Please include your media ID in a <guid> tag for each <item>:

<guid isPermaLink="false">s8BPzDe0</guid>

Here’s a full example:

<?xml version=“1.0” encoding=“UTF-8”?>
<rss version="2.0" xmlns:itunes="http://www.itunes.com/dtds/podcast-1.0.dtd" xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/">

Hi Todd
There is still a problem with this.
You say include the GUID for each <item> tag
BUT, I have rss feeds with multiple sources for item.
DASH + HLS+ MP4
Each source will have it's own media id
How then is this constructed

My suggestion would be to use the same media ID for all the versions, since they are all the same video, just different video sources. In the RSS playlists that we generate, the <guid> and <jwplayer:source> tags are both fields for each <item>.
