You're missing the slash on the closing <endIndex>.

Running your feed through an XML validator can usually help hunt down parsing errors. My favorite is http://www.w3schools.com/xml/xml_validator.asp

This page contains the following errors:
error on line 23 at column 11: Opening and ending tag mismatch: endIndex line 0 and item

I've fixed the missing slash, but it's still not parsing.

I entered my rss into that validator and I get "Error: Object # has no method 'load'" but then, when I load the RSS feed that the Roku example uses ( rokudev.roku.com/rokudev/examples/videoplayer/xml/globalissues.xml ) it also gets the same error from the validator.

I should note that the roku xml does work in my app.

Update: I moved the xml files from staging to the normal server, thinking it could be a permissions issue. Even then, it still won't parse. I also made a copy of the working Roku example rss and stored it locally, and it won't work either. Does the demo app have some sort of server configuration piece that's stopping it from loading any RSS feeds that I'm hosting?

[RokuChris]

You need to paste the XML into the validator, not the URL. But in addition to the endIndex problem, all your opening <item> tags are self-closing when they shouldn't be.

Ah! That did the trick.

Thanks so much!!

RokuChris !!!

Thank you so much !!! I was having the same problem... the issue was within my Synopsis.. You can NOT have extended characters ANYWHERE within the XML. Jack & jill does not work... it must be Jack AND Jill...


Thanks again !!

Jack &amp; Jill work in xml.
