I'm attempting to subscribe to GiantBomb's premium RSS feed through musicbee, but unlike iTunes and Zune Musicbee isin't giving me the option to submit credentials in order to login. The url is http://www.giantbomb.com/videos/feed/hd/10/ and i tried doing what another person suggested in that you do "http://username:password@http://www.giantbomb.com/videos/feed/hd/10/" but it still gives me an unauthorized error.

Is there anyway to fix this? I'd love to use musicbee, but i want my music and podcasts to be all in one app.

Having the same problem here. I can see the content of the podcast but it's grey and I can't open it.

Is there / will there be a solution for podcasts that require login?
Thanks in advance

unzip and replace the existing files. You can enter the password in the subscription settings dialog

Thanks!  It's still not working, but that might be due to the specific podcast (https://premium.zeit.de/itunes/feed)
Best,

I've got one also that still keeps giving the 401 error. I'll keep trying any patches that come down but although MB won't even let me set up the subscription (gets 401 trying to validate the feed url) many programs periodically have trouble with the feed. Because of this I'm content blaming the podcast provider! Just hoping I get lucky and it starts working with MB! For now it's the only reason I keep MediaMonkey around - just a big, bloated podcatcher for one subscription!
