Bugzilla – Bug 4525
Podcast-xml with enclosing url starting with "Http" instead of "http" fails to play

Not sure if this is a problem with the Podcast plugin or the playlist system. It should be easy to fix though. When adding some podcasts from "Danmarks Radio" (the Danish version of BBC), such as http://podcast.dr.dk/p2/rssfeed/filmland_radio.xml, the player fails to play them with the message "Playlist empty". The reason for this is that the xml contains: <enclosure url="Http://podcast.dr.dk/P2/Filmland/2006/filmland_281006.mp3" length="81963720" type="audio/mpeg" /> If I change this to: <enclosure url="http://podcast.dr.dk/P2/Filmland/2006/filmland_281006.mp3" length="81963720" type="audio/mpeg" /> and save the file where slimserver can reach it everything works. So it fails to read the url if the protocol (http) is "miscapitalized".
Steven, pls try to reproduce
Created attachment 1804 [details] xml with "Http" address
I experience the same behavior that Anders described. I also experience the same behavior using "Tune In URL" function. For example entering "Http://podcast.dr.dk/P2/filmland/2006/fr_061202.mp3" into the "Radio URL" dialog and pressing the "Tune In" button will result in "Playlist Empty" on the Squeezebox display. Changing to "http://podcast.dr.dk/P2/filmland/2006/fr_061202.mp3" will play normally. Chris, since this is actually a typo of the URL link would this be an enhancemnet?
Andy and/or Dan, would there be a reason not to accept Http:// as well as http:// ?
No reason at all, I'll fix it.
Fixed in change 11358, will be in 6.5.2.
Fixed in 6.5.2, which is now released and available for download at http://www.slimdevices.com/su_downloads.html If you're still experiencing this bug, please re-open it!
