RSS Feed Errors

[zygote]

Version vBulletin 4.2.2
PHP: 5.2.5

Does anyone know why the rss feed is returning this error
XML Error: Unknown Feed Type at Line 0

Here is the URL
http://api.steampowered.com/ISteamNews/GetNewsForApp/v0002/?appid=730&count=3&maxlength=3&format=xml

And is there a quick fix I can apply, to help weed out any code that might be invalid?

Thanks

Is this a rss for your site, or one from another site?

the posted RSS Feed is from another site...

Yeah there is no way to stop errors like that, they happen randomly. I would just set the feed up, and let it run on it's own, and see if they actually post in the forum you designate.

So it is just this feed? Other feeds work?
I have mine set up like this

Yoursite title Feeds - Your source for what ever your site is!

{feed:description}
{rss:content:encoded}

More... ({feed:link})

I have seen this happen with various feeds, but it only seems to show up when you set the feed up, or edit it, and then click on preview. If you just set it and let it run, most of the time it works.

It in not something in vB causing it, it is something in the feed that is the issue, but like I said, generally letting it run, works.

Then it is a issue with the feed, nothing you can do about it.

[RichieBoy67]

Yeah, I have had issues with certain feeds on occasion as well. I just wasn't sure as to the issue and what exactly was happening or if constant.

[ozzy47]

Rich, you should check out the post on my site to get the full text in the feeds, it is pretty cool, no more short feed posts. :)
