Ubuntu – How to add BBC podcasts to Rhythmbox

podcastrhythmbox

I copied link address from RSS feed here http://www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/series/comedy. Then clicked ADD button in Rhythmbox podcast and added http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/radio4/comedy/rss.xml

It gave the error that "The feed does not contain any downloadable items".

How to fix this problem?

Thanks.

It looks like you're adding the wrong URL. Here is what I did.

Opened Rhythmbox, clicked on Podcasts, and then right click choose New Podcast Feed, as shown in the image below.

Once you get the screen shown below, add the URL (http://www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/series/comedy), and press Search. That will get you all the feeds, and then just choose the one you want.
