I'm working on adding a YouTube feed to my first TapLynx app but it doesn't seem to be working. In the tab I've configured with the feed's URL, all I'm seeing is an empty list view. I expected to at least see the article titles even if the video doesn't load in the simulator. Is the wiki article (http://wiki.taplynx.com/wiki/RSS#Youtube) still correct? I've gotten the same result with both URL schemes and I've tried it in both TapLynx 1.4.4 and 1.5. The feed displays in my browser and I don't see any errors in the Xcode console when it's running in the simulator so it appears to be valid.

Has anyone gotten YouTube feeds working?

Can you provide the exact URL you are entering in your NGConfig.plist file?

YouTube feeds generally work fine in TapLynx 1.44 and 1.5. However, when you get into specific playlists and favorites it can get tricky.

Sure, I'm using feed://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/base/users/TheTylerPaper/uploads for my feed.

The NGConfig cannot parse feed://. see if changing it to http:// will take care of the issue.

Doh! Yep, that's all it took. Thanks for catching that.
