Can't add spanishpod podcast feed

[Wouter Stomp]

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

When I try to add the podcast feed at http://spanishpod.com/lessons/feed/ nothing happens. No feed appears, but no error message either. In gpodder it can be added withouth problems, so rhythmbox should probably be able to add it too.

Thank you for taking your time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please provide the following information:

1) which release of Ubuntu you are using
2) which version of the package you are using
3) is there any output if you run rhythmbox from a terminal? If so, please add it here, too.
4) are there any recent crash reports for rhythmbox in /var/crash? If so, please report them via apport and post the new bug ID here

Thanks,

Ubuntu hardy, rhythmbox 0.11.4.90-0ubuntu1. There is no output on the terminal and no crash reports.

Marking as confirmed, adding the given URL fails with the following messages in rhythmbox' debug mode.

I'll report this bug upstream.

fixed upstream, thanks for reporting.

[Kjell Braden (afflux)]

Upstream committed a fix, a debdiff is attached. The fix is working for me.

[Wouter Stomp (wouterstomp-deactivatedaccount)]

Wow, that is fast! Thanks.

[Wouter Stomp (wouterstomp-deactivatedaccount)]

Aside from this fix, rhythmbox should also not fail silently, but give a sensible error message instead when something like this happens.

Sébastien: can you please take a look at it?

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

that's not something worth backporting, we will get the fix in the next tarball before hardy, unsubscribing the sponsors

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package totem-pl-parser - 2.22.2-0ubuntu1

---------------
totem-pl-parser (2.22.2-0ubuntu1) hardy; urgency=low

  * Sync on debian and new upstream version:
    - Add support for feed:// URLs as used by Firefox 3
    - Work-around for feeds with a linefeed straight after "<rss" (lp: #202982)
