Feed URL Not Validating In Feed Validator
« on: August 28, 2013, 11:01:40 am »
I'm really not sure how to get this fixed? Just published my first episode which is playing on the site for me here,
but no one else seems to be able to. I really need to get this worked out; has been one embarrasing situation.
Below is the info from Feed Validator on the URL.
Thanks

Message

HTTP Error
Explanation

Your feed couldn't be validated because there was a problem downloading it from the web server. You should try to diagnose this using a web browser, and make sure that the URL you supplied resolves to an accessible file.

This usually means that the URL was wrong, or that permissions on the server don't allow us to fetch that file. The error shows the message that the server sent, which may help.
Solution

Make sure this URL can be downloaded with a browser, then try again.


Message

Unable to validate namespace: http://namespace.uri/. See the foo specification at http://namespace.uri/specification
Explanation

Even though the feed validator has build in support for quite a large number of popular namespaces, you somehow managed to have found one that the feed validator does not (yet) support.
Solution

The feed validator is unable to verify the correct usage of this namespace. Either it is not well-specified, there are no test cases to demonstrate correct use or it just hasn't been implemented.

Please consult the specification for correct use of this namespace.

If you know of a namespace that you feel that the feed validator should support, let us know. Please include in your request a pointer to the documentation for the namespace. Such documentation should describe the XML elements and attributes defined for this namespace. More information and the status of current requests can be found on the wiki.

There is no episode in your feed, so the feed is 404. which is default WordPress behavior.

Follow the steps here (http://create.blubrry.com/resources/powerpress/using-powerpress/creating-your-first-episode-with-powerpress/) how to create your first podcast, I think there may be a disconnect between your blog post and putting the URL to your first episode in the "Episode Entry box". The Media URL field is the special sauce that turns a blog post into a podcast episode. Otherwise it's just media on a web page.
