Bug#756461: rhythmbox: Atom feed recognised, but error “Unable to load the feed”

[Ben Finney]

Package: rhythmbox
Version: 3.0.3-1+b1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

When asking Rhythmbox to load an Atom feed, the feed is found but not
read, and an error occurs.

The example feed URL I used is <URL:http://www.irreligiosophy.com/?feed=atom>.

* Confirm that the feed is a valid Atom feed:

  <URL:http://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.irreligiosophy.com%2F%3Ffeed%3Datom>

* In Rhythmbox, use “Podcasts” → “Add” → enter the URL of an Atom feed

    e.g. “http://www.irreligiosophy.com/?feed=atom”

  * Rhythmbox finds the feed.

  * But it produces an error:

    “Unable to load the feed. Check your network connection.”

  * The title is not read, and no episodes are read from the feed.

Since the Atom document is valid, Rhythmbox should read the title,
episodes, icon, and media URLs, as for any other feed.
