Here's a curl statement for the 401 that was returned (I confirmed it is the same when not logged in)

I tried searching for the text "test" and received the following results:

Unable to execute your query. Ensure that a valid subscription key has been set up for your instance.

For obvious reasons, I could not search to see if this had already been reported. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

For the past 2 days it looks like the RSS feeds and video download issues have been fixed (for me at least).

Shout out to @rorie and team for working on these issues, it is appreciated!

It looks like none of the premium download RSS feeds have updated since this entry:

<title>We Got a PSVR2!</title>

So all the videos from yesterday are missing:

• Game Mess Mornings 02/16/23
• Voicemail Dump Truck 57
• Quick Look: Like a Dragon: Ishin!

Assuming the Apple TV App pulls from the same RSS feeds I reference above, then the potential fix coming Monday should address this too!

Hey @rorie, thanks for your help investigating issues from this change!

I found another one unfortunately. It looks like this upgrade coincided with a change in the video file hosting location and the video RSS feeds are broken.

e.g. https://www.giantbomb.com/videos/feed/mobile/?api_key=REDACTED-SECRET-KEY

Grubber Lang's Punch-Out!! 03 was the last working video with the URL in the RSS of:

<enclosure url="https://giantbomb.redvideo.io/2023/02/01/2ded6ec7-407e-4a27-94a2-44f79d413667/vf_grubberlang_020123_920_360h700k.mp4?api_key=REDACTED-SECRET-KEY" type="video/mp4" length="0"/>

Game Mess Mornings 02/01/23 and all videos posted afterwards have a new host and are rejecting (403 Forbidden) download requests:

<enclosure url="https://cdn.jwplayer.com/videos/7mEow2YV-rwwcgS4K.mp4?api_key=REDACTED-SECRET-KEY" type="video/mp4" length="0"/>

If you need other info, I am happy to provide.

It seems that all download options return the following message:

“Based on your subscription level, this content is unavailable”

I subscribe to the mobile feed on my iPhone Podcasts app, and noticed I was missing UPF so I started investigating.

It looks like the feeds content differ based on video quality (posting latest video published for each):

• MOB

  • pubDate: Fri, 25 Mar 2022 10:44:00 PDT

  • Run for the Hills Silent Hill 2 - 01

I wish you a speedy recovery which allows you to enjoy some gaming time! 🤗🎮

@rorie it looks like the last two videos uploaded by @ybbaaabby are missing from the RSS feeds:

• https://www.giantbomb.com/shows/tony-hawks-pro-skater-1-2-09092020/2970-20663
• https://www.giantbomb.com/shows/episode-277/2970-20670/free-video
