Is anyone using Atom with the RSS-Media extensions? I've seen Sam
Ruby's message on this list from some time back, indicating that it
embeds well within Atom.

Does anyone have any recent experiences with this combination? Does it
work as well as expected, or are there any rough patches?

Thanks,

I tried to make some test with a Media RSS
http://www.videopolis.com/rss.xml

But i dont know what i've missed, but yahoo is doing a direct link to
the flv files : http://video.yahoo.com/video/play?vid=1113916834

More over this media rss work well in aol video or blinkx so dont know
what to do

Can you help me ?

François

Yahoo! is not giving direct link to FLV, they are providing a player
(html page) instead.

AOL, Youtube also do the same. Blip.tv does provide you flv url, Google
Video provides you media:group element which has multiple media:content
elements for different video-formats (flv, mp4 etc).


Media RSS allows you to have direct content url or/and player...

I really didn't get your question, I looked at your feed media-rss stuff
looks good except there is something wrong in pubDate (RSS element).

Check at:-

Running back through the archives, I'm not seeing a clear answer to
this question....

Why can't we use the MRSS spec to enable a single feed to enclose
multiple "channels" of content, where:

<rss>
<channel>
<item>{first channel}
    {item meta-data} = channel meta-data
    <media:content>{first title}</media:content>
       {media:content meta-data} = title meta-data
    <media:content>{second title}
       {media:content meta-data} = second title meta-data
    etc.
</item>
<item>{second channel}
    {item meta-data} = channel meta-data
    <media:content>{first title, second channel}</media:content>
       {media:content meta-data} = title meta-data
    <media:content>{second title, second channel}
       {media:content meta-data} = second title meta-data
    etc.
</item>
etc.
</channel>
</rss>

This came from extending sample 4 at http://search.yahoo.com/mrss into
a logical framework, based on our understanding of the restrictions of
RSS 2.0 / MediaRSS, and also wanting to provide extended meta-data for
both channels and titles in a single source feed that aggregates other
feeds (i.e. channels).

1) In constructing a sample file of this sort and testing it,
http://feedvalidator.org is indicating this is valid RSS, although
it's not clear if all current MediaRSS tests are strictly adhered to
its the current deployment as of 7/6/07

2) I would understand that current feedreaders are not currently
"programmed" to see multiple <media:content> tags under an individual
<item> tag,.... but maybe they should be?

Any guidance and/or thoughts?

Hi,
Is there a way to send 'deletes' through mrss format ?

What I mean is , suppose if today I send some urls and it has made to
the 'index', is it possible to tell 'delete' this url from index if
needed later?

Thanks,
Murali

Why embed all the channels into the single feed?  Why not use the
<media:content>  or  <enclosure> within a single <item> to point to
another RSS/MRSS feed?  If you use a content-type of text/rss+xml your
feed reader would know it was a 'nested feed' rather than true content
to download.

Another thing I've been playing with in my app is to add a 'feed of
feeds' by having the <enclosure> or <media:content> tag point to a URL
that starts with the pcast:// protocol.

I realize this approach has the downside of an extra fetch and (XML)
parse for each level you drill down, but I think it scales better.  My
concern with the single file approach would be the size of a file you
could potentially build-up by nesting all the feeds into one.

I'm focused on portable devices where performance is limited by XML
parsing speed and memory availability.  Some feeds are already getting
very big, with 100s of episodes.  Nesting the whole of, say, revision3
into a single feed would kill me :P

I agree that the other option we considered was to have 1 channel=1
feed and provide a separate "feed of channel feeds" to aggregate....

Feed size was not such a major consideration, as this was originally
intended as a provider to provider implementation, rather than
provider to consumer focus, although we don't see why it cannot be
used for the latter, if a) readers a MRSS compatible, and b) they
truly support example 4 of the MRSS implementation recommendation...

Implementation of RSS Media extensions in WordPress is long overdue.

Sadly, there appears to be a very palpable gap in communication
between developers of the more advanced feed readers (Miro, FireAnt,
etc.) and the teams working on Podcasting software.

The WordPress community does not appear to understand that this IS
(and will continue to be) a major issue for content producers wishing
to utilize the very attractive WordPress framework. The tools offered
via the Structured Blogging plugin are, in my view, not at all acceptable.

At this writing, you appear to have three options:

1) Write your own plugin (which I for one would be willing to purchase
at a reasonable price 'in a New York minute').

2) Commission the development of such a plugin.

3) Join us in lobbying the team responsible for the popular podPress
plugin to include full support for RSS Media extensions without
further delay.

Please see postings re Media RSS within the podPress User Group (also
on Yahoo!).


M.C.


P.S. Our next best hope would be for the Participatory Culture
Foundation's now dormant "Broadcast Machine" project to find the
funding necessary for its full resurrection.

the last time i was involved in a similar discussion, i tossed up a
sample wordpress blog and posted about custom field usage and editing
the rss template:

http://vastmachine.com/blog/

however, i agree that a proper plugin or even better, native support
in wordpress core.... is needed.

Hi All,

I work for ROO Group. We have a channel on Yahoo at:
http://video.yahoo.com/video/group?gid=1073761131&fr=yfp-t-471

This channel is not being created from our official MRSS feed. We've
tried to submit the new feed via the online form, but it doesn't seem
to be taking (we've waited a few weeks for it to take effect). Anyone
have any ideas on what our next steps should be?

I would love to contact someone at Yahoo and have them replace the
feed driving this channel with the new one.

Also, while I'm here - does submitting one MRSS feed cover all of
Yahoo's properties in other countries? For example, do we need to
submit a separate UK feed that resolves to a .co.uk URL?

Thanks for any advice on how we should move forward!

I came across this note online:
http://forums.feedburner.com/viewtopic.php?t=14466

This posting notes that the correct namespace URL is
http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/, although the spec says
http://search.yahoo.com/mrss.

Additionally, http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/ no longer displays the
specification, while http://search.yahoo.com/mrss does.

What is the official word on this, and if there are errors, when will
they be rectified?

Have you try a 301 redirect ?

I think the issue is that we have no idea where they are picking it up
from - it's not our servers. In any case, I was able to find a contact
at Yahoo this morning and it looks like we're going to be able to take
care of it.

I appreciate the suggestions though.

Hello

I have some videoblogs (wordpress based) and I have modified my rss
feed  for make it compatible with mrss (yahoo media rss). I have
submitted my videoblogs to yahoo video (2 weeks ago) and my vids still
are not indexed.

What can be the problem? I have <enclosure>, <media:content> and
<media:player> (I think these are the most important) for all my video
files, and feedvalidator says my feed is ok. My videos are in .wmv
format. Can somebody please look my feed and check if I have made some
mistake?

One of my blogs is www.spafood.info and the feed url is:
http://www.spafood.info/?feed=rss2

Thanks in advance and excuse me if my english is not very good, Im spanish

Hello for all

I have a sex blog (wordpress based) and I modified my rss feed adding
some tags for make it compatible with yahoo media rss. You can see my
feed here http://www.sexmsncams.com/feed/ (I have followed mrss
specifications and I have checked it at feedvalidator and all is OK)

I submitted it to Yahoo video through web form 1 week ago. My vids
still are not indexed. what can be the reason? Moreover I used the
same rss for another blog I have and:

My videos are indexed but... When a user clicks on the vid, he gets
the vid download. I modified my rss in order to get my vids are play
from my own site. I have seen other channels do this (youtube, blip,
etc..)
I added a <media:player> tag with this purpose but don't work. Is not
the correct tag?

Sorry for my long post and for my bad english, I'm spanish

Thanks in advance

Hi All,

I had created an RSS feed and validated in feed validator and

I can get my stretches done and go over my battle plan in full and

something out of a shitty (but lovely) teen flick\x85 porn music was
playing and she walked with such brisk and determined motion that
her hair flapped in her\x85 hotness aurora.  She's gots eyes that
burn like cigarettes and nails that shine like justice I wanted to
tour her facilities and do so much more than pick up slack. I mean
if you were lucky enough to have sex with her I think God would stop
time and just... give you a high-five.    Unfortunately my manager
who thinks he's a friggen stud decides to move in and shut me down
from the beginning telling her how immature I am and how I'm

<description>Ok, hypothetically speaking, if I was to have a little
shindig in the next month or two, who would be interested in coming
to it, IF invited?  Not saying I'll let you, but I'm just curious.
I know Trix is in, well....cause he always is.   And I know there
are a few locals who could come with no problem.  I'm thinking
something similar to GAB2 at Six Flags...   Let me know and if there
is a good enough response, I shall start the planning.</description>

<description>37 years ago today, my mother and father married.
They've had their ups and downs. They've gone through sickness and
health. They've been supportive of their children. Hell, they even
supported their daughter when she told them she was pregnant at 15.
But at the end of the day, they are still together.
I'll catch my dad looking at my mom sometimes. He'll be looking at
her like it's the first time he's ever seen her. He looks at her
sometimes like a love sick teenager. Of course, there are also times
when he looks at her like he wants to kill her, but that doesn't
happen often.
So I started this thread to tell my dad how much I love him and to
thank him for giving me such a fine example of what a man, a
husband, and a father is supposed to act like.</description>

<description>So like everyone else in Boston, I moved today. Since U-
haul is run by such competent professionals, they completely flaped
up in getting us our large truck last night. I reserved the truck,
but my friends were picking it up, so they called me while I was
working to say they didn't have our truck, but could give us a van
half the size. Bullshuffle, try moving out 4 people on Sept 1 in
Boston with a little cargo van. No sleep, 8 trips through gridlocked
traffic (our move was about 1 mile away) and 12, yes 12 hours of
actually moving, (that is after 6 hours of packing and cleaning) I
am finally done.  Now that all I want to do is sleep, I need to work
again tonight!  How was your Sept. 1 in Boston?</description>

year-old at my local music shop has recommended the following \x96
CORT Earth 100.  Yamaha F700S.  And something called a
Tanglewood.    Sooo, what the fuck is a \x91Venetian cutaway\x92 and
is a 'solid top' important to start with?  Those in the know please
give me some advice. </description>

<description>And what a pain in the ass  this kitten is already!  We
discovered the kitten earlier this morning.  Apparently our cat Zoe
is retarded, because she dug out part of a wall in an unfinished
section of a spare bedroom and gave birth into a big clump of pink
insulation.  So, the kitten was covered in it.  After having the
baby, Zoe came downstairs and kept mewing and mewing, trying to get
our attention.  Then we went upstairs and found it.  This totally
freaked out my daughter, because she thought there was a dead kitten
attached to the live one.  It turned out that Zoe doesn't like the
taste of insulation-covered placenta.  So, I made my daughter pick
off as much of the fuzzy stuff as she could.  (I don't like wasting
food.)  Zoe did eat it after that.  I moved mama and baby downstairs
and finally Zoe is nursing like she should be.  We are hoping that
more babies are born soon, because if not we'll have to take her
into the vet for a $400 exam and ultrasound, and then maybe a costly
C-section.  The vet says it could be a perfectly normal
"delayed labor" and not to freak out too much yet.  So
keep your fingers crossed.  If the kittens have died inside her, I
could have dinner for at least 3 nights this week!</description>

<description>Okay, not really, but that's what I thought when I saw
the title to this article on my favorite movie site.  Given that
this is a Peter Jackson film I would have thought the twins would've
made sure all the competition had "accidents" preventing
them from being in the film.  It's not too late girls; they haven't
started shooting yet.</description>

<description>This morning I went to the gym.  For those of you
unfamiliar with gyms, they're just like medieval torture rooms
except the victims are volunteers.  I spent my first 45 minutes on
an elliptical machine.  For those of you unfamiliar with elliptical
machines, they're devices where you mimic the motion of cross-
country skiing except with no joy whatsoever.  Also, since there was
nothing interesting on the TVs that hang overhead, my time on the
elliptical machine also involved watching fat, sweaty men on
Stairmasters.  (Because looking at that was still more pleasant for
me than looking into the weight-lifting area and seeing really fit
guys picking up women faster than I would be able to introduce
myself).  Anyway, at one point, two very fat kids got on some nearby
elliptical machines.  They were probably about 10 years old.  The
boy explained to the girl, "The tough thing about the
ellipticals is not falling off" and "I'm sweating more
than walking!" which I found slightly amusing.  My attention
drifted off of the kids for a couple of minutes until suddenly I
realized the girl was yelling "help!"    I soon realized
that she was part of some sort of program and was calling for her
trainer to assist her with the machine.  Their conversation went
something like this:  Girl: This exercise isn't working.  Trainer:
On this machine, you have to move to make it work.  Girl: I tried
that, but it didn't help.  Trainer: You have to keep moving.  The
whole time.  Girl: Ohhhhh!    If the kids had been really skinny,
this would have been an amusing anecdote for Reader's Digest or
something.  But given that the kids were morbidly obese, I figure
this story is more up GAB's alley.  Also, note that it's perfectly
acceptable for me to mock hilarious fat kids, since I'm overweight
myself.  It's sort of like how it's fine for black people to use the
n-word.  . . .  Or how the Holocaust was OK 'cause Hitler was part-
Jewish. </description>

<description>I liked it.  Now I'm not a big horror movie fan, and I
didn't worship the original, so take my opinion with that in mind.
Plus I didn't go into the theatre expecting to see Out of Africa or
Citizen Kane.  Still, it had a lot of great, underused actors, and a
really cool kid playing Michael Meyers as a 10-year-old (which was
about half, and the better half, of the movie).  Add to that a good
deal of gratuitous toplessness, some excellent kills, Malcolm
MacDowell and Danny Trejo, and it was a nice way to spend a Sunday
afternoon.  The theatre I went to has about 1,000 seats, a fucking
gigantic screen and a completely overblown sound system, which is
why I went there.  But here's the thing:  out of about 60 people in
the theatre, fully a dozen of them were under the age of 10.  I
swear to you that there were three or four kids in there who were
less than 7 years old.  Who the fuck takes a little kid to see the R-
rated Rob Zombie version of a flick that was over the top in horror
and suspense in its original version 30 years ago?  In the first 10
minutes, Michael (as a 10-year-old) had killed a rat with his bare
hands, cut it apart and flushed it down the toilet and killed a cat,
which he stored in a clear plastic bag in his schoolbag.  In the
next 10 minutes, he killed a schoolmate by bashing him in the head
repeatedly with a tree limb, then killed his mother's boyfriend by
slashing his throat, his sister's boyfriend by beating him with an
aluminum baseball bat, and his sister by repeatedly stabbing her as
she staggered through the house.  You really can't blame him,
though, because he had seen his sister, who was pretty cute, getting
fucked by her boyfriend, who was pretty scuzzy and not really
sensitive to her needs.</description>

<description>My back porch has a roof over the patio and the birds
love to build nests under there because it's next to the pool, so
instant drinking water, bath water, toilet water, whatever, for
them, and also no wind or rain to bother the youngins'.  Usually my
dad will just rip down any nests that are built under there, but
they always come back. Thus far it's only been dirty boring birds
like robins, but recently a Dove built hers under there. Dad grew
fond of it apparently, and let the nest stay.  Well yesterday I
bought me one of these and was playing around with it outside.  I
was close to the nest, but not nearly close enough to bother
anything (I thought), and was also on the outside of the roof. The
helicopter was in the air for a while before mom got scared and took
off, knocking an egg out of the nest.  Now there's dove placenta and
a tiny fetus on my patio... Al? Dibbs?</description>

<description>I had some friends visiting this weekend, from around
NZ and from Germany. Although we called everyone else by their first
names, they insisted on calling me Neep. Because Neep is just me,
apparently.  At first I cringed each time because it was weird, but
now I am completely used to hearing "Neep" out loud.  Do
you guys (apart from Phuc) think you could get used to it?

><description>And what a pain in the ass  this kitten is already!  We
>discovered the kitten earlier this morning.  Apparently our cat Zoe
>is retarded, because she dug out part of a wall in an unfinished
>section of a spare bedroom and gave birth into a big clump of pink
>insulation.  So, the kitten was covered in it.  After having the
>baby, Zoe came downstairs and kept mewing and mewing, trying to get
>our attention.  Then we went upstairs and found it.  This totally
>freaked out my daughter, because she thought there was a dead kitten
>attached to the live one.  It turned out that Zoe doesn't like the
>taste of insulation-covered placenta.  So, I made my daughter pick
>off as much of the fuzzy stuff as she could.  (I don't like wasting
>food.)  Zoe did eat it after that.  I moved mama and baby downstairs
>and finally Zoe is nursing like she should be.  We are hoping that
>more babies are born soon, because if not we'll have to take her
>into the vet for a $400 exam and ultrasound, and then maybe a costly
>C-section.  The vet says it could be a perfectly normal
>"delayed labor" and not to freak out too much yet.  So
>keep your fingers crossed.  If the kittens have died inside her, I
>could have dinner for at least 3 nights this week!</description>

><description>This morning I went to the gym.  For those of you
>unfamiliar with gyms, they're just like medieval torture rooms
>except the victims are volunteers.  I spent my first 45 minutes on
>an elliptical machine.  For those of you unfamiliar with elliptical
>machines, they're devices where you mimic the motion of cross-
>country skiing except with no joy whatsoever.  Also, since there was
>nothing interesting on the TVs that hang overhead, my time on the
>elliptical machine also involved watching fat, sweaty men on
>Stairmasters.  (Because looking at that was still more pleasant for
>me than looking into the weight-lifting area and seeing really fit
>guys picking up women faster than I would be able to introduce
>myself).  Anyway, at one point, two very fat kids got on some nearby
>elliptical machines.  They were probably about 10 years old.  The
>boy explained to the girl, "The tough thing about the
>ellipticals is not falling off" and "I'm sweating more
>than walking!" which I found slightly amusing.  My attention
>drifted off of the kids for a couple of minutes until suddenly I
>realized the girl was yelling "help!"    I soon realized
>that she was part of some sort of program and was calling for her
>trainer to assist her with the machine.  Their conversation went
>something like this:  Girl: This exercise isn't working.  Trainer:
>On this machine, you have to move to make it work.  Girl: I tried
>that, but it didn't help.  Trainer: You have to keep moving.  The
>whole time.  Girl: Ohhhhh!    If the kids had been really skinny,
>this would have been an amusing anecdote for Reader's Digest or
>something.  But given that the kids were morbidly obese, I figure
>this story is more up GAB's alley.  Also, note that it's perfectly
>acceptable for me to mock hilarious fat kids, since I'm overweight
>myself.  It's sort of like how it's fine for black people to use the
>n-word.  . . .  Or how the Holocaust was OK 'cause Hitler was part-

Hello Everyone –

For those attempting to get your questions resolved over recent
months, my apologies for not responding in a timely manner. I traveled
extensively over the summer and avoided the internet as much as I
could. It appears that perhaps my handoff on the work relating to the
specification could have been managed a little better.

Unfortunately, my lack of involvement with Media RSS is probably going
to remain this way for the foreseeable future. I enrolled in Business
School at Boston University for this Fall and thus had to leave my job
with Yahoo!. (For those curious, it's a dual degree program - MSIS and
MBA)

This hopefully shouldn't have too much of an affect on Media RSS
because our esteemed Jeremy Zawodny (jzawodn@...,
http://jeremy.zawodny.com/blog/) has agreed
to pick up the reins for now. I'm catching him up on where things are
in some of the behind-the-scenes action as well as other housekeeping
items related to correcting mistakes and confusion within the
specification itself.

I'd ask that those of you simply inquiring about why your content
isn't in the Yahoo index to contact Phil Yu (pyu@...)
directly. He should be help you out or at least get you in contact
with the correct individual. I think it's best to keep this forum
clearly devoted to specification related issues.

My heart still lies with what we are trying to accomplish and I want
to help out in any way that I can. Don't hesitate to contact me
directly as well. My contact info is below.

It's been a real pleasure working with all of you and I look forward
to more interactions in the future… Especially with those looking for
a MBA intern with programming skillz. ;-)

-David Hall

I have hundreds of videos that i would like to create a mrss feed for
and have no idea of how to create feeds. I am in need of someone who
knows yahoo's mrss code and has experience with creating feeds for
yahoo video. Please contact me at my email travis@... if
you are interested in taking on this small project.

Thanks and Kind Regards

Travis

After talk with other webmasters, all have the same problem. Yahoo
video has stopped of indexing videos through rss via web form
