Really frustrated that the embedded video posts I’ve used Ustream.tv to record don’t seem to show up in my RSS feed. Videos posted from either Google’s YouTube or Microsoft’s Soapbox work fine!?!?
I use Feedburner to handle my RSS feed from my WordPress blog – anyone else run across this?

Rick,
We’ve seen intermittent problems with the recording function. If you want to describe them in detail, I can pass them along to the technology team for further investigation. Thanks for being a Ustream user–we want to help!

Chris,
Thanks for offering assistance! While I’ve not seen any issues with the recording functionality, it’s the video not showing up in my RSS feed. The record functionality on the broadcast applet has worked very well for me, not causing any confusion or concern.
To see what I mean, have the tech team add my RSS feed to their favorite reader (I use Google Reader) and view my feed. The posts with embedded Ustream.tv videos do not display the video content, while posts with embedded YouTube and Soapbox videos do.
I’ve used the standard embed code offered on the Ustream.tv page for the video in question, so I’ve added/altered nothing specific to the video.
I’m willing to try suggestions and experiment to help solve this issue with your team – just say the word.
