Podcast Question regarding password protected RSS feeds.

haveapez · 01-30-2008, 12:50 PM

I subscribe to a wrestling/MMA/fighting podcast and I pay monthly for the site. I put in the RSS feed, but it won't let me download because with iTunes I always needed to put in my username and password. Can someone tell me how to do that on Zune software?

Good question, I would try this:

rss://yourusername:password@therssurl.rss

An alternative method would be to use an RSS podcast client to download the podcast to a location you've set the software to monitor.

Thanks Greg, but that didn't work for me. I tried it twice. However, what I did was subscribe to the podcast in iTunes, and it automatically downloads it. Then I subscribed when it shows up in my podcast section on Zune softwares and then it updates on it's own. I'd rather not have to use iTunes in the first place to set it up, but it did the job.
