I copied link address from RSS feed here http://www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/series/comedy. Then clicked ADD button in Rhythmbox podcast and added http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/radio4/comedy/rss.xml

It gave the error that "The feed does not contain any downloadable items".

How to fix this problem?

Thanks.

  • That is correct: at this moment, there are no episodes for this podcast. Try http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/radio4/fricomedy/rss.xml for a podcast that currently does contain episodes. It is not a Rhythmbox problem.

It looks like you're adding the wrong URL. Here is what I did.

Opened Rhythmbox, clicked on Podcasts, and then right click choose New Podcast Feed, as shown in the image below.

Once you get the screen shown below, add the URL (http://www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/series/comedy), and press Search. That will get you all the feeds, and then just choose the one you want.

    Which Rhythmbox version are you using? I'm using 2.96 and it just shows the "URL input" box when I click on New Podcast Feeds. (I don't see the search and subscribe buttons like you do) Anyway my problem got solved. Thanks.

  • Using bbc.co.uk/podcasts/series/comedy doesn't work in version 3.3. What does work is to copy-paste the RSS URL (which can be found via a BBC podcast page's Subscribe button), which should give something like this: podcasts.files.bbci.co.uk/p02pc9x6.rss
