For the all videos (High) RSS feed, since sometime after 9:30 this morning, I'm getting an auth failure. I re-entered the password, but still not working.

Edit: Of course, 30 minutes later, it's working now.....

Looks like y'all hosed the RSS feed history. The complete list of current items in that feed are parts 2, 3, and 4 of the PlayStation 4 Launchstravaganza. I was wondering why my podcast app didn't catch part 1 of that; it was never in the RSS feed to begin with.

@kentor: Where are you trying to subscribe from? What program specifically?

@keen314: Does http://www.giantbomb.com/videos/feed/mobile/ work for you?

@agentmoo: Is this still an issue for you? It looks to be resolving appropriately for me. It looks like your account might have expired?

Same here, I'm getting the feed parsed by Firefox fine, but iTunes/other podcatchers don't authenticate. Same with http://www.giantbomb.com/videos/feed/mobile/.

Basically, it seems like authenticating through the website works fine:

[tbyte@arch shm]$ rm cookie output;token=$(curl -s -S -b cookie -c cookie https://auth.giantbomb.com/login/ | grep token | sed -e 's/.*token."[ ]value[=]"\(.*\)".*/\1/g');curl -s -S -b cookie -c cookie -L -i -d 'form[_username]=miles64' -d form[_password]=‘xxxxxxxx’ -d 'form[_target_path]=/login/?login=success' -d "form[_token]=$token" 'https://auth.giantbomb.com/check-login/' > /dev/null;curl -s -S -b cookie -c cookie http://www.giantbomb.com/videos/feed/hd/8/

But HTTP authentication doesn't work:

@rorie: Thanks! Yes it was my account, I didn't realized it had expired. I renewed and it's working great - my RSS app is catching up on all the content.

My stupidity knows no bounds. I used the wrong username. It actually works fine :D Although it's very interesting that I have to use a different username for the http auth then for the website. Maybe it's because I was registered on Whiskey originally?
