@Douglas, Dean
The latest development version over at the google code site (
http://mobilecast.googlecode.com/) supports password protected feeds. It doesn’t prompt you for passwords, you have to enter them as part of the url eg:
http://my_username:my_password@some.feed.server/protected/podcast.xml

@Brooke – we’re still working on the search function, hoping to have it working in the development snapshot shortly.

When I try to add the feed for the Bob and Tom podcast it should come up and ask for my username and password but it says “invalid feed.” Does this not support username and password rss feeds?

@Brian…one of the developers has emailed me and said that in “the next version of mobilecast we are planning a search function that will simplify the discovery & addition of podcasts.” So that is pretty sweet…keep your eye out for the next update!!

2.2.3 had an issue with playback of certain video feeds. This has been corrected in the latest development version which is available from our google code project site.

Brian, for the next release of mobile cast we are planning on adding a search function that will simplify the discovery and addition of feeds. Today you can add rss 2.0 feeds or import OPML.
best regards,
–Frank (mobilecast developer)
