Hi Group,

As far as I have been able to tell this API just does not properly
support media feeds like podcasts and vodcasts.

I know Blogger will give/generate special podcasting enclosure links
for podcasters and Feedburner has its own way of detecting media
content (and tools for podcasters) so it would only make sense to want
to see this ability on the AJAX Feed API.

Sample from BMW >> http://vodcast.bmw.com/rss will generate the
enclosure tag but the feed API does not return data (the url) for this
tag.

Anyone else wanting to get more from feeds? I had added a temp
workaround method for podcast feeds in my API toolbox but when pushed/
syndicated through feedburner it has the opposite effect of breaking
podcast feeds with this current API. I use the Gadgets API for
fetching XML content (over feed data) to side step this issue on the
gadgets platform (and a very popular gadget also!) but this Google
feed API does not support fetching XML alone as far as I know. My own
server side feed/JSON/JSONP API script does this but I have been
migrating over the the Google one and don't want to run multiple back
end services that do similar things. (mine also handles xspf >>
http://www.xspf.org/)

So, Please Google, give the villagers access to enclosure or media
tags or something as part of the REST/JSON/JSONP portion at least ;-)
I have some neat plans for it. Many thanks in advance. :-)

Cheers!
