"Incorrect Format" error when trying to automatically create service response with RSS feed

Hello,

I am working through mobile RSS feed app tutorial, but an getting an error when trying to automatically create the service response structure. I have used feed validator to verify I have a valid feed, and even tried using a Feedburner version with the same issue. The RSS feed is being generated by a wordpress installation.

Here is the error message received:
Incorrect format. Please verify sample response data and try again.

The feed I am trying to use is:
http://www.mtgcast.com/feed
(feedburner version for testing)
http://feeds.feedburner.com/mtgcast/ofeL

Any tips would be great, since I greatly dread trying to recreate these by hand.

Thanks.. I think it's a bug in the builder when it parses the XML. It will be fixed.

"Incorrect Format" error when trying to automatically create service response with RSS feed

Well, when I tried the RSS feed url from the tutorial, it worked.
However, when I used my own RSS feed url, it did not. I also tried to make a FeedBurner version and tried it, it did not work either.

For now, I'm going to use the old builder, and wait for the fix. (I'm coding an app for my school and they need it within the next few weeks).

Good thing I kept a backup which I made from the old builder! :)

Yes, the tutorial works but other URL posted here -- there is a problem with parsing.
