Hello detlef team,

I noticed that the following feed does not appear in the gpodderson application when synchronizing from gpodder.net

http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/base/users/StanfordUniversity/uploads?alt=rss&v=2&orderby=published&client=ytapi-youtube-profile

I have subscribed to the feed from the website, and installed and configured the app on both my phone (Samsung S3 mini) and my tablet (Samsung note 10.1) and no matter how many times I add and remove the feed, it does not appear in the list of podcasts. It does sync on gpodder desktop, though, but it had an empty description or sth similar.

Thanks for your work! Thomas

I tried it out in the working branch, and there the feed shows up, but the episodes don't.

I guess it has something to do with this TODO in the code: https://github.com/gpodder/detlef/blob/master/detlef/src/at/ac/tuwien/detlef/domain/FeedUpdate.java#L87

Youtube feeds are atypical feeds because the feed items don't contain enclosure tags. Maybe we can fix this by creating an enclosure programmatically for youtube feeds.

This won't be easy though, because the youtube-url's have to be converted to an rtsp url. Maybe the mygpoclient library contains some magic for this?
