MRSS issues

I'm trying to get a media list to run off of an rss feed. currently I am trying to get the sample one working. I took the sample photo mrss feed available here and changed the link to the location of the xml, but otherwise did not change the xml. I have confirmed that the DNS lookup is good, and I can see the RSS xml from other devices, however the brightsign never picks up the rss images and starts displaying them. I can't seem to find anything in the logs referencing the rss lookup, so I am trying to understand how to move forward troubleshooting this.

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<rss version="2.0" xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/">

    Try to put the image url in the description tag too.

    I'm confused, this is your sample MRSS feed that I am trying to use. This one should just work, right?

    1. Bright Scripters is not a part of BrightSign, but they are well-versed in use of our products.
    2. MRSS feeds used to populate Audio/Image/Video/Media List states must be formatted in the specific way noted.
      The link to the item must be in the Description tag, unlike standard MRSS feeds which use the media-___ tags.
      See https://docs.brightsign.biz/space/DOC/370671838/Media+List%2C+Video+List%2C+Image+List%2C+Audio+List#Note
    3. You can get updated MRSS generator (for regular MRSS feeds) and Media List generator (for MRSS feeds to be used as content sources for ___List and PlayFile/OnDemand states) here:
