Description of problem: When trying to add podcast feed, it displays an error message Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rhythmbox-0.9.3.1-3 How reproducible: 1. Activate context menu on "Podcasts" in Rhythmbox left pane 2. Select "New Podcast Feed" menu item. 3. Enter "http://linuxuser.thepodcastnetwork.com/feed/" as Podcast feed. 3. Click on "Add" button. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: -- begin message box -- Error in podcast There was a problem adding this podcast. Please verify the URL: http://linuxuser.thepodcastnetwork.com/feed/ -- end message box -- Expected results: Podcast should be added into the library. Additional info: When added podcast at "http://leoville.tv/podcasts/sn.xml" (redirected from "http://leo.am/podcasts/sn"), it gets added. But on playing, a segmentation fault occured. I noticed both the feeds and found that "http://leoville.tv/podcasts/sn.xml" feed contains some iTunes specific tags. So, is Rhythmbox expecting this ??
Works fine here. Could you please check whether the same thing occurs with Rhythmbox 0.9.6 that was uploaded to the FC6 updates recently? (Multimedia stuff moves quickly, and it would be better using the latest distribution to use Rhythmbox properly).
Created attachment 147006 [details] Wireshark Capture of Rhythmbox
I'm running Rhythmbox 0.9.7 in Fedora Core 6 (amd64). When trying to add this "http://linuxuser.thepodcastnetwork.com/feed/" podcast I got this error: -- begin error -- "There was a problem adding this podcast. Please verify the URL: http://linuxuser.thepodcastnetwork.com/feed/" -- end error -- Whereas, I played the same podcast in amaroK, and there it played fine. I've sumbitted the network packet capture of the packet when I added podcast feed to my rhythmbox. It seems rhythmbox initiated the connection reset, without receiving the complete podcast feed. BtW, I'm running on 128 Kbps ADSL connection.
There's problem indeed: $ gnomevfs-cat http://linuxuser.thepodcastnetwork.com/feed/ > foo $ wc -l foo 1338 foo $ wget http://linuxuser.thepodcastnetwork.com/feed/ $ wc -l index.html 2157 index.html The following program fails as well: ---8<-- #include <glib.h> #include <libgnomevfs/gnome-vfs.h> #define URL "http://linuxuser.thepodcastnetwork.com/feed/" int main (int argc, char **argv) { char *contents; int file_size; if (!gnome_vfs_init ()) return 1; if (gnome_vfs_read_entire_file (URL, &file_size, &contents) != GNOME_VFS_OK) { g_warning ("Couldn't read data from \"%s\"", URL); return 1; } g_message ("Read %d bytes from \"%s\"", URL); return 0; } ---8<-- $ ./test ** (process:14240): WARNING **: Couldn't read data from "http://linuxuser.thepodcastnetwork.com/feed/" Looks like a gnome-vfs bug.
Works fine in svn trunk of gnome-vfs, probably a neon/gnome-vfs bug, CC:'ing Joe.
A stock neon can process the GET response from that URL fine, I'd guess this is either a gnome-vfs problem or some issue in the patched copy of neon bundled in gnome-vfs.
