I have the boom. I deleted the old app for Podcasts from the boom. I went to the apps gallery to install the new podcast app. I am using mysqueezebox.com. When I click on the podcasts app all I see is Error: No items found in playlist. What am I doing wrong ?

more information
Are you connecting directly to MySqueezebox.com or do you have a squeezebox server yourself?

Did you add any podcasts on your Mysqueezebox.com account?

I connect only to mysqueezebox.com
Not connected to a server. I didn't add any individual podcasts. I just added the app which reads -Error: No items found in playlist. Are you saying I have to add podcasts to the list manually ? With the old app there were 3 categories listed - something like Top 10 podcasts, Odeo podcasts. etc.

Adding podcasts to app
So I would look for a podcast that can be downloaded as an MP3 and add that URL to MySQ.com ? Or is this something that can only be done with a streaming podcasts ? Sorry to be asking such newbie questions.

Well I don't use the Logitech podcast app too much but I have defined a few things there like this one: Originally Posted by Lennyd

Which is an rss-feed with links to the actual podcasts. I assume this is a common way of doing it.

for my podcast use, I add RSS of my podcasts to the URL of the Podcast app on myapps within mysqueezebox.com. This way several recent podcasts automatically show up. Originally Posted by Lennyd

Does every podcast have an RSS feed ? If so how do I find the name of the RSS feed ?

good question. I doubt it. I mostly just poke around until I find something that works. Most of the time I just google the podcast name along with podcast and RSS (science friday podcast RSS) and get right to a page. Originally Posted by Lennyd
