I've been using VLC 1.1.3 and have a rather large amount of science & current events podcast URLs saved in the playlist's Internet/Podcasts area.
Unfortunately, when restarting VLC, I was getting an error message that some URLs couldn't be loaded.
After manually reorganizing my ~/.config/vlc/.vlcrc "podcast-urls" setting, I found the message saying "Cannot load URL 'http:/'"; this indicated the nature of the problem: a truncation issue.
