Bug Description

Binary package hint: banshee

Banshee fails to subscribe to an RSS podcast, whose <title> tag is empty. Test case

http://kingworldnews.com/kingworldnews/Broadcast_Gold+/rss.xml

Banshee will not subscribe to this feed

I have reworked that podcast at the following address:

http://www.315-web.com/kingworldnews.php

The only difference between the original and the copy is that the latter has a proper <title> tag. In this case Banshee subscribes, sees the new episodes and downloads the latest one.

gPodder can subscribe to the original feed. Rhythmbox cannot, so maybe there's a common component or underlying library between rhythbox and banshee that is failing in this case.

$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 9.04
Release: 9.04
Codename: jaunty

$ apt-cache policy banshee
banshee:
  Installed: 1.5.1-1~hyper1~jaunty
  Candidate: 1.5.1-1~hyper1~jaunty
  Version table:
 *** 1.5.1-1~hyper1~jaunty 0

        100 /home/lnieves/tmp/lib/dpkg/status
     1.4.3-3ubuntu2 0
        500 http://mirror.switch.ch jaunty/universe Packages

As you can see I'm using a PPA version of banshee (1.5.1) but the same problem was present in the original jaunty version (1.4.3) ad that was the reason I upgraded banshee.

Oh well, I had already filed a bug against totem-plparser12 for the rhythmbox problem: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=600058 I didn't mentioned it here, since this bug report was originaly about banshee and not rhythmbox.
