Hey,
I've added a RSS-feed via Videos -> Files -> Add Videos. The content of the feed is shown correctly by Kodi, but Kodi is unable to playback the videos in the feed.
The feed's URL as I found it on the website was: https://www.neo-magazin-royale.de/zdi/rss.xml so I changed it to rss://www.neo-magazin-royale.de/zdi/rss.xml

This might be a relevant part from the 01_KODI.log

Any idea why Kodi doesn't play the videos?
My presumption is that Kodi is looking for a .strm file or real video file with an acceptable extension. Internet video and audio streams (wiki) and the correct path "Open failed with code 404" usually means that the URL is incorrect.
I've found the correct link for the podcast here.
The link for Kodi thus reads as: rss://www.zdf.de/rss/podcast/video/zdf/c...oehmermann
