Bug#624555: rhythmbox: cannot listen to podcasts any more

[Francesco Potortì]

Package: rhythmbox
Version: 2.90.1~20110329-1
Severity: normal

I track the 'testing' repository.  In the last weeks Rhythmbox stopped
downloading podcasts, which it has done regularly for some months.

This is for Rhythmbox 0.12.8.  I went all the way to download the
dependencies for the last version, but nothing changed :(

For example, when I add the feed ad
<http://www.controradiolive.info/podcastgen/feed.xml>
Rhythmbox tells me that

"There was a problem adding this podcast: Unable to parse the feed
 contents.  Please verify the URL:
 http://www.controradiolive.info/podcastgen/feed.xml"
