409 Conflict when adding podcast on mysqueezebox.com

[steinarb]

I am trying to add the podcast

https://nrss.deno.dev/api/feeds/ukeslutt

to my podcast app on

But I get 409 Conflict on the POST to

https://mysqueezebox.com/settings/podcasts/add

The body of the 409 Conflict response is the message:
There was an error verifying this Podcast feed: invalid

Is it possible get more debug information to find out what exactly was invalid about this podcast feed?

Thanks!

I have not tried it ... but I think https causes a problem on mysqueezebox.com (because it knows that old Squeezebox hardware cannot handle it itself) - so it tries as http ... which I presume does not work in this case.

Does MSB.com support https feeds ?

Not really an answer but you can access the same podcast via the Podcast app on LMS.

I have created an HTTP reverse proxy for https://nrss.deno.dev at http://nrss.bang.priv.no

But I didn't have any more suksess with http://nrss.bang.priv.no/api/feeds/ukeslutt

This feed also got 409 conflict at https://mysqueezebox.com/settings/podcasts/add with the same response:

There was an error verifying this Podcast feed: invalid

I ran the non-proxied feed througj an RSS validator that google found me: https://www.castfeedvalidator.com/va...feeds/ukeslutt

There are two errors (and two warnings) in the "Basic feed tests" and one error marked as "Fatal" in the website section (an mpeg is returned where a web site is expected).

Are any of these errors a problem for https://mysqueezebox.com/user/apps ?

[Paul Webster]

We (outsiders) cannot see the mysb logs to check things.
However, given you have some web server skills then one approach for you could be to make a copy of the RSS feed and host it yourself and then point mysb at it ... and then make small changes to the XML to see if you can narrow down the problem to some particular fields.

I have tested both the original and the http proxied feed in my local LMS. Both work.

I did get a ‘500 server error’ on one occasion from the original feed, when entering the url into the podcast app settings page. I guess that was a temporary server error.

I have also tested the http proxied feed in MySB. That worked too.

Perhaps the podcast feed server is a bit flaky.

The author of https://github.com/olaven/NRSS has fixed all validator issues in castfeedvalidator: https://www.castfeedvalidator.com/va...feeds/ukeslutt

Unfortunately I still get 409 Conflict when adding https://nrss.deno.dev/api/feeds/ukeslutt

Tried the http->https proxied version of the URL today: http://nrss.bang.priv.no/api/feeds/ukeslutt

And now it worked! I am playing last Saturday's episode on my old squeezebox duet receiver right now!

So to anyone who end up here when googling squeezebox and nrk podcasts, here's the procedure:

1. Open https://nrss.deno.dev in a web browser
2. Search up your podcast and click on "Kopier URL"
3. Paste the copied URL into a text editor and replace "https://nrss.deno.dev" (without the quotes) with "http://nrss.bang.priv.no" (also without the quotes)
4. Open https://www.mysqueezebox.com/user/apps in a web browser and select podcast
5. Paste the http URL into the "Add a Podcast feed" form and click on "Add"

Good ! It worked, at last.
