When I try to add a podcast I get a message like this: There was a problem adding this podcast: Unable to parse the feed contents. Please verify the URL: http://rfi.fr/radiofr/podcast/trancheMonde.asp I've just tested these and other podcasts which fail to load in a x86 (the one that fails is amd64) machine and they worked. I couldn't find any different gst-plugin installed in that machine and the rhythmbox version is also the same. Maybe some gnome library missing? I don't have gnome in the machine I get the error. I though it could be this bug: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=524967 However, the version of totem-pl-parser I have in both machines is the same.

Hum works just fine on my amd64 laptop. Which version of totem-pl-parser do you have installed ?
totem-pl-parser-2.24.4 I don't know if it can be related, but I also can't edit the tags of my mp3 files.
mp3 tagging is unrelated. Could you list which gstreamer plugins you have installed by running eix -I gst-plugins for example ? You might want to try installing gst-plugins-soup and see if it fixes your problem.
please get back to us.
Installing gst-plugins-soup didn't solve the problem.

I've emerged gnome-base/gnome and now podcasts are working. However, I have no clue on which package was missing.
If you have the list of packages that was merged while installing gnome, it might give a clue. You can get this with qlop or genlop or greping through emerge.log.
Created attachment 202217 [details] List of packages that were merged while installing gnome
I sure can't see what in this list would make it suddenly work. Maybe nautilus-cd-burner/brasero or libgtop, but that's all I can think of (even that is already far-fetched). According to the log, the error would be in totem-pl-parser but that's not even listed in your log nor any of its dependencies. Anyway unless you want to debug this issue further, which would involve working with gdb, I'll close this worksforme as this is the case for you now. Feel free to re-open if you even encounter this bug again.
