Podcasts Poker Forums

Hi,

Can anyone suggest a way to play the subscription podcast on my Android phone?

Going to http://www.deucescracked.com/podcasts/deuceplays_premium/podcast.xml and logging in works on my PC, but not on my phone.

I really enjoy listening to the podcast on my phone while driving home from work and I'd love to be able to keep doing that now that I'm a subscriber. Thanks!

I don't have an Android phone, but I've heard great things about the DogCatcher podcast app, which should support authenticated feeds: http://www.appbrain.com/app/doggcatcher-podcast-player/com.snoggdoggler.android.applications.doggcatcher.v1_0

Thanks Rob, it does support authenticated feeds but doesn't like your URL for some reason. I'm entering it exactly as in my post above, along with my username and podcast password, and I get a 500 error:

"RSS URL doesn't seem valid: HTTP error received from server, response code: 500."

Anything else you can suggest at all? Thanks for the help.

Update: I ended up just downloading some of the episodes to my PC through iTunes, and then syncing them up with my phone using DoubleTwist. Not ideal but at least I now have some episodes to play on my phone.

By the way, I tried using a couple of other podcatcher apps in addition to DoggCatcher that support premium subscription feeds, but none of them liked the URL and all gave similar errors.

Hmm - can you make sure you're using the right URL (paste it here, including http/https)? I know you said you used the same URL, but a 500 error is an application-broken type of error, and It's working for me via iCatcher (iPhone), so I know it's not the feed. If it's working for you via iTunes then the feed is definitely working, but it's possibly that some Android/other apps try to go about getting the XML feed in a way that isn't supported.

Happy to look into this more but I need more to go off of unfortunately.

Other droid users, can you post what app you've used to grab the podcast on the go?

No worries - I was using http://www.deucescracked.com/podcasts/deuceplays_premium/podcast.xml (exactly as written).

Copy/paste is pretty awkard on my droid, so I was manually typing it in, but I was very careful and did it 9 or 10 times on various apps with the same result.

Edit: I was wondering if the underscore in the URL might be the issue, and did some googling and found a related (I think) issue here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5446578/using-openstream-with-a-url-that-has-a-subdomain-with-an-underscore-in-it-return

Any chance that might be causing the problem?

Ok - let's see if any other Droid users post how they're accessing it. It sounds likely that the Droid apps are doing something nonstandard in how they request the XML (possibly some param they pass or something?) that may be causing breakage. Unfortunately I can't get my hands on a droid for testing purposes, so beyond asking the community to help there isn't much I can do immediately.

What other podcasting apps did you try?

Rob

I tried DoggCatcher, BeyondPod and one other that I've since deleted and can't remember the name of, even searching Android Market again - possibly OneCast?

I'm actually all set now that I can transfer episodes onto my phone, so no hurry here. I understand that you can't do much without a Droid to test on.

Thanks!

In iTunes, you should be able to see a list of all Podcast Episodes in your podcast tab. If you try that and still only see one episode, you may have to right click and select "show all available episodes."

Go to 'podcasts' and click + button in upper left corner
Push 'import feed with URL'
paste www.deucescracked.com/podcasts/deuceplays_premium/podcast.xml into the top field 'http:'
Then put in your ID and password from Deuces Cracked
Worked for me on iphone

I have the exact same problem. When I go to the podcast subscription (http://www.deucescracked.com/podcast_subscriptions) page it asks for a credit card number and displays a button to 'Create My Account', even though I am logged in and have paid the subscription fee.

Hello bladerunr, thanks for your patience. I was able to find the problem with your account and things should be working just fine now.

This Android app says that it works with password-protected podcast feeds:
https://market.android.com/details?id=org.my_pod.mypod

Please note that we can't make warranties about the functionality of apps. In the near future, I will confirm that this or another app works.

I get the same error with that app too. Let me know if you have any luck (no hurry).
