Cant get Podcast urls working in plex

having a problem with the following URL

https://anchor.fm/s/17959f4/podcast/rss

Adds ok but just gets the “nothing is here” (going to the URL directly in a web browser does show content)

I can’t add this feed as a podcast: https://www.flightradar24.com/blog/feed/podcast/

Sooo… PodCasts left Beta but our links are still broken? Any suggestions on how we can use Plex as intended with our broken feeds?

I am trying to add “The Woody Show” podcast to my list and it won’t add it

Soundcloud url works right? https://soundcloud.com/thewoodyshow

This one isn’t showing any content too. Tried a few urls:
http://www.ndr.de/fernsehen/sendungen/extra_3/video-podcast/extradrei196_version-hq.xml
https://www.ndr.de/fernsehen/sendungen/extra_3/video-podcast/index.xml
http://www.ndr.de/podcast/extradrei196.xml
Even the itunes version isn’t working:


Thx for helping

Video podcasts are not supported at the moment.

This one doesn’t work either:

http://www.espn.com/espnradio/feeds/rss/podcast.xml?id=2544457

Can’t get this to work
http://podcasts.files.bbci.co.uk/b036f7w2.rss

It always reports an error. I was trying several times today but always an error Something went wrong. Make sure the URL is correct and try again.
So I’m just wondering why it has appeared on my deck? When is an error actually an error and how long was that feed on my deck?

Can’t find any of my podcasts I’m interested in (mostly german) in the official library. And if I try to add them manually I always get the known “Something went wrong. Make sure the URL is correct and try again.” error.

Ok, the newest Plex update (not yet available via Synology) solved the problem. Thanks!

Plex does not accept this podcast feed for some reason. So far it’s the only one I’ve had trouble with: http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/live/rss/podcast.xml

Well, now I have a second one that Plex refuses to load: https://rss.art19.com/voyage-to-the-stars

(I should give credit where credit is due by saying the first one I asked about above is now working in Plex.)

I’m trying to add Congressional Dish to my podcasts:
http://congressionaldish.libsyn.com/rss 1

But Plex gives me a generic error when I attempt:
“Something went wrong. Make sure the URL is correct and try again.”

I grepped the logs for “congressionaldish” and found nothing. I also grepped around for “ERROR” and didn’t see anything relevant.

Any ideas?

I tried 3 different podcasts and none worked using the URL method.

A workaround until this is fixed: The PodcastAddict app on android can export an OPML file. Subscribe to all your podcasts, then go to Settings>Backup. Upload the OPML to Plex and it will work.

All of my podcasts that failed the URL method worked using OPML

@ kinoCharlino I am unable to add http://thewhorecast.com/podcast/feed/wc-podcast/ via chrome or android app.

Hi ! I have the same issue here with this podcast :
http://blog.rolisteam.org/feed/podcast/cops

It works well in software like PodcastAddict.
Tested from WebApplication and Android with url and OPML nothing works :frowning:

Thanks in advance!

A couple more (different episodes of same podcast):

Thanks!

Interestingly, the 538 podcasts experience a similar issue. Hopefully this gets addressed

I’ve got a podcast that isn’t working, but it’s pay for an a custom link for my account, so would rather not share over forums.

Is there a good way to hand that off for someone to look at, or get debug info on my end to figure out why it’s not working? curl’ing the URL produces valid XML. I just don’t want to have to manually load the OPML weekly…
