Hi Steve, The vPIP Quicktime feed worked fine. It is here:
http://www.mefeedia.com/feeds/37130 The Wordpress feed didn't contain media elements, so won't work in Mefeedia or iTunes (well, you can add it to iTunes, but won't play any episodes). Also, we have a users group here in case anyone else is experiencing issues: http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/mefeedia-users/ Regards, Frank http://www.mefeedia.com - Feed Me Media --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Christian Wach <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi Steve, > > On 22 Apr 2008, at 18:50, Steve Watkins wrote: > > > Could someone help me with a feed issue?
