should accept feed:// urls

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1) Log in to Hulu via Safari 3 or Safari 4 Beta
2) Fire up an Understudy (0.6.5) enabled Front Row
3) Add feeds for Hulu subscriptions and queue
4) Try to view either one and nothing happens

What is the expected output or result?

1) seeing my Hulu queue and/or subscriptions

What do you see instead?

A header for the queue or subscriptions with nothing under it. It says 
"Loading" for a brief moment, then nothing else comes up. Lots 
of network activity if my router front panel is to be believed. I also tried 
(not expecting it to change anything, and it didn't) Front Row 
to allowed applications in my System Preferences > Firewall.

Please provide any additional information below, including any relevant URLs.

I tried this with alerts disabled as well, but no change. Note that I added a 
feed for most popular: all time, and I can see that just fine.

I am experiencing this too.

Mac Mini PowerPC G4, Leopard 10.5.6, Front Row 2, Understudy 0.6.5

I can add standard feeds like "Recently Added" and "Most Popular" but my 
personal Queue and Subscriptions 
do not show anything once added.  I've also noticed that for some reason when I 
copy the URL of my Queue or 
any other page in Hulu to my clipboard and then try to add them to Understudy I 
get an error that the 
contents of the clipboard does not refer to a supported video provider.  Not 
sure if this has anything to do 
with the error above but thought I'd add it just in case.

It sounds like you might be adding the URL for the queue webpage, not the RSS 
feed.
The url should look something like http://www.hulu.com/feed/queue/jonm42 and not
http://www.hulu.com/profile/queue

Shouldn't the default add "do the right thing"? I'll try adding my queue 
manually using the suggested form and 
get back to you.

Confirmed the pre-constructed ones don't work, but adding them by hand and they 
work like a champ.

Tried manually adding without success.  Going into "Add Feed", then "from 
clipboard" tells me "Not a URL.  
The clipboard contents do not appear to be a valid URL".

The clipboard had this first:
feed://www.hulu.com/feed/queue/danetidwell

Then this:
www.hulu.com/feed/queue/danetidwell

Both of which gave the error above.

Fixed -- well, not really a fix, more of a "i read the instructions all the way 
through".  Safari automatically 
changes to feed://... or www... when browsing.  Copying that will give the 
error.  Changing it to http://www.... 
makes the feed work in Understudy.

Glad to see that the URL's do ultimately work, but it would be more intuitive 
for
Understudy to accept the feed:// URL too. I'm going to hijack the issue for 
that purpose.
