

None of the items there are able to play, I get a 'bump' when selecting them.

The other Podcast Alley selections work fine, it's just the "10 newest" that fail

Their feed is messed up, not our bug.
Comment 3 James Richardson 2009-09-11 09:37:05 UTC
Seth:  IMHO it is our problem, someone needs to tell them (the service provider) that the feed is messed up. OR, we should remove the feed as an option until it is fixed. I'm going to reopen the bug, and assign it to Seth so he can contact them.

Andy: Please REMOVE this option until such time as it has been fixed, leaving a broken link there will create a bad user experience.

Why do we even care about this service.  Let's just kill it and people can use Mediafly.

Mediafly."

podcast alley failing is not a blocker.  however we should TEMPORARILY disable the service until the provider fixes its feed or we make a thoughtful decision to drop it.

Also, such an approach is appropriate for any bug that is due to the service provider.  Bugs we introduce that break an otherwise good service is up to us to fix.
