FAQ
Does Podcast Player cache RSS feed data?
No. The Podcast Player doesn’t cache your RSS feed. It retrieves the latest information directly from the feed when the widget loads, so updates appear right away.
Why aren’t my RSS feed episodes appearing in the widget?
Podcast Player supports episode audio URLs only in the <enclosure> tag. If your RSS feed stores them in <link> or <content> tags, the episodes won’t appear in the widget.
Each episode is defined in an <item> section of the RSS file. Make sure the direct audio URL is added to an <enclosure> tag within that section:
<enclosure> tag and the general RSS file structure, check out the W3Schools XML RSS Guide.
If you manage the RSS file yourself, add each audio URL to an <enclosure> tag as shown above. Then follow our instructions to Fix and Resave an RSS File. Upload the corrected file to a server and add its new link to the widget.
If your RSS feed is generated automatically and you can’t edit it, contact your podcast provider. Ask them to add each episode’s direct audio file URL to a valid <enclosure> tag.
