Artwork for Podcasts

Hello,
I use podcasts on a daily basis. I have 8 different podcasts. Only, one of the podcasts' artwork showed up. I tried the "Get Album Artwork" button. Then, I tried "Clear Downloadeud Artwork" and then "Get Album Artwork". It still did not work. I tried unsubscribing, deleting and then subscribing and that did not work. I updated iTunes, that did not work. I would like the artwork with my podcasts. Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you.

"Get album artwork" does not work for Podcasts, nor will your other attempts.
Artwork is added by the Podcast producer. Often they do not add it to episodes, but simply to the programme series that is displayed in the Store. Each epsiode can have its own artwork, therefore artwork needs to be added to each individual episode.
Podcasts are simply listed in the iTunes Store, they are not downloaded from the Store and therefore, you do not obtain them from the Store. They are downloaded from the Podcast producer's servers. So this is not something that Apple/iTunes controls, it's down to the Podcast producers.

  • Is It posible to get album artwork for podcasts?

    Hi ,
    I wass wondering is it possible to get album artwork for podcasts and how do you do that?
    Thanks for your help,

    Artwork for podcasts is inserted by the creator of the podcast. You can add artwork to a podcast if it doesn't have it already, but you would have to do this every time you download a new podcast. Highlight the podcast and go to File>Get Info>Artwork tab if you would like to add artwork.

  • Add artwork for podcasts using iWeb

    When I try to submit a video podcast to iTunes, which I have created on iWeb '08, my album arwork is shown as a purple question mark. Any idea how to upload the artwork for a podcast?

    Have you had any luck finding an answer? I've been searching and have come to no resolution.

  • Please help! - Artwork for podcast doesn't show up in iTunes store.

    Hi there - My artwork doesn't show up in the iTunes store.
    Artwork shows up fine in the downloaded episodes, but in the store, only the "plain" podcast icon shows up. It's been nearly a week.
    -I published my feed with Feeder and host it on my site
    -Feedburner pulls it in
    -I submitted it myself in iTunes (using the feedburner feed-need it for stats)
    -I have been approved, and people have started subscribing.
    -Feed has been vetted, and appears to be ok.

    Please help!

    The image is correctly referenced in the feed and there is an image at that URL. Some people have found that it takes some time for the image to appear, even after the podcast itself has been approved and appeared in the Store. so I should give it another few days.

  • How do we create a a main podcast category with sub-categories similar to the way many bands have subcategories and artwork for each of their albums?

    How does a content producer create a main category with sub-categories similar to the way many bands have subcategories and artwork for each of their albums?

    I think you're talking about an 'Artist Page' in which several podcasts are 'aggregated' into one iTunes Store page?  This Apple Tech note deals with the subject (scroll to the bottom of the page):
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/creatorfaq.html
    Although your mention of albums makes me wonder whether there you are talking about albums and songs in the music Library? - podcasts don't come in albums.
    You've also asked this in another forum:
    I have created a feed for our podcasts, but they are all under one umbrella. We would like to have subcategories under one main category.
    'A feed for your podcasts' doesn't make sense - a podcast has one feed (and vice versa). Are you confusing 'episodes' with 'podcasts'? A podcast is a collection of episodes - you can't categorize the episodes separately. The category shows only on the Store page and applies to the entire podcast. The 'Artist' page may again be what you are aiming for - if not perhaps you could post an example of what someone else is doing that you would like to.

  • The artwork for our podcast, "Japan Baseball Weekly," recently disappeared. The RSS feed info appears to be in order, any particular reason for this and what can be done to rectify the situation?

    The artwork for our podcast, "Japan Baseball Weekly," recently disappeared. The RSS feed info appears to be in order, any particular reason for this and what can be done to rectify the situation?

    Please always post the URLs of the Store page and the feed when you have a question. For reference, your feed is at
    http://www.japanesebaseball.com/services/jbw-podcasts.jsp
    and the Store page is at
    http://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/japan-baseball-weekly/id443149184
    Looking at the Store page, the image appears there perfectly well. On subscribing there is no image associated with the episodes because you haven't embedded an image in the files - please see this page for clarification:

  • Artwork for Video Podcasts

    Is there any way to force iTunes to show embeded artwork for video podcasts in the podcast list? Right now it shows little previews of a random frame of the latest episode. Not only is that uninformative — makes it difficult to find a particular podcast, — but also bad for my OCD.
    Thanks.

    Well, that's the thing: all the video podcasts in my collection have artwork assigned when I look them up in iTunes Store. For example: the official Apple Keynotes podcast, Diggnation, Tekzilla, etc. But in iTunes, they — and every other video podcast — all show a still frame instead of artwork.
    All the audio podcasts in my collection display their respective artwork just fine.

  • Coverflow artwork for video podcasts

    How do you set the artwork for a video podcast so it will show within the itunes library? I'm not talking about the end user setting the artwork but the podcast creator. Seems that itunes uses the first frame of video as a default but I have seen other video podcasts have a specific picture, not the first frame of video, as their artwork. Example, subscribe to Creative Cows Final Cut Pro Podcast and there is a picture in your podcast library.
    Here is my xml file
    http://www.ci.lakeville.mn.us/podcasts/meetings/podcast.xml
    I use Lemonz Dream's "Podcast Maker" to create the xml files.

    No bites on this one yet? . . . Okay, I'll have a go.
    So what you want to do is set the artwork for your podcast . . . Fairly easily done, but you first need to understand something about artwork for your podcast FILE versus artwork for your feed XML. (They are two completely separate things!) In the case of what you want, your XML code (and the artwork linked therein) doesn't matter because it doesn't affect the podcast file once it has been put into a podcatcher of some sort (e.g. iTunes). The artwork from your XML is only really of use to the iTMS and sundry web readers. So, have no worries about what method/program you are using to create your code or the validity of your file.
    To set/change an individual episode's artwork you actually have to edit the .mov (or whatever) file. Hold on - that's not as scary as it may sound. First, do you already have the artwork that you want to use? Or do you want to capture a "good" frame from your video and use that? If you already have artwork, awesome. If you want to use a certain frame from your video, all that you need to do is play your video and freeze it on the desired frame and take a screen capture. (To take a screen cap, use Print Screen or Alt+Print Screen on a PC; or Command-Shift-3 or Command-Shift-4 on a Mac -- crop it if needed, and save the file as a jpeg/gif.)
    After you have your desired artwork lined up, all you need to do is open your .mov in iTunes. Right- or Ctrl-click on the file, and select the option "Get Info." A window should come up - the last tab will say "artwork." Select the artwork tab, select and delete the pre-fab iTunes issue artwork, and then click "add." This will allow you to select the file of your desired artwork. After you've added the artwork, click "okay." Your file has been successfully modified, and is now ready to be uploaded!
    And ta-da, when someone downloads your podcast file, the artwork will show up when they play the file (or in coverflow). Why? Because the artwork is now part your video file, and it is included in the download of your podcast.
    More info, and possibly less confusion, about what is going on with this topic can be found here. (When you're reading it, just replace "MP3" with "MOV" in your head.)

  • Picture not showing in "Get Info" for Podcast

    I've just created a podcast and uploaded it. The audio works just fine, but for some reason the image that I want to associate with the file doesn't show up in "Get Info". Anyone know what may be causing this?

    <title>"Causes of the Civil War" (Session 1), February 12, 2005</title>
    <description>Few other questions in American history have generated more controversy than "What Caused the Civil War?" That conflict preserved the United States as one nation, indivisible and abolished the institution of slavery that for more than four score years had made a mockery of American claims to stand as a republic of liberty, a beacon of freedom for oppressed peoples in the Old Word. But these achievements came at the great cost of more than 629,000 lives and vast destruction of property that left large parts of the South a wasteland. Could this terrible war have been avoided? Who was responsible for the events that led to war? Could the positive results of the war (Union and Freedom) have been achieved without war? How have participants in the war and historians answered these questions over the five generations since the war ended? James M. McPherson is the George Henry Davis '86 Professor of History at Princeton University and is widely acclaimed as the leading historian of the Civil War. He is the author of Battle Cry of Freedom: The Civil War Era, which won the Pulitzer Prize in history in 1989, as well as many other books on Lincoln and the Civil War era. This is the first in a two-part series.</description>

    Artwork for the individual episodes that show during playback comes from an ID3 tag embedded inside the MP3 file - just like a regular song.

  • Photo Not Updating for Podcast

    I have a minor issue with the Podcast app from iOS 5.1.1 thru 6.1.
    The artwork for the podcasts are not updating in the app.  I listen to a lot of music podcasts and on iTunes I see the updated artwork every week.  When I sync my iPhone 5 I will see it say Updating cover for episode ### but when I play that episode podcast it will have the artwork for an older episode.  Usually for an episode that I have already deleted.
    Not a huge crisis but it is annoying.  Thanks.

    The feed you are checking is at
    http://www.calvarygreenmeadow.com/podcasts/ccgreen-rss.xml
    and though the server is being slow to respond it can be subscribed to in iTunes and shows your recent episodes as expected.
    However, iTunes is looking for a feed at
    http://www.calvarygreenmeadow.com/~calvaryg/podcasts/ccgreen-rss.xml
    There is no file at this address. This means that since 14 November last you have been updating the wrong feed.
    You need to replace the feed at this URL. Once done, you can redirect iTunes to your newer feed if you want, following the process detailed here:

  • HT3281 Frustrations with searching iTunes for podcasts

    Does anyone actually find the iTunes store search useful and/or intuitive?
    1. Why would ANYONE want to search for a keyword across podcasts, albums, songs, apps, itunes U, collections etc etc all at once?? Ok, maybe include that feature for completely clueless individuals who are seriously bored. For myself and surely the vast majority, we know what we're looking for and don't want to be smashed in the face with an abundance of completely inappropriate results.
    2. More details are required on the results page. As the medium has been around for so long, and so many podcasters come and go, many podcasts seem to date back to the dawn of time. I don't want to click on a search result only to find out the podcast stopped updating 5 years ago. We should be able to sort by date, filter out dates etc. PODCASTS ARE TOPICAL. Apple created them, how can you not know this?
    3. The back button is not a back button. If I click 'see all' (which I shouldn't have to) and click on a result to find out more (which again, shouldn't be required if the display options were any good) only to find out I'm not interested and I want to keep searching, guess what? I click back only to be taken back to that same infuriating display of search results across every type.
    I'm guessing the search for music is equally frustrating though I wouldn't know, iTunes is so slow and clunky I avoid using it except where absolutely necessary and buy my music elsewhere.

    I'm having a similiar problem with our iTunes U site...
    The artwork for this collection is not loading:
    http://itunes.apple.com/us/itunes-u/ask-the-podcast-doctor/id431520336

    The artwork loads fine in the podcast directory:
    http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/ask-the-podcast-doctor/id213007789
    What is odd is that it was fine several months ago - nothing that I know has been changed on our end (except new audio tracks added to the feed).

  • ITunes doesent show art for podcasts

    Simply put, when I open iTunes and select podcasts, the art that's supplied as an icon is not shown.
    They all show up in the store, and on my iPod.
    I have tried re-installing iTunes, by un-installing it, rebooting, checking and removing for left over data, and then re-installing it.
    I have also tried un-subscribing and re-subscribing to them after removing all visible history of them from my collection.
    What's more annoying is that every time there is an iTunes update, more of the art disappears and I am left with the generic icon.

  • ITunes 11.1 not downloading artwork for albums only on icloud

    Since updating to 11.1 some more of my artwork seems to be missing. The get album artwork is only getting artwork for downloaded music. If I right click on an album without artwork which is not downloaded and click get album artwork nothing happens. This works fine once at least 1 song of the album has been downloaded. I'm on a mac with mountain lion if that's any help. Any ideas?

    Okay, found it.  In iTunes 11.1, in the left column, under Libraries: click on Podcasts
    Find "settings" at the bottom of the frame. The Automatically Download needs to be set to "Most Recent."  If it's set to "off" then the podcast will be available in the cloud to pull down individually. 

  • ITunes 10.0.7.21 shows a white box instead of artwork for most of my albums.  Many of these are albums I purchased on itunes.  Also when I hit get album art it deleted the artwork it already had form many albums and says it cant find it.

    OS is Windows 7
    I updated iTunes the other day and I decided to run "get album art" and instead of finding artwork, it made some of the artwork I already had show up as white squares, or disapear entirely.  The ones that are white squares show up under the get info, but not in itunes.  I did click in view for show al artwork, no luck.  Many of these albums I bought from iTunes.  The ones that the artwork was deleted some albums I can buy on iTunes, but already owned, and iTunes found the artwork before, but now cannot.  Some are albums that I spent many hours finding and adding the artwork myself.  I am very frustrated.  I cannot find the time to manually install artwork for thousands of songs.
    My work computer is Windows 8, so I really don't want to hear windows vs OSX argument.  My company won't switch to mac because you like it better, so I just need a solution to my issue.  iTunes it has always worked better for me on my work PC than my macBook, I dont know why, but I don't take two laptops with me when I travel so I have my iTunes library on the PC that has to come with me.  This is the first time an update has screwed things up for me.

    Well my first guess was wrong. The line that failed is the one that writes out the image to disk. I've not revisited the code for that script for ages, but it seems I did add in an extra test for missing files a little while later, then forgot to upload the change. I can reproduce the error message if I deliberately rename a file to confuse iTunes so that seems the most likely reason for your problem with the script. I've uploaded a new build of CreateFolderArt which should work better.
    See FindTracks for a tool to repair broken links. You should probably get that issue fixed first.
    I know what SPSS stands for but that is all I know about it.

  • ITunes Get Artwork:  "Artwork for [album name] cannot be found.  You do not have permission to access the requested resource."

    I just installed iTunes 10.5 (latest version as of 11 Jan 2012), onto a computer running Windows 7 Ultimate x64.  I loaded my music library into it, it compiled the list and separated them by album.  But even though I'd assigned most of the albums artwork through my Zune management software (a Microsoft product), almost none of them populated into iTunes.  So I went through and started asking the software to try to find album artwork where possible.
    I did this a few times album by album, then I decided to select multiple albums and see what happened.  No problems.  Then I selected all of the albums I had--about 600 in all--and asked it to get artwork.  It seemed to process for a bit, then came back with the error, "Artwork for [album name] could not be located.  You do not have permission to access the requested resource."  I tried this on several individual albums, only to receive that same error.
    The very first time I did it, I was told I needed an account with the iTunes store to make it work, so I signed in using an old Apple ID (the account had been inactive for so long it had been locked for security, I unlocked it and that seemed to be that).  Then I did what I described above.
    The weird thing--to me--is that I can still add artwork to the albums manually if I want to, from imagery stored locally on my own computer.  The only thing it seems to have a problem with is when I ask it to go find artwork from the iTunes store.
    Do I need to uninstall iTunes and then reinstall it?  Did something go wrong with the process of authorizing the computer to work with the iTunes store?  Do I need to de-authorize and then re-authorize the computer?  Could this be something related to Windows permissions on the iTunes library?

    Right on about how to reset the warnings, it was exactly that.
    I went through the steps to let iTunes through Windows Firewall, but still get the same problem when I access the iTunes store (and even though I followed the steps in the help file to the letter, I notice it still says iTunes is NOT enabled for it).  And now, thanks to the re-enabled warnings, when I try to get it to download artwork for single albums, this is what I get:
    "Artwork for [album name] could not be found.  An unknown error occurred (-50)."
