RSS Feed URLs

I need help pronto! I have podcasts on iWeb and I wan to put them on my existing website and not on .mac. I clicked publish to folder and it asked me for a URL for an RSS feed. Do I put my site address there? What do I put? I don't know. Please help!

Do I put my site address there? What
do I put? I don't know. Please help!
Yes, you put your site address, like http://www.myname.com.
Make sure when you upload via ftp that you upload 2 things: the folder with the same name as your site has inside iWeb, and the index.html file published alongside that folder. If you don't do the folder you will break the rss link.

Error messages when submitting a validated RSS feed URL to iTS.

Why do I keep getting error messages when submitting a validated RSS feed URL to iTS. Feed is http://streaming.integrationworks.com:3000/archive/feed2.xml
I get variations on the follwoing message: "We had difficulty reading this feed. Bad http result code: 504"
I validated this file at http://www.feedvalidator.org/. I am able to manually place it in iTunes (Open Stream) and download episodes. I can paste the URL in my browser and retrieve an RSS feed page.
Any ideas?

You have to remember that when subscribing manually, it's only your iTunes application which is doing this - the Store is not involved at all. When submitting, the Store software checks the feed as a technical check before its assessed for content by humans; but how this is done and what sort of call is made to the server is another of Apple's dark secrets.
You're the third with a similar situation in the last couple of days, and I've seen this arise before: though the specific message about a proxy server is unique to you. (A proxy server would act as an intermediary - anyone accessing the feed would ask the proxy for it, and the proxy would retrieve it from the actual server and pass it back, masking the original server's URL in the process. Whether this is actually what is going on is obviously something only your server technicians can say - and then there's the question of what is different about a request from the iTunes Store.)
If all else fails you could place the feed on another server and try again - you could do this and leave the episode media files where they are, they don't have to be on the same server as the feed, as long as the server in question can handle 'byte-range requests' (which is a quite separate can of digital worms).

How to get RSS feed url for site?

Is there a way to get the RSS feed url for a blog using Safari? I'm currently using FF for this since it is very simple. But that's about the only reason I use FF. Would be nice not to need two tools.
I don't want to subscribe to the site in Safari. I have an RSS Reader app that I plug the url into. I just want to see the url.

For some reason they removed that handy feature from Safari. But, there is an Extension called RSS Menu, which will add a button on your toolbar, giving you that function back.

Script to open RSS feed url's and post those in the background to a webpage

Dear everyone,
Im trying to work on a script that should do:
- Read My Apple mail RSS feeds every 120 seconds
- extract a NUMBER from the links from those RSS feeds
- then post them to a website url site.com/rss.php?id=<extracted id>
- It should run totally in the background of my apple
- The links should be posted in the background also without opening any browser or safari
Is this possible?
I have my apple now 4 months and this is my first applescript project, so its a bit too much for me, ive spend several hours investigating on how to do this can someone help me out a bit please?
on idle
if application "Mail" is running then
-- read RSS feeds from apple mail
-- Extract link ID www.site.com/?id=12345
-- Post Id 12345 to http://site.com/rss.php?id=<the id>
end if
return 120
end idle

Read My Apple mail RSS feeds every 120 seconds
Start by using a different RSS application.
Mail.app doesn't provide any access to RSS feeds via AppleScript, so there is no chance of doing this with Mail.app (or, at least, no easy way to do so).
Try something like NetNewsWire instead.
Once you have a viable app, the first part is pretty straightfoward:
on idle
if application "NetNewsWire" is running then
--extract a NUMBER from the links from those RSS feeds
tell application "NetNewsWire" to set numLinks to total unread count
end if
return 120
end if=idle
From here, though, I don't know what you're trying to do. You say:
then post them to a website url site.com/rss.php?id=<extracted id>
Do you mean you want to post the number of RSS messages (since that's what you asked for earlier), or do you mean you want to re-post the RSS articles? Or do you mean you want to download the links and re-post the entire linked article?
That's three options (and there are probably more), each of which require a different approach.

Alternate ways to update RSS Feed URL in iTunes Store

Hey all,
Ok, so I am having issues with updating my iTunes Store RSS URL. Here's the storyin a nutshell. If any of you have experience with this i would really appreciate some help, because I have been stuck for week now.
I started my podcast using Podbean.com as a host, and when I first submitted my podcast URL to th iTunes Store, I used the RSS URL that podbean gave me which was http://unfilteredandrew.podbean.com/feed/. A few weeks later, I decided to move my host to SquareSpace, therefore I have a new RSS URL for the podcast now. I understand the directions frovided by Apple on how to change the URL by inserting the <itunes:new-feed-url> tags into the XML file. This is where the problem lies. Podbean.com is not able to instert this tag into my the XML file (its a long story, I have been dealing with thier incompitent customer service for weeks now). Let's assume for now that this method is not optional.
SO my question to you guys is - is there another way to update the RSS URL feed? Currently the iTunes Store see's http://unfilteredandrew.podbean.com/feed/as my RSS feed, but I want it to see the NEW one which is: http://andrewunfiltered.squarespace.com/podcast?format=rss
Please help!!
Kellen

Ignore the 301 redirect - this is really intended for other rss readers than iTunes.
If you are creating a feed somehow and submitting that to Feedburner, which then passes it on to iTunes, and if you can add the tag to that original feed it will also appear in the Feedburner feed and the redirect will take place.
If you are creating the feed only in Feedburner by entering details, there you cannot directly edit the feed - I don't know whether Feedburner provides a way of doing this: most online podcast creation services don't.
If that's the case then you will have to abaondon the old feed. You should attempt to get the old podcast removed from the Store - instructions here (though there have been a number of reports that iTunes Store staff are simply not bothering to carry out this process) - and submit your new feed as an entirely new podcast. You will probably need to make a small change in the title, as a bug in the Store software may tell you that the podcast has already been submitted: and of course you will lose any subscribers or comments.

HELP?!? - Trying to find an RSS feed URL

In the latest update of iTunes the Podcast page has been reworked, and you can no longer find the little "i" icon that used to tell you about the Podcast, and it would display the URL of the RSS feed.
Anyone know how to find a podcast URL feed now that the icon is missing in the new iTunes???
Any help would be great. I just want to look at some of the feeds I like to see how their code compares to mine for accuracy.
Thanks!

Scratch the above....it was answered elsewhere, thx

ITunes U Sending Different URLs when Retrieving RSS Feed

We have a .aspx page that generates RSS feeds for all of our classes on iTunes U, some of which are private and some public. For the private classes, we're checking the signature iTunes U sends along in the URL to make sure the request is coming from iTunes before giving back the RSS feed for the class (with the correct content type), otherwise we return a 403 status.
The problem we're encountering is that iTunes is sending 3 different URLs when entering the RSS feed address in iTunes.
For example, one of our rss feed URLs might be http://www.sitename.edu/rss.aspx?classid=10 .
iTunes U is sending requests to
http://www.sitename.edu:80/rss.aspx?classid=10,
http://www.sitename.edu:80/rss.aspx?classid=10&time=foo&userID=foo&signature=foo ,
and
http://www.sitename.edu:80/rss.aspx?classid=10&time=foo&userID=foo&signature=foo &time=bar&userID=bar&signature=bar .
The first and third URLs both fail our check. As of a couple of weeks ago iTunes U was pulling in our private feeds just fine, but this week when we put in a URL iTunes U fails to get the feed with an error ("iTunes U could not update the content because iTunes U could not reach the specified feed. Verify the feed specified in the feed URL field is available, and then try again."), presumably because of the 3 different URLs it's sending at the same time. (We haven't changed the way our feed works in that time.)
We're using Type: Feed, Security: None, Signature: Append SHA-256 Signature, Check for changes: Daily, and I'm entering the URL into iTunes U as http://www.sitename.edu/rss.aspx?classid=10 .

Any word on this? The only people that could really check on this are at Apple. From the documentation, it's pretty clear that the only URL iTunes U should be sending is the one with one time, userID, and signature, plus it was working until the multiple URLs started being sent.
We really can't leave off the security check because of copyright issues (students in the class are legally allowed to view the materials but anyone outside is not).

I found the issue, the service provided by UCM i.e. the GET_REMOTE_FEED as when checked in the source code found doesn't support https. So any request made on https will give no result.

Create an RSS Feed to Church's Podcasts

My church posts its podcast sermons each week to iTunes Store (they are free of course). I would like an RSS Feed URL so that I can automatically get the new sermons in to Google Reader (or any other reader for that matter). Is there a way to create such an RSS feed for iTunes Podcasts? The church's website does not have an RSS Feed for this purpose.
I realize you can go the other direction, having iTunes subscribe to an RSS Feed (Advance, Subscribe to Podcast), but that is the wrong direction.
I am pretty technical, and I have searched the web and looked at things like feedburner, but don't see a way to do it.
Please advise if there is a better forum to post this in.
Thanks
Bob

Sorry - please ignore the above: that will get you your iTunes Store URL. (Comes of posting too late at night).
Start again. Go to the iTunes Store: click 'subscribe'. Go to the Podcasts section in iTunes. Control click on the line for your podcast (not an episode) and choose 'Copy Podcast URL'. That is your podcast feed URL which you can use in any other rss reader.

How can I export RSS feeds from Mail?

I've tried this command line apporach from http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20080319094830396 but it olny lists some of my RSS feed urls (and the output-to-web-browser version dosn't work at all -perhaps cause I've Snow Leopard 10.6.4?)
Is there any other solution?
Thanks.

I had to manually 'export' (copy and paste) the RSS feeds by:
Opening an RSS feed 'message' in Mail and then selecting View/Message/Raw Source from the Mail menu bar and then finding url details tagged with "X-Mail-Rss-Source-Url:" and then cpoy and paste them to TextEdit. Loads of fun!
_Tip: Don't use Mail for RSS feeds- ever._ Even if you only have a few feeds. When, overtime your feed list inevitably grows, it is a real pain to move those feeds to a dedicated RSS feed reader.
Use an RSS reader from the very start (like http://www.vienna-rss.org/ or http://netnewswireapp.com/ )

RSS Feed XML iView Suffix

Hi,
we created a XML iView for a RSS Input. Out problem is, if the rss - feed ends upon .xml everything work fine. Unfortunatly our RSS - feed URL does not end with .xml and so the iView produces only an error message.
Does anyone know how to configure the iView to run without the xml suffix? (We are not able to manipulate the RSS feed)
Greetings

sorry bur i don't know!

How can I download podcasts on iPod Touch? (I have the RSS feed.)

I have the RSS feed of a podcast that I'd like to download (not just stream) and play on my iPod Touch 4G running iOS 6. I have the Podcasts App (purple icon) and the Music App (brownish-orange icon).
What must I do? When I tap the Podcasts App, It says "You can subscribe to podcasts in Top Charts or the Podcasts Store". Is it possible to bypass Top Charts and the Podcasts Store and just load the RSS feed URL into some app? I don't think the podcast I want to add is found in either Top Charts or the Podcasts Store.

lllaass
You are correct my response was supposed to be completely useless for this thread because it is my pet peeve when somebody says 'iTouch' Please see the picture below to see that the OP did indeed use 'iTouch'.
If you look carefully at your first reply it says 'iPod Touch', looks like they changed it after I said something.
Seeing as I am batting 1.000 might as well ask if you know anything about https://discussions.apple.com/message/21829555#21829555

Can I find out how many people are subscribed to my RSS feed?

Just curious - I don't want to know who they are, or spam them - I'm just wondering about a count.
--drkenfp

There is no way to do this with the default RSS feed URL and iTunes, unfortunately. If you really want to see stats on your subscribers and stuff, you will need to translate your RSS feed to something like FeedBurner and then advertise that URL instead of the iWeb RSS.
Here is an example of my feed:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/dirtdoog
There are lots of stats available through FeedBurner... http://www.feedburner.com

RSS Feed Question

Hi,
I'm thinking of writing a code to notify me of new posts, etc and I am planning to use RSS as source.
I want to know is there any limitation on how many times we can refresh RSS. Does it block IP if I refresh every 10seconds?
Also, how latest are the RSS feeds? Is there any explicit delay set between what we see on forum website and the RSS feed?
Thanks in advance.

In MS Outlook RSS Feeds, you can use RSS Feed URL and there you get notifications. Meaning that, you can receive new post in Outlook and also desktop alert.
Sorry, I don't have answers for your other questions :(

Problems with rss feeds in Firefox.

When i enter an rss feed url into firefox, it automatically switches to safari to open the url. Firefox is my default browser; I am trying to set up rss feeds in Firefox. How do I prevent this from happening so that these urls will open in Firefox?
