I'm using Pocketcasts on iOS and I'm trying to add the premium video RSS feeds but it's not working.

The RSS feed I'm using is similar to this: https://www.giantbomb.com/videos/feed/hd/?api_key=REDACTED

The feed is added correctly, but each item shows up as 1KB or 2KB and when I try to download it fails.

Any ideas?

Oh, interesting... can we get access to the HLS URL using the API? (I'd like to stream it to the native iOS video player to enable picture-in-picture, etc)

Does anybody know if Giant Bomb is planning to add support for HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) so we can stream videos directly over cellular on our iOS devices?

You need to append your API key:

Thanks! I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing an RSS feed because I really enjoy seeing the unfinished games.

Why is the latest quick look titled "Unfinished: Secrets of Grindea" not showing in any of the RSS feeds?

Is there a new "Unfinished" quick looks RSS feed?

I'm just wondering, but does anybody use a laptop on their couch to play games?

I have a big gaming desktop but it's down in the basement so I thought it might be nice to buy a small laptop for playing indie (or light) games on the couch so I can sit by my wife while we watch TV, etc.

Anyways, I've tried a Macbook Air (2013) and the trackpad is a bit annoying for me even though I'm only playing turn-based games and some indie stuff (FTL, etc). I've tried using a mouse on the couch as well but that also doesn't work.

Does anybody here use a laptop (without hooking it up to their TV) for gaming while on their couch?

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...
