having problems with the konqcast?

if you're having problems hearing the konqcasts, try using this rss feed url instead http://radio.kde.org/pub/konqcast/konqcast.rss.

this should get you around the dns issues some are still having.

...it still doesn't work for Amarok. I'm guessing invalid XML still. QDom will helpfully point you the line numbers when you add it in Amarok. ;)

it sure does if you get the rss from the right place. i'm guessing that you're one of the unfortunate people for whome radio.kde.org is resolving to 64.50.238.52 (ftp.osuosl.org) instead of 131.246.120.250 (ktown) ...

this wouldn't be a problem except that ftp.osuosl.org isn't rsync'ing daily properly as it is supposed to. hope to get that little issue sorted out with their admins at the beginning of the week.

for now you could put an entry in /etc/hosts that does:

131.246.120.250 radio.kde.org

Ah ok. DNS problems are the worse. A couple of months ago amarok.kde.org randomly started resolving (half the time) to its IP address from like 9 months prior. :P
