I was so surprised (and thrilled) to see an Endurance Run video on the homepage, because I will normally just check if my auto-downloader has picked up any new videos. I checked both the "all videos" feed as well as the ER-only one, and neither one has this video.
Shenmue Endurance Run missing from RSS feeds
I believe the issue is due to some malformed XML in the giant bomb API.
Seen here: http://www.giantbomb.com/api/videos/?filter=id:11547&api_key=<api_key>
The XML returned has an error with the hd_url:

The hd_url info is empty and broken:
<hd_url/>
It should look something like this, instead (grabbed from the Shenmue End. Run ep 5):
<hd_url><![CDATA[http://v.giantbomb.com/2016/09/07/vf_shenmue_er05_09062016_4000.mp4]]></hd_url>
@frobie Looks like the Shenmue video url is fixed, but the Deus Ex - Mankind Divided GBE Playdate video is still broken. See: http://www.giantbomb.com/api/videos/?filter=id:11557&api_key=<api_key>
Hey again @frobie, same issue again with Shenmue Endurance Run ep 24: http://www.giantbomb.com/api/videos/?filter=id:11619&api_key=abc123
