Hi everyone! I'm new here, but love the librivox project!

Anyway, I registered an account here to discuss an issue I was having. So I was subscribing the rss podcast feeds with a podcast app (pocketcast) and noticed that some feeds don't have a pubDate attached (see example below):

Code: Select all

<item>
...
<pubDate><!-- file element=rss.pubDate --></pubDate>
...
</item>
This causes some podcast apps to do weird things when adding the feed. Out of the ones I tried, Pocketcasts and Clementine errored, and antennapod displays the date for all of them as the current date when adding.

I was wondering if you could use a volunteer to go through and fix these feed files (or database) so that it works. (I'm volunteering.) For example just adding arbitrary dates so that they are in order.

Hi swalladge,

Could you give us an example of a LV rss feed that is missing the pubDate?
