Password protected RSS feed / podcast on N95 N ser...

I have a feed subscription that I pay for and it is password protected.  The N95 podcast player doesn't seem to be able to access it.
I've tried http://[email protected]
This works on a computer, but not the N95.
Can anyone help?

For you developers out there - an option for you is to download my
RSS Reader web part for free and edit the code. You can set the credentials of the WebRequest to something other than default credentials.
Search for this line of code: xmlReq.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
I wrote this web part as an alternative to the RSS Viewer Web Part because not everbody has MOSS. Plus, it is open source so you can customize the look and feel, and it's behavior.

  • Computer storage for rss feed / podcast?

    Can you use your computer storage say a external hard drive as your podcast storage? Instead of using a website?
    If so, how do you get a RSS feed to make it all come together?
    Basically you use your computer as the storage & host.

    It is technically posssible to do this by setting your computer up as a web server. However I don't recommend this. Firstly, it's quite a technical process on which I can't advise (and as you have Windows you won't get advice on it in these forums).
    Secondly your computer has to be running all the time. Thirdly you must have a permanent IP number - many ISPs change it from time to time precisely to prevent you from doing this because of bandwidth considerations, or charge extra for it.
    Thirdly most ISPs provide a much lower upload speed than download speed, which could make your episodes very slow to load.
    Fourthly this could consume considerable bandwidth and if you have any sort of cap on it you could hit it quite quicky.
    And finally your ISP may very well not allow this, so you need to check with them as if they don't you are likely to be disconnected in short order.

  • Metadata on iPod from RSS feed (podcast) - ID3 tags or XML-generated?

    Hi,
    Does the metadata on an iPod come from the ID3 tags or from the XML-generated content in the RSS feed?
    Thanks!

    Afterthought:
    My experience is generally with tweaking tags to get iTunes to merge feeds but if you are downloading podcasts directly to the iPod it may concentrate on the feed information. Short of running tests with deliberately different information in the feed & the tag it is hard to say.

  • RSS Feed/Podcast image

    I think I may have goofed when I originally published my website on iWeb. I'm really hoping someone can help. I started a blog, but I think when I first designed the site, I deleted the original media place holder where the RSS feed draws the image for the feed, and also for a podcast. When I submitted to iTunes, it is blank, even though album art is embedded in the file.
    I figured this out by trying a new website to mobile me, and I noticed that the originally image place holder that comes up with a blog template is where the RSS feed draws the image.
    Is there any way to get this back, or to redo my the front page of my blog without losing all my archives when I republish?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
    Jason

    I had the same problem. It was a while ago, but I think I ultimately went into the RSS file and found the tag I needed, which was <itunes:image> and I manually edited it. I've hunted around and apparently this is the correct way to write it:
    <itunes:image href="http://www.yourimageaddress.jpg" />
    You should upload your image, which should be 600 x 600 pixels to a storage place like imageshack.us and copy the direct URL. Or upload it to your own website. Then insert the URL into the RSS code as above. Then you need to republish the RSS feed. It takes a couple of days, but it should show up.
    Here is some info from the Apple website:
    This tag specifies the artwork for your podcast. Put the URL to the image in the href attribute. iTunes prefers square .jpg images that are at least 600 x 600 pixels, which is different than what is specified for the standard RSS image tag.
    iTunes supports images in JPEG and PNG formats. The URL must end in ".jpg" or ".png". If the itunes:image tag is not present, iTunes will use the contents of the RSS image tag.
    If you change your podcast’s image, also change the file’s name. iTunes may not change the image if it checks your feed and the image URL is the same.
    Spend some time developing an attractive, original image that represents your podcast well. Potential subscribers will see it on your podcast’s page and a much smaller version of the image in search results and feature placements. Make sure your design is effective in both sizes.
    The itunes:image tag is not supported at the item level. It is possible to include art within individual episodes, but the art is included within the media file’s metadata, not in the RSS feed. To add artwork to an episode using iTunes, highlight the episode and select "Get Info" from the "File" menu. Click the Artwork tab. Then click "Add," navigate to and select an image file, and click "Choose."

  • Safari keeps asking for Name and Password for RSS feed

    Safari version 4.0 (4530.17) keeps popping up a window asking me to "Enter you Name and Password to update the RSS feed". the message continues - " To update the RSS feed "http://mail.google.com/mail/feed/atom", you need to log in to the area "New mail feed" on mail.google.com. Your password will be sent in clear text".
    This only started after the last Safari software upgrade a few weeks ago.
    What is this? I did not sign up for any RSS feed. I keep selecting Cancel but it pops up every few minutes when Safari is open.

    Try removing all the preference files for Acrobat, see my list in Re: Acrobat 9 Pro requires admin password every time it opens?.

  • RSS feeds and tags for blog series?

    Hi,
    We are trying to establish a blog series for news regarding our small OS/DB platform (DB4). Granularity of Categories regarding SDN blogs is far too low to shrink the contents suitably for our target group by using RSS feeds for a Category. And I suppose there is no way to create a dedicated category for the small amount of contributions to expect.
    So, the current approach is to tell people to subscribe to the RSS feed pointing to my personal account. This is only a bad workaround. I'd prefer tagging the blog series with a specific keyword so other members of our group could contribute to the series, and blog contributions to other topics by me could be filtered out.
    Any suggestions? Thanks a lot,
    Thomas

    Hi Thomas,
    My suggestion would be to use the SCN wiki
    Each space has its own rss feed. I believe there is also a new way to work with specific wiki pages and labels.
    I recommend you reach out to Moshe Naveh from my team and he'll assist.

  • How can I prevent firefox from autodetecting RSS feed,podcasts,etc.?

    Whenever I visit the forum at www.vlexoforums.com, and click on a topic, firefox asks me to choose the way I would like to receive updates to the forum. It asks me to choose from google reader, microsoft outlook, preview in firefox, add live bookmarks in firefox, etc. This did not use to happen earlier. Recently I updated firefox and after that this started happening.
    == I updated firefox to 3.5.10.

    "Add-ons" is a mis-leading term, regarding what appears in the Add-ons Manager tab. "Addons" includes Extensions, Search Engines, Themes (Appearance), User Scripts, Styles, and Services - all of which the "Updates" can be controlled by Firefox preferences. "Plugins" are shown in the AOM too, but unlike the others, Firefox has no control over updates for Plugins. As James mentioned, Plugins aren't installed within Firefox as the other categories of "Add-Ons" are - and updates are controlled by the application that installed the Plugin that Firefox uses from each application's own set of folders or wherever in Windows files the Plugin is placed by the installer.
    IMO, the biggest problem with Flash is that it is set by default to only look for an update once a month. So when Adobe updates Flash multiple times a month (3 "updates" in January alone) the Flash updater can'r catch each update as it occurs, or even within an acceptable "window of time". A user might "fall behind" as many as 3 new version releases quite easily.
    As far as clicking to "Allow" each video when you're behind a version or two with Flash, at least Mozilla does a "soft block" and permits you to "Allow" - a "hard block" would make it impossible to use Flash at all. And "yes". Mozilla ''can do" a "hard block" when necessary.
    In conclusion, Flash is a dying technology, which deserves to be buried. It is too "exploitable" by the "bad guys". All the recent "updates" are for security patches for fixing "holes" in Flash and stability fixes to an old application that "has seen better days" (like 10 years ago).
    HTML5 Video looks like the future. Use it where you can, like at YouTube which gives you a choice for many videos they host - but you you need to enable that feature in Google preferences or all you're liable got get is Flash videos. With other websites, their users need to tell them that they want HTML5 videos only.

  • Password-protected podcasts; does Podcasts app support?

    Now that a beloved podcast has gone behind a paywall, I'm in need of support for password protection in Podcasts app. The workaround in iOS5 was to enter the password on iTunes on the Mac, and the program would update to the Music app on the iPhone. Now, the Music app no longer supports podcasts at all, and the password-protected podcasts seem to transfer to the iPhone intermittently. And certainly, there seems to be no support or subscribing to password-protected apps from Podcasts app directly.
    Or am I missing something?

    I've been getting a similar problem. When I update my podcast feeds, if I don't press ok on the password window before it times out, it kills Itunes. I think what is happening is that Itunes is start to request the feed, gets an "I want an user name and password" dialog from the server and then pops up a window. If you don't respond in time, the far server ends the session, and when you finally do respond, itunes can't handle the response from the far server and crashes.
    What needs to happen is that Itunes needs to say "I have a username and password associated with this feed" and automatically send that, then only prompt the user if there is a response from the server saying there is a problem.
    That being said, I still have the same problem of not finding a place to report this bug as well.

  • How can I import my bookmarks and RSS feeds from Flock?

    I just switched over from Flock because it's too sluggish to use anymore. How do I import all my bookmarks, passwords, and RSS feeds? If I have to do it all by hand, I'm going to cry.
    Also do I need a separate RSS reader to get my feeds in a nice list like Flock does it? I don't really get how Live Bookmarks are supposed to work.
    Thanks. I used Firefox before moving to Flock, so hopefully switching back won't be too painful.

    Hm. This was somewhat helpful. I got my bookmarks moved (although now that I see how many of them I had backed up, I'm not sure that was a good idea).
    Still trying to figure out the passwords... I have my Flock profile folder and my Firefox profile folders open... it looks like I need to copy the key3.db file and the signons.sqlite file from the Flock folder to the Firefox folder, does that sound correct?
    As for the RSS feeds, it looks like I'll need an external reader to make any use of the .OPML file that Flock exported for me. I'm still not really clear on how Live Bookmarks work, exactly. I see how to create and manage them, I just don't get how they function day to day. I have a ridiculous number of RSS feeds, some of which still have half a hundred posts I'm working my way through.
    Any recommendations for a good Firefox compatible feed reader?
    Thanks!

  • RSS Feed with Password Protected Blog

    I just got done setting up a password protected blog on my .mac site w/ personal domain. I tested out the RSS Feed in NewsFire, and it worked fine (prompted for username and password), and it also works in the Mail program. I had a friend ask if it would work in her Google Reader, so I tried it out using my Google account, and it doesn't seem to want to work -- says the feed cannot be retrieved. Same thing when I tried to plug it into my Yahoo page. I set up another site with a test blog w/ no password protection, and it worked fine in the Google reader.
    So I am assuming that the other readers are just not sophisticated enough to display feed from a password protected page. So my question is whether or not there's anything I can do (or advise them to do) to get around it.
    TIA for any perspective.

    Hi, JO
    I'm having the same problem with password protection on, though I hadn't tested with it off.
    I don't have a solution (though I'd like to find one), but I can add more info to the problem: when I tested my website on Internet Explorer in Windows (I run windows on my iMac with Parallels), the search function did work with the password protection on.
    I'd really like to know how to get the Search button to work on the Mac with password protection on.

  • I used to have an RSS feed to a blog site which is protected by a username and password rembered by Firefox. I am now asked for those details when trying to enter the blog and despite entering them correctly I am denied entry.

    My old server (5.5. years) was failing me and loosing some random items. I have accessed this blog site for the past three years and during that period the access passwords and user names have been changed several times. Each time I asked Firefox to remember the correct details and I gained entry with no problems. Before I replaced the equipment I was continually refused entry despite entering all the correct information. I received a message telling me that I was either not entering the correct information (which according to the Blog editor I was) or that my server did not know how to connect to the RSS feed.

    Try BottomFeeder for those live feeds.

  • Problem accessing password protected podcast

    Hello,
    I'm having trouble accessing a password protected podcast. I'm not asked for my username or password. The download fails silently. When I click on the exclamation point in the left columb I see the following message:
    There was a problem downloading "http://rss.somepodcast.net/podcast/podcast.xml".
    Authorization is needed to access "http://rss.somepodcast.net:8080/podcast/podcast.xml".
    [OK]
    I'm using iTunes 7.0.2 on MacOS 10.3.9. Has anyone experienced similar problems? I discovered that I could access the podcast if I hand edit a copy of the feed and insert my username:password into each link.

  • "Enter your name and password to update the RSS feed"

    I keep getting a pop-up from Safari (even when it's in the background) that says:
    +*Enter your name and password to update the RSS feed*+
    How on earth do I disable this? It is asking for a username and password for Twitter so I must have clicked an RSS feed link there, but after searching like mad, I can't figure out where Safari looks for RSS at on my system.

    Same here,
    It says:
    <<Enter your name and password to update the RSS feed.
    To update teh RSS feed "Gmail - Inbox for [email protected]", you need to log in to the area "New mail feed" on mail.google.com. Your password will be sent in clear text.
    Name: (blank field)
    Password: (blank field)
    O Remember this password in my keychain. >>
    This started occurring immediately after updating to safari 4.
    I tried disabling the automatic RSS updates in safari preferences, set it to "never" as suggested, but the annoying window keeps on popping up.
    So the original question is still not answered for me.
    It seems to me that all people reporting this problem are OSX Tiger (10.4.11) users

  • Rss feed of the podcast directory?

    Hey all,
    Does anyone know if Apple publishes RSS feeds of the iTunes Store's Podcast directory? I would love to be able to use an rss feed based on keyword search or popularity and be able to write a small application where my site visitors can find relevant podcasts from iTunes and then click to subscribe.
    Thanks!

  • Switching podcast RSS feed

    I recently got my podcast approved and put onto the iTunes store. It's currently being hosted on Podomatic, but I've uploaded the exact same content to Soundcloud and been approved for an RSS feed there. My Podomatic RSS feed is currently what's being used on iTunes, but is there any way I can switch over to my Soundcloud RSS feed without resubmitting and recreating the podcast all over again? It seems that Soundcloud would be a better hosting site because it's free, the interface is aesthetically better, and I think it has more storage, whereas with Podomatic I believe I only get 500 mb of storage total, which means I'd have to archive old episodes elsewhere once I get beyond that limit. This is what I get for being impatient I guess. Please let me know if you have any guidance!

    In order to move to a different feed you have to add a special tag to the original feed and leave it in place for a couple of weeks. You may well find you can't do this with Podomatic (who will have no interest in helping you to leave them) in which case you will have to email Support at [email protected] and ask them to move it for you. The full details of all this are here:
