RSS video feeds using wrong URL format

The enclosure URLs for the content items in the video RSS feeds are missing the protocol (https://) which makes downloading the content fail.

Edited for clarity

I think this explains the uptick in the errors reported in these threads:

Sorry, I should clarify that this is for the video feeds only. The podcast feeds do have proper URLs from what I can see.

If these remain broken for much longer, they will need to increase the number of videos in each feed to allow our applications to catch up. :(

Same problem here

Yep, broken. The enclosure_url and guid tags in each item in the feed are lacking http(s):// and RSS feed readers and podcast clients fail to load the videos.

RSS feeds HD8K not working with kodi. Missing HTTPS:// in enclosure_url.

Please fix!

Having the same issue, Pocket Casts errors when trying to download the videos. Normal audio podcasts work fine

This was very confusing why my automated stuff wasnt working.

@rorie: Can you help us get this seemingly simple issue resolved? I can confirm that I am on Pocket Casts and using the HD All Premium Videos RSS feed which no longer allows any videos to be downloaded. Please help!

I can confirm as well that something went off the rails after the last Bombcast video was posted. I hope this shows up on someone’s radar to fix as the work week begins.

It’s affecting dozens of us! Dozens!

Yep, same error for me here - says 'unsupported url'

Same problem here - currently getting errors when trying to download any video file through the All Videos RSS feed on my podcatcher app.

Please fix 😁🙏

Same for me!

I’m also seeing this as well.

Hey all, apologies for not seeing this thread earlier. I'll see if an engineer can look into this!

@rorie: Thanks!

Just FYI this is in the hands of an engineer. I don't have an ETA for a fix but it's being looked into.

shenmue and half-life videos both just worked for me.

I woke up to a load of downloaded videos so looks like it's fixed. Thanks duders!

Thanks, looks like it’s working!

Indeed, most of the videos are working for me as well and I've downloaded all the premium stuff I'd missed (yes, I can watch them elsewhere, but variable speed is a must-have feature for me). I still can't seem to download the American Truck Simulator Playdate from last week, maybe it just missed the cutoff of files that got updated?

Seems good now, thank you!
