RSS feed links broken - Anthirian - 2014-07-09
Hi,
The RSS feeds from the addons section on the homepage seem broken. The headers are updated just fine, but when you actually try to view the content you receive a FeedBurner error. For example, I try viewing the details about the Vine addon that was recently updated according to the feed, which brings me to the following page: http://feeds.xbmc.org/plugin.video.vine. It looks like it tries to load plugin.video.vine from the feeds subdomain, while it would need to load it from the addons subdomain, so I tried changing it to http://addons.xbmc.org/plugin.video.vine, but then I get a 404.
Edit: apparently switching the subdomain to "addons" and adding the "show" parent folder to the URL will bring you to the correct page, e.g. http://addons.xbmc.org/show/plugin.video.vine . This seems like an issue that can be resolved fairly quickly once the feed admin sees this.
I mistakenly posted this in the Addons Support subforum quite a while ago, but it appears to be more appropriate here. Could a moderator would be so kind as to remove the other topic please?

Yes thats something to do with the extra Feedburner link as the code shows a relative path.
It works fine if you use the direct RSS page link.
I'd wait to see what Da-anda thinks is best.

huh, the baseUrl/domain was missing in the configuration and thus all links got created relative. Should be fixed on next feedburner update.

Thanks for picking this up. It seems like it's partially fixed now. Links to e.g. Films for Action now look like this:
http://addons.xbmc.org/plugin.video.filmsforaction?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+updated_xbmc_addons+%28Updated+XBMC+Add-Ons%29
However, the /show/ folder is missing from the URL. It should be like this:
http://addons.xbmc.org/show/plugin.video.filmsforaction?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+updated_xbmc_addons+%28Updated+XBMC+Add-Ons%29
Although this too doesn't seem to work, because I don't get to see the the disclaimer instead of the actual addon. Maybe it has to do with the utm_arguments?
