Hi, I have my files hosted and I thought it would be easy to use JWplayer (since I’m familiar with it) to host the URL’s to my content in a playlist. I have tried JWPlayer’s RSS and JSON output with no luck. When the feed URL is listed in the Direct Publisher settings, I get the following error message "The feed format is invalid. We are unable to parse it."
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you!
Usually with that error, it means there is a coding error. If you want to either post your feed here or send it to me in a PM I will have a look at it.
Below is a random bit of code I’ve been trying to test with.
Code: Select all
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rss version="2.0" xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" xmlns:jwplayer="http://rss.jwpcdn.com/">

Thank you!
You might need to remove the “isPermaLink=“false”” from the guid element
Change “-0000” to “GMT” in the pubDate element
You are missing the media:title</media:title> element
You are missing the media:description</media:description> element
You are missing the media:category</media:category> element or media:keywords</media:keywords> element
You are missing the duration flag under the media:content</media:content> element.
You might need to remove type=“video/mp4” from the url flag under the media:content</media:content> element.
That is what I see so far.
Try to something into media:description
Can you remove media:group? If might be cancelling everything between.
Try this link instead:
Ah, it seems it doesn’t like secure links (https). That fixed the issue.
Thank you!
