aha - after you add the feed, you have to press
"refresh feed" then the items will show up

But i noticed that this feed doesn't have media
enclosures - which means that it's not a podcast -
which also means that people using the miro software
won't be able to download the video. 

Do you know what I mean by this?

Good question, when inputting the feed you can add
categories/keywords there ie, germany, indymedia 
etc

and for some feeds your own keywords are imported too.
but the feed for de.indymedia doesn't have keywords in
the feed.  

You can add categories to each feed item after it has
come in by clicking edit when you view the page. 

so here is the page with posts tagged/ keyworded
'germany'
http://vision-dev.clearerchannel.org/taxonomy/term/151

You can check out one of those posts and edit it on
the vision-dev site.  you can add a thumbnail, add a
link to the media file in the 'URL URL' field.  

In this way you can turn your non podcast feed into a
podcast feed.

no worries - this is what this test site is for!

Maybe you can give it a go adding a thumbnail image
and alink to the video file for one of the posts
coming from de.indymedia.
