I have managed to get some MSNBC feeds to download correctly from
time to time in my Icon Braille Plus but have trouble getting
them as .mp3 on a regular basis. Almost always I end up with a
file called "QuerySplicedItemContent" which I have to rename
before I can play it. I can only say that the times it sometimes
works is when I have just updated that one feed. Many times
though I still get the odd file name that requires the addition
of the .mp3 extension before it will play. I have only seen this
situation on feeds from the MSNBC site. All other feeds work as
expected. Another clue might be that when the file downloads
correctly in the pod catcher client it has a different name that
includes the broadcast date rather than that
QuerySplicedItemContent name business. Think this bug will need
someone at LevelStar to catch by doing some behind the scenes
debug action while a MSNBC podcast is going through the download
process to determine why it frequently fails to leave us with a
proper named audio file.
Yes, I do have the proper feed address for the nightly news and
some other feeds from that site I have tried with the same mixed
results.
