I have been trying to subscribe to Hoyhablamos podcasts using MusicBee without success.
The feed (if I go to the site, right click and examine properties) is at:- https://www.hoyhablamos.com/feed,  although the site creator has advised that it is https://hoyhablamos.com/podcast.

Neither works for me in Music Bee (and nor does https://www.hoyhablamos.com/feed/podcast). If I go to 'subscriptions' and ‘add subscription link’ followed by any of the above URL’s, the info button says ‘unable to verify the validity of this URL – Invalid URL. The format of the URL could not be determined’. Changing the https to http does not work either.

If I go to ‘subscriptions’ and use the ‘Search Podcast directory’ button and search under Education and then type in 'Hoyhablamos', it does show up as available in the iTunes directory - but the 'subscribe ' button is greyed out (the website indicates that downloads are available for both iTunes and Android but there is no RSS button). I have been advised that it may be because the feed is https rather than http, but there could be some other cause. Can anyone suggest a fix or explanation for this?

Website is Hoyhablamos.com and I am running Windows 10 (64 bit) Home edition.
I have similar issues with the website Vein ndos – the search facility in MusicBee recognises it in the iTunes directory, but again the ‘subscribe’ button is greyed out. It too is https rather than http.

are you using the latest version from the downloads page: 3.1.6590 or above

Thank you! I had thought that I was on the latest version but found that I was on 3.0.6132. Updating MB has solved the problem with HoyHablamos.
 
I have also tried subscribing to Vein ndos (which now appears in the MB iTunes directory with a 'live' subscription button). However, only one episode is downloaded when I subscribe (and the others do not register at all). I suspect that this is something to do with their website, but any ideas as to how to subscribe to the other ep[isodes would be welcome.

Regards & thanks again
