A user, k.ohlhus, is trying to add a YouTube playlist feed to their Discourse forum using the discourse-rss-polling plugin. However, they encountered a problem that seems to be related to “Ruby RSS” and “Media RSS extensions” as described in another thread. simon confirmed that discourse-rss-polling uses the same code as the wellfed-plugin and was unable to pull in the feed on his site, suggesting that the limitation may exist for discourse-rss-polling as well.
Thank you for the discourse-rss-polling plugin. I use it successfully for two blogs. Now I want to add a YouTube feed Octave Tutorial to this Discourse forum https://octave.discourse.group.
There seems to be a general problem with “Ruby RSS” and “Media RSS extensions” as described here
I assume “discourse-rss-polling” uses the same Ruby implementation. I don’t know how “discourse-rss-polling” is related to the “wellfed-plugin”. Does this limitation exist for “discourse-rss-polling” as well?
The two plugins are very similar. The discourse-rss-polling plugin uses the same code to parse the RSS feed as the wellfed plugin. I tried adding the RSS feed that you linked to to my site’s RSS settings. It is not pulling in the feed on my site. I’m not sure if this is something that can be fixed.
Thank you @simon for looking at this
