I have found a way to get it to work with podcatcher for foobar2000 you need to have the url for the RSS feed set like this

http://username:password@www.giantbomb.com/podcast-xml/premium/

Replace username with your username and password with your password not need to change anything in to url code.

I would think this would work for most RSS/podcast things that don't ask for the login info, the only thing with this is it will be sending your password in plain text(as part of the url)...but I am not sure if the RSS/podcast things that do ask for info don't just to this anyway. Hope this helps everyone.

Nice, now I can use VLC for watching videos without relogging in all the time.

Does this not work anymore or is it just me? I can't use this in VLC anymore..

@jslack: It's weird, sometimes it works and sometimes not.. Maybe I'm screwing the url up sometimes, who knows. Yeah, looks like I am. Thanks! Also it looks like it works with HTTPS which is great!

PS: It would be great if the video feeds went further back.

@forcen: Hmmm. Our podcast xml feed shows everything, going back till 2008. It might be the software you are using that's cropping out results?

@jslack: The podcast feeds go all the way back, but not the premium video feeds.
