Private (custom) RSS feed not working
-
I have scripts that create private/custom RSS feeds that work fine with other podcast clients like Overcast, but when I try to add it to Pocket Casts it silently fails. I submitted a support ticket about a week ago but haven’t heard back. I can see Pocket Casts retrieving the URL from my server, but it never displays. Any ideas why it fails?
I’ve included below the full contents of a simple testing RSS file that I’m unable to add/play from Pocket Casts:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <rss xmlns:content="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/" xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" xmlns:itunes="http://www.itunes.com/dtds/podcast-1.0.dtd" version="2.0"><channel><title>Testing Feed</title><language>en-us</language><itunes:explicit>no</itunes:explicit> <itunes:category text="Technology" /><description><![CDATA[testing]]></description> <item> <title>Testing</title><enclosure url="https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/chrt.fm/track/8DB4DB/pdst.fm/e/pfx.vpixl.com/6qj4J/nyt.simplecastaudio.com/3e43d072-f8a5-430f-bc8e-4c70aafdf3c7/episodes/b348acd5-4eaa-4934-930b-8fe5da7751bd/audio/128/default.mp3" type="audio/mpeg"/></item></channel></rss> -
Could you please share the feed URL with us so we can check? Thanks!

I shared the feed URL multiple times to the support address and prefer not to share the original link publicly, but I’ve posted a couple of sample RSS files here: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/ucyl2hrv9e73h0xcydj9w/h?rlkey=07my8l8zg49isvgctgizutb9p&dl=0
If you can respond to my support request, I can send the URL I’m trying to add to Pocket Casts.

This was solved in another thread. My problems were (1) lack of <pubdate> tag and (2) using text HTML entities rather than numbers.
