Newbie: Trouble with a certain podcast URL

New postby Pasqual on Thu Feb 12, 2009 12:44 pm

Hi all, I just installed Podtrapper on my Bberry Bold and it is awesome. I have never accessed podcasts before today, nor did I ever care to, but I just found out that National Public Radio has podcasts of nearly all their shows and I don't get a good signal for a local NPR station on my radio. I did a quick Google for "Bberry podcasts" and here I am. I must say that this is an awesome application and I had no issues setting up my first 5 podcast subscriptions through the search/browse feature (An excellent feature at that!) BUT I did have issues adding the URL for the podcast for "This American Life" (http://feeds.thisamericanlife.org/talpodcast) I was hoping that someone else out there already subscribes to this great show, or could do me a favor and try it to see if you have any issues with this URL??? I did a test with entering a URL for another podcast and it worked fine, so maybe the This american Life website is broke, but I can't be sure until someone else tries it. Thank You

I think you'll want this version:

http://feeds.thisamericanlife.org/talpodcast?format=xml

That seems to be the link that outputs to xml. Gahoo, is that the full url you're using, or is it indeed working with the other one? I'd be interested in seeing if it does, there may be something I'm missing.

When I select edit podcast it shows http://feeds.thisamericanlife.org/talpodcast.

I am having the exact same problem with This American Life, i tried both of the URLs suggested above, but neither of them download the podcast. Please help if you can!

I can confirm that Podtrapper handles http://feeds.thisamericanlife.org/talpodcast just fine.

Not sure how much detail is in the logs, but try updating the podcast and then send your logs to Marcus (email developer from PT menu, and select "yes" when prompted to attach logs).

:) I actually got the 'copy settings' podcast thingy done today, and a bunch of bug fixes. I think I figured out a good way to do the multiple playlist thing too, hoping to get that in this weekend.
