Re: [LPFM] NZ Music Beat

Hi Edwin,

Have updated it, it seems I didn't upload the latest version of the RSS file. Tidied a couple of things up.

I wonder if it'll work for you now? Try feed://www.lfmonline.org/nzmusicbeat/nzmusicbeat.rss

It works for myself in both Firefox & Safari, not sure if Internet Explorer on PC will work also assuming it will?
What browser are you using?

Regards,
Ethan

Ethan,

Looks like you have the wrong MIME type.  I just see your XML code in the browser, which means it's not subscribable unless I paste the URL into iTunes manually.  You need to make sure your Web server is issuing the correct mime type of application/xml.

In any event, none of your content loads. Probably because you haven't properly escaped your URLs.  As you may know you can't have a space in a URL - but you can represent the space with its hexadecimal notation %20.

Also, it looks like you're missing the <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> tag at the very beginning (i.e. before the <rss> tag).

And your "length" attribute of the <enclosure> tag shows zero - which is obviously incorrect.


You might want to fix those errors and get us to try again.  By the way, you might find this page useful:  http://validator.w3.org/feed/



Having said all that, the concept of your podcast sounds good - which is why I'm keen to try again once your bugs have been fixed!

Hi Fellow LPFM'ers.

I have brought back a feature to my LPFM station called The NZ Music Beat and I have put it on the internet as a podcast.
Its a feature which is updated regularly with the latest in NZ Music. The music comes from NZ On Air's Kiwi Hit Disc.

I would like to offer this free of charge, to all you other LPFM stations to broadcast if you wish. Or just broadcast the ones which would be of interest to you.

The link is: http://www.lfmonline.org/nzmusicbeat/nzmusicbeat.rss

All I ask is if you use it could you please email me and tell me your thoughts on it :)..
