Bug Description
When adding a RSS feed forexample from vimeo.com (one can subscribe via RSS to ever vimeo user to get his videos - RSS link can be found on the left side of an user profile , just beneath the FOLLOWING section) Vocal shows a message "Error Adding Podcast" "Please check that the feed is correct and that you have a network connection." no feed is added to Vocal.
Worth noting that I'm on Fedora 22.
When run from the terminal, the output is:
_LOG_LEVEL_WARN 10:07:43.965040] MainWindow.
[_LOG_LEVEL_INFO 10:07:45.890822] MPRIS.vala:116: name acquired
[_LOG_LEVEL_INFO 10:07:54.547741] Library.vala:311: Adding podcast from file: https:/

[_LOG_LEVEL_INFO 10:07:54.548102] Library.vala:317: New podcast found to be null.
The Vimeo RSS feeds are not video podcasts. They don't provide access to individual video files (they just link to the vimeo player), and they don't have any of the necessary information to be able to add them to a podcast library. I'm afraid this isn't really a bug. Still, thank you so much for the report!
