RSS Now Working

The last bug that I need to fix right now is that my RSS feed isn't working on the simulator. I can see all of my podcast episodes that are in my feed but when I click the feed it goes to a blank page that has a link at the top that says back to list and that's it. It should open up the episode and start playing the mp3 correct?? Anyone know what I need to do to fix this? Its for my podcast feed thanks.

If you're using buzztouch v1.4 (you must be, you don't appear to be on the early adopter list) you don't have many options. For RSS Feeds, it's a simple list of 'stories' and tapping a link loads an 'html' page with the story details. If you're loading an HTML page that includes an embedded .mp3 file the behavior is going to depend on lots of things - mostly what type of device is looking at it and what type of HTML you have setup. What happens when you visit the same story URL in the devices regular browser? Does it play? There are tons of ways to set these things up, I think you should jump on the Early Adopter list (see link in your control panel) and begin using v1.5, it has way for flexibility and the documentation could help you figure this out?

Yeah, I'm using 1.4. I tried using 1.5 and it doesn't allow exporting for android. I have a podcast site that stores my feed and my mp3s. I used the RSS reader to add the rss to my app thinking that it would allow you to open up the mp3 but its not working. I really want to have my app pickup my new episodes so my listeners can access the podcast through the app.

@Outdoor - Just so you know, v1.5 for android is scheduled to be released this week. If you can wait a few days, it'll probably be worth it. ;)
