I am having some issues with the rss feed on my site. The rss feed opens a download window, I tried all kinds of stuff before I decided to run the feed through a validator.... here is what it said.

This feed does not validate.

*line 1, column 134: XML parsing error: :1:134: not well-formed (invalid token)

... s:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" 0="xmlns:media="http://sear ...

Source: http://mysite.com/feed

1. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

I believe some how, some way, the &quot should not be there...
I am not sure where, how to get rid of it, change it...

Anyone come across this before.

Thanks,

The URL you entered does not appear to be a valid feed. We encountered the following problem: Error on line 1: Element type "rss" must be followed by either attribute specifications, ">" or "/>".

Same problem here!

(to solve it fast and really dirty, I edited the file "views-view-rss.tpl.php" and replaced:
<?php print $namespaces; ?>
with
xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/")

happy to hear a real solution.

I didn't even see that... great thinking e_log
for now, I am going to copy your solution!!
thanks for getting me up and running.

Maybe I'll link this issue in views, merlinofchaos will solve it in faster than we can say...
