Can't add a podcast???

[buffettck]

I'm trying to add Tom Gresham's Guntalk podcast. I have the app installed and have successfully been listening to Car Talk on NPR podcasts, so I know it works. I tried pasting the link below in my squeezebox account, but when I click "Add", nothing happens.

You need to use the RSS version of the podcast feed not the webpage - try

http://guntalk.libsyn.com/rss

Doesn't work. Nothing happens when I click "Add" after pasting in the link.

Oops...wait a tick... There it is! Just took a while to pop in and show up. Thanks for the help!

I've just worked this out myself after struggling for a couple of weeks - for some reason you need to add them on www.mysqueezebox.com - then they appear in LMS. Any changes to the podcast tab on LMS do not seem to register anywhere ...

(I am sure there must be a way to do it through LMS, but I gave up looking when I discovered this work around!)

(just read this properly and have noticed that you have sorted it, and that you were working through mysb.com - but for anyone else my previous post might be useful)

Using mysb.com is the only way by design as Logitech tried to make using a player connected to LMS and a player connected to mysb.com seamless. You have the same podcast irrespective of whether you are using a local LMS or mysb.com

There is an old podcast plugin which you have found which I think was left for backward compatibility. If you enable this plugin and use the mysb.com podcast entries - then you get problems. Do not use or enable the local LMS podcast plugin.

That would make sense - but the two seem inextricably linked - I have the plug in Podcasts v1.0 by Logitech installed - the settings link takes me to the page in LMS that has no impact on anything, whilst the "more info" link takes me to mysbs.com, where I can change stuff!

Not sure if disabling that plug in will remove the podcast capability from mysbs.com?

If they are linked - it is by accident possibly reusing an URL. The podcast plugin uses the Extras-Podcast menu - the mysb Podcast uses the My Apps/Podcast

There is no "more info" link for the Podcast plugin on my version of LMS

It won't as mysb.com/My Apps Podcasts is a App whereas the plugin is a plugin ! Usually having both plugin enabled and Podcast app installed causes problems.
