I'm just wondering, but will the quick-look of the Vita from yesterday be uploaded today? I missed it yesterday :(

iTunes is funny.

I'm not sure if it works the same on Windows and OS X but iTunes continues prompting for a username/password for all password-protected podcasts even if you click 'Remember Password'.  (it will remember your username/password, but you still have to click OK everytime it refreshes!)

Would it be possible to add a username/password HTTP GET parameter to avoid this?

Example:  
  http://www.giantbomb.com/videos/feed/hd/?username=sofakng&password=hidden
  http://www.giantbomb.com/videos/feed/hd/10/?username=sofakng&password=hidden

Right now I've created a PHP script using libCURL to perform authentication for me and avoid this problem:
  http://myserver/getfeed.php?username=sofakng&password=hidden&podcastId=10 (ie. subscriber videos)

I'm just wondering, but is this against the terms of service for the website?  I absolutely do not want to get in trouble and I really don't see anything wrong with what I'm doing but I really want to make sure.

Is there any way to stop iTunes from prompting me for a password every time it syncs my Giant Bomb Subscriber feed videos?

It's very annoying and prevents iTunes from automatically updating my other podcasts because of the username/password prompt...

Update:  I've just reverted back to iOS 4.3.5 and the problem still exists so it's not a problem with the iOS 5 beta.

I've also searched the forums here and it seems like other people are also experiencing these issues...

Ugh.

I've submitted a bug report to Apple but I'm guessing that it's already a known issue. (I've submitted a number of different other bug reports and they do respond quickly so if you're interested in their response I'll post it here after I hear back)

Thanks for the confirmation though!

I'm using iOS 5 beta 6 and I can't seem to play any of the videos from the mobile Giant Bomb website (m.giantbomb.com).

When I attempt to play the video I see the circle/play button but when I click on it nothing happens.

I'm not sure if this is an iOS problem or related the the Giant Bomb site...

I saw a part of it but I was hoping to watch the whole thing myself.

Is this available any longer?

Are you planning to add support for HD videos? 
 
I'm a paid member of Giant Bomb so if HD videos are available I'd much rather watch them instead of "High" quality...

I paid for an annual subscription and am wondering what is going on with this to. 
 
This morning iTunes started saying that Giant Bomb is no longer a valid podcast. 
 
Please, please don't make me manually download each weekly episode from the website.  That is way too much of an inconvenience.

I'm using the official Giant Bomb iPhone app but it truncates video names to just a few characters.  The endurance runs are basically illegible because the episode number isn't displayed. 
 
Am I missing something or can somebody tell me how to see full video descriptions so I can choose the right episode, etc?
