followed this guide all the way through and everything works except for when i click on the rss button from the psp. it gives an error "The channel could not be added. (80431072)" I talked to the guy that made psp rss feeder and he said its probably related to how the server interprets xml files.

any ideas? if you'd like to test my server you can shoot me an email at dirtyshoes7 AT NOSPAM hotmail.com 'cause it not very law friendly for you to be streaming but you are still aloud to access it. ...we'll work out the details...

Ha. It's because so far the PSP has only "music" rss feeds. Not real ones. If you go to psp.thesims2.com (on your psp...) you will see a podcast link at the top for songs, and try that out because that will work. It's actually pretty interesting, but very basic. Hey, it's Sony for ya.

Yes... The RSS feed needs to be a 2.0 digital music feed... aka podcast. News and video feeds dont work.

I have a similar setup using iTunes and PHP. I can stream any album to my PSP as a RSS feed.

yea, all of what i am trying to do is mp3 or wma. I have of course enabled this in my psp (wma). there might be some windows media pictures crapped into these folder but i doubt that would effect it. Also, i can download a song from my rss however it wont stream.

Hmmm.. Interesting you can download it. I would open the XML feed up in internet explorer. Here's something I made. Look at the bold part. You should be able to cut and past that into your media player and have it play that. If it doesnt work in your media player, then the reference to the file is wrong. If it does work, then the issue could be the XML itself. Try comparing it to my example, as I know it works.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<rss version="2.0">

I feel your pain Having the same issues. If I make an xml file and host just that, I can add it as an RSS feed But when I try to stream it on PSP's RSS it says connection to the server failed or something like that. I have looked at every forum there is (so far) and nothing. i.e. apprilium, php,phphack,so on and so on, no response I dont know if abyss webserver can do what we want. dont know?!!!!!! let us know if you find something I will do the same. northwst AT NOSPAM hotmail.com

Well if it's creating XML that you can open on your PC, than it's not a PHP issue. It sounds like your PHP file is working correctly.

Try cutting and pasting the Enclosure URL value into your browser. From my example, it would be link Danger Mouse/GTA Liberty City Stories Theme/A Dark March.mp3

If it plays in your browser, than the issue is the formation of your XML feed (it can work in your browser, but not in the PSP). If it doesnt, than that is the problem.

I had to change permissions on my music folder. I had to give the "Internet Guest Account" full permissions on that folder and it's sub folders to make it work.

Thanks for the feed back I am not sure what you are asking, but I can play the files in the browser it uses quicktime embeded player if could have a look at it here is the link. link "edited"
Just for testing purposes If anyone downloads the files its not my fault. Thank you in advance.

I did copy and paste the enclosure url from the xml that the php file makes and it DOES play in the browser is it not suppose to? and how do I fix it

ok if I put the xml file that the php creates in my server's reach it works. but, I think this is how the php file is creating the RSS/XML file it is making a temp sub folder as " blah blah/index.php?feed=1&folder=./Classical"
and I think the psp cant handle that correct me if I am wrong please.If it can that means the server needs to see that right? if so how do I do that?
Also if you need the PHP file that I am using its yours.

I noticed this: <copyright>© 2006 northwst</copyright> It sits between image and item. I dont know if the copyright tag should go there or not. I know I am not using it mine.

Also <description>text</description> is set as a property of <item> In my code, I have description as part of the channel.

Make those changes and lets see what happens.

I'm not really sure what you mean with the subfolder comment... Can you explain it a bit more?

And are you using my feed? I didnt think I shared it with anyone. It should be called something like "RSS Conduit for iTunes"...

I have an issue with funny characters in the names... Like #1 and such... It causes my feed to throw an error. How are you taking that into consideration?

I can stream the audio in my browser too... So the permissions should be correct on the folder.

As far as the xml file working it does. I can save the xml file that the php file creates and then host that, and my psp will work with it.(now anyway after talking to you). but the problem I think is how the php file handles the XML/RSS file as it is being created. the browser says it it is located at "http://blah.blah.blah/index.php?feed=1&folder=./Classical"for example. I dont think the PSP can find this file. I am not sure why, but I am looking on the PHP website to find an anwser hopefully. thank you again for your insight.

ok I gave up on using php I have it working now used a vbs script to write the xml files and then manually put them onto the server. Thank you for your help anyway. Anyone who wants help with this go here and ask in the forum. link
