I’ve recently had a problem with my RSS feed on Spotify. It has always worked without any issues, but now I’m getting an XML error message. The podcast is published everywhere else, just not on Spotify. I’ve already had the feed analyzed, and the result was:
This feed does not validate.
line 2, column 0: XML parsing error: :2:0: XML or text declaration not at start of entity
Line 2: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><rss version=“2.0”
Unfortunately, I don’t know what this means or what I should do next. Has anyone else had a similar problem and can help me? Here’s my system report:
