View Full Version : Some Podcasts Downloaded Without File Extensions

I recently set up subscriptions to a few video podcasts with Replay AV and some of them are saved without file extensions.

Here's an example of a couple that have missing file extensions:

Here's an example of a similar podcast that is downloaded with a proper file extension:

All of the podcast settings are identical except for the feed URL and I have a unique "album tag" (the other tags are left blank for the default).

There doesn't seem to be a way to create my own filename using information from the RSS feed so I'm at a loss as to what to do to correct the problem.

I believe I've found the problem...

One of my feeds had some recordings with file extensions and some without. The feed is:

It appears that if the show's name is too long, Replay AV will save without a file extension!

Is there a work-around? This would seem to be a major, and fixable, issue. I can't believe I'm the only one to experience this.
