I have just checked out this feed, which contains a small error: "audio/mp3" is not a valid MIME type, so enclosures using this type are ignored by podcatcher.

Setting "//enclosure/@type" attributes to "audio/mpeg" should fix the problem. Someone should probably make the people at kidztv.com aware of this issue.

hi,

there appears to be a problem with some XML feeds (for example view-source:http://www.kidztv.com/RSS/rvshow.xml).

podcatcher does not seem to be able to cope with syntax like this:
<enclosure url="http://blah/"; length="10" type="audio/mp3"></enclosure>
rather than the more normal:
<enclosure url="http://blah/"; length="10" type="audio/mp3" />

i believe both forms are valid XML.

since this is a function of the rexml stuff in ruby, as far as i can see, it might not be easy to fix.
