Zune Software Subscription problems

[stumpy]

Don't know if any one else is having these problems, but here is what's happening to me;

I just installed the Zune software and subscribed to Rev3 Gazzete, Diggnation, Systm, and Tekzilla. I went back to my library to check the download progress and I got an error on all four subscriptions. The error said this;

"Couldn't download the podcast. There might be a network outage or a problem with the podcast. Check that you've entered the podcast URL correctly."

So I put the URL into my browser and was able to see the RSS feed no problems.

Is this an issue with the Zune software or what?

Cheers,

STUMPY

Word Stumpy.
I'm having the same problem.

I also have been having problems with my subscriptions in Zune and the Revision3 website through Microsoft's ISA Server earlier as well. That got resolved but I still can't get any updated podcasts. This happened last time there was some changes to the website.

[stumpy]

I hope they get it fixed, because its bugging the hell out of me to download every show manually...

I awoke this morning to all of my favorite Rev3 shows loaded and ready in my Zune software and copied to my Zune. I just checked the dates on the file and it shows that they arrived at 1:05 am. Don't know what changed but though that I would include this information so the Rev3 team knew what they did to fix it.

[stumpy]

Yeah same here. It seems it just started working all of a sudden. Whatever, as long as its working.

I am still having this issue.

systm, tekzilla and diggnation.

Any updates on the issue?

Thanks

I had this problem a few days ago, then it started working for a couple of days, now it's broken again. Fix this soon please.

[chuckles]

We're aware of the issue and were looking into it.

So glad it's not just me. I'm having the same problem with the Zune software and my Zune 30. Really screws up the sync when it takes forever and still doesn't sync. Can't even play Rev3 shows through to the end using just the software.:confused:

(Hopefully it's more of a priority now that Zune is a sponsor of Diggnation.)

[shoq]

I hear you as well. It goes in and out for me. I have the Zune software on my work laptop and sometimes it doesn't work at my office. At those times, the whole website due to headers on the site that my corp's proxy servers don't like. I am currently looking at my Zune software and I have errors for all my favorite Rev3 shows. I know Zune is up-to-date but it still can't verify that there aren't any changes. Fairly frustrating for me.

[chuckles]

We just fixed the issue. For those who are using the Zune Marketplace, could you please verify that it working?

Thanks.

Yep! Seems to be working now thanks! This is for Diggnation and The Totally Rad Show

When I subscribe to Tekzilla via the Zune Marketplace it downloads fine. I can play it in the Zune software, but it won't sync to the actual Zune. I am referring to WMV Large, btw.

The small version syncs and works fine, but I really prefer the Large version.

When I subscribe by copy and pasting the feed link for Tekzilla Large WMV from the Rev3 website it doesn't download correctly. I always get an error.

Do you have it set to automatically sync podcasts? If not, you can just right-click on the video and manually sync it. As for the feed link, are you sure you pasted the link correctly (ie: no extra characters/white spaces at the end)?

Ever since the new firmware/software up date the small wmv feed of the video podcasts has to covert to sync with the zune. It was never like this before and I want it to not have to waste time and cycles converting. Please help. Thank you.

[RotatingHornSection]

I waited a week to see if there was any change before replying.

This is the first time it synced since I resubscribed 3 or 4 episodes ago. Everything works fine now.

The zune RSS feed uses the large wmv. Try that instead.

No that didn't work, it still needs to be converted before it will sync. Can anyone else recommend anything.
