Is it a bug or what?

There's an error on that site, if you go to that RSS feed in a browser, it returns an error.

 

[Neutral Singh]

yeah, it is same rss feed which worked in 1.5 and now it doesn't ...

XF 1.5 or 2.1 does not have anything to do with it, the site that is providing the feed has a error.

What is the error?

 

[Neutral Singh]

the site that is providing the feed has a error.

The feed is being generated from within the xenforo media section...

It looks like XFMG 2.0 doesn't actually include support for RSS feeds. Whether that's intentional or an oversight, I've no idea.

 

[Neutral Singh]

For that matter, if I click on the RSS feed icon at the home of xF.com forums... I get this result... infact, this happening at every xF forum page...

@Chris D, is there any solution to this problem?

 

[Chris D]

On the topic of XFMG, it is correct that we don't have any RSS feeds there anymore.

On the topic of Firefox, that seems to be a change of behaviour on their side. They used to have a built-in RSS reader but it has since been removed. You would need a browser add-on to replace the functionality.

 

[Neutral Singh]

😢 Any workaround? I wanted to create threads pointing to videos added in the media gallery...

 

[Neutral Singh]

Please move this thread to Add-on Requests section. Thank you

That's a shame, RSS feeds from the media gallery can be useful as you can plug that into a system like https://dlvrit.com/ to automate the posting of media content from your forum to sites like twitter with accompanying hashtags. This creates a setup and forget advertising tool where users on other social media sites have a chance to discover your content and then visit your forum.

Woohooo! This issue seems to have been resolved in xF 2.1.3.
Now, I am able to import media items into my own forum's threads!
Thank you
