Byte-range request issue when trying to submit - hosted on Tindeck, is this the issue?

Hi there,
I'm trying to submit a podcast, but having a few issues. It's the first time I've tried to do this and I'm geting a little confused with all the jargon - and there was me thinking I was pretty tech-savvy!
I've set up a Wordpress.com blog (http://every80smovie.wordpress.com/) and then set up a feed on Feedburner (http://feeds.feedburner.com/every80smovie) from that. My audio mp3s are hosted on Tindeck - the first episode can be found at http://tindeck.com/listen/xryo, but I used the Wordpress audio code to place an embedded player on the blog page that links to the Tindeck download link.
From what I can see there are a number of podcasts that seem to host on Tindeck and are listed on iTunes - however, whenever I try to submit my podcast I'm told that the episodes are on a server which doesn't support byte-range requests. I'm guessing Tindeck does because of the other podcasts on there, but I'm now getting really bemused.
I can subscribe to my podcast using the Advanced tab on iTunes, so I know that side works. Can anybody help at all? Does anybody have any experience with Tindeck?
Thanks in advance,
Ben

When your episode URL is entered in the address bar of a browser it downloads the file; although this works OK in the iTunes application when subscribing, downloading sometimes works in the Store and sometimes doesn't. Really you should provide a direct link to the file which when enter it in a browser, plays in the browser. I don't know whether Tindeck offers this as an alternative.
Testing for byte-range requests doesn't suggest this is handled - as it's downloading it probably wouldn't in any case. Byte range requests, which consists of requesting parts of the file at a time rather than the whole thing, is the method used by the iPhone and Apple have made it mandatory for new podcasts; if they detect that your server doesn't handle it they will reject your submission. (Other podcasts using Tindeck may have been up before this came into force, or perhaps they've found a way to get Tindeck to serve the files properly.)

Byte Range Requests

Hi,
Any help on this topic would be much appreciated.
The following feed was recently working on iTunes, but seems to have stopped working.
http://www.backpagelead.com.au/podcasts?format=feed&type=rss
I understand the issue with byte-range requests and am trying to get an answer from a hosting company.
In the meantime, is there anything in particular in my RSS feed that I should look out for that could be causing a problem?
Cheers,
Brendan

The page you link to shows the link as text rather than a link:
The Geoffery Podcast Episode 13: The One With The Balance Pt. II: The Sequel of the Sexes.
<a href=”http://dl.dropbox.com/u/63074747/the%20geoffery%20podcast%2013.mp3”></a>
Lissa, Bre and Dexter made a podcast
This link therefore doesn't work, though the one on the word 'podcast' does and the file plays OK. Your feed still has no 'enclosure' tags in it so no media files will appear in iTunes. This is something you will have to sort out with Tumblr: there will be a way of making it work since other people have Tumblr based podcasts.

HT1819 'Byte-Range' request error, but no problems using Advanced menu

On Windows Vista PC, latest iTunes update:
No trouble subscribing to podcast feed using Advanced menu. iTunes will even update/load new episodes, but I receive 'byte-range' request error when submitting podcast feed to the directory.
Is it normal to be able to use the advanced menu option, but not be able to submit the same feed to the podcast directory?
PS: No trouble subscribing to same feed with Banshee media player using ubuntu Natty Narwhal. All podcast artwork and information intact.

I'm afraid you've fallen over a requirement that Apple has recently introduced. The iPhone plays podcasts by using 'byte-range requests', which means calling for part of the file at a time rather than the whole thing. Unfortunately some servers don't support this, and there were an increasing number of complaints that podcasts which worked elsewhwere weren't working on an iPhone.
So Apple are now making the ability to handle this a condition of submission. Evidently your server doesn't support this, so all you can do is to ask them whether they can implement it. If not, you will have to find another hosting service - ask about this before committing yourself, and if they say no, or don't know what it is, find another host.

TS1424 error when submitting a podcast rss: byte-range requests

Hi when I submit rss feeds now I'm getting an error message that we need to enable byte-range requests.
I saw this article:
http://theaudacitytopodcast.com/itunes-changes-podcast-specs-and-features/
saying that " iTunes now requires all hosting servers to enable Byte Range Requests"
my podcast mp3 is hosted in CDN that, as I've checked, supports range requests.
but my rss feed contains urls that first return a redirect, to the real url (where range requests are supported)
could this be a problem? are redirects on episode urls supported (they were until now)? should I modify the redirect response somehow to indicate that range requests are supported on the target server (I thought that shouldn't be necessary)?
take this as a feed example: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/djsqwyd.rss
Thanks in advance,

Error message when uploading: my server does not support byte-range requests

Hi I am trying to get a pocast up on itunes - I am first just sending a test mp3 - ebenezer.bruceclark.eu/podcast.xml. I have validated the xml keeping it to a minimum and constantly get the message saying my server does not support byte-range requests. Once I got some meassage about "White spaces are required between publicId and systemId". It all seems so random I am using Drupal 7 cms with views_rss module + itunes elements. It's been my 3rd night into the early morning and I need to sort this out for my client.
Thanks to anyone who can help
Bruce

Your feed does not contain an 'enclosure tag' which would contain the URL of your mp3 file, so at the moment it basically has no content and would be of no use to iTunes. You may find it helpful to read this page which gives you basic information on making a podcast:
http://rfwilmut.net/pc
Note that when you do get it working and submitting, the iTunes Store won't accept a podcast which is merely a technical test: they need to see at least one proper episode so that they can check that your podcast does not contain unsuitable material.

Unable to submit podcast due "Enable byte range requests" error

Hi, I'm trying to submit a podcast feed but the "enable byte range requests" error shows, I'm in the full control of the server so I've tested from another server and the header seems to be correct:

Any ideas why iTuns keeps showing me that error?

To anyone who may be interested:
Now iTunes accepted my podcast submition, the previous feed had near 100 chapters, so I deleted most of them keeping just 4 chapters.

Byte Range request issue on drupal site where files are linked to as nodes. Can anyone tell me how to get this feed into itunes?

I have an audio feed created on my Drupal website and it does not pass muster on the Itunes podcast submission. Says byte range requests not supported but I talk with my provider and they indicated that byte range requests are supported. My feed is www.theoasisoflight.org/audio/feed
Thanks,
Ken

I tested your top media file in Terminal and it does not indicate that the server accepts byte range requests:

If it did, 'Content-Length' would have been 201. I can't promise that this test is 100% authoratitave, but it rather looks as if Drupal are wrong. If this is the case you will, I'm afraid, have to find another server because without byte range requests podcasts don't work properly in iPhones, so Apple have made it mandatory.

Issues when trying to setup alternate sync location of OneDrive for Business / SharePoint 2013 Libraries

Hello,
I have an issue that prevents me from choosing the alternate location of sync'ed OneDrive for Business folders. I'm trying to setup an alternate location for synchronization, using the guidelines found in the Office support web site.
The option to replace the default sync location appears the first time a SharePoint 2013 Library or OneDrive for Business is setup for synchronization.
Here would be a link to a snapshot (since my account has not been verified): /Forums/getfile/443247
At this point, the Library or personal OneDrive folder syncs correctly and the files are stored in the alternate choosen location.
However, on when trying to setup an additionnal Library for synchronization, the alternate sync location has not been saved and reverts to the default sync location. Furthermore, the option to replace the default sync location does no longer appear
on the dialog box.
Here would be a link to a snapshot (since my account has not been verified): /Forums/getfile/443249
I have tried by first sync'ing a SharePoint 2013 Library (instead of the personal OneDrive for Business folder) with the same result. Meaning that the first SharePoint 2013 Library correctly sync's in the alternate location of my choosing. However,
any subsequent attempts to sync either a SharePoint 2013 Library or the OneDrive for Business folder results in them being sync'ed to the original default location in a folder under the user's profile directory.
I'm using Office Professional Plus 2013 (64bits). The version of Groove.exe is 15.0.4605.1000 (12th March 2014 - 13 383 360 bytes).
Is there something I'm missing ?
Thanks for any help on this issue.

Hi SpringComp,
You can change the root path for libraries you sync to your computer, though you can do this only if you’re not currently syncing any libraries. If you’re already syncing at least one library and you want to change the path, you must first
stop syncing all libraries. Then, the first time you run the OneDrive for Business wizard to sync a library to your computer, you’ll see an option to change the location.
More information, please refer to the link:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/support/change-the-location-where-you-sync-sharepoint-libraries-on-your-computer-HA102893480.aspx
I hope this helps.
Thanks,

Server error in communication when trying to submit a formscentral form?

What does it mean when one of my form users gets a "server error in communication" when trying to submit a form. The saving function worked just fine. Help this is my first form!
Thanks!

It is a rather generic error message that can occur for a number of reasons. Further details are needed to pinpoint an exact cause. Do you know if your user can submit now? There was service outage earlier this week that may have caused the problem. Other issues are browser security settings, company or individual firewall setting, or actual bugs to out product. If you could get more information from your user such as their Operating System and version, browser version, if the error is still occuring, when the error occurred that would be helpful.
Some things your user can try in the mean time is clearing their browser cache, restarting their browser or trying a different browser.

Issue when trying to sign on to YahooGroups...

Hello All....I am having an issue on my MacBook but NOT my iPad when trying to sign on to YahooGroups. On the sign on page when I enter name and password a small white screen tries to open that asks my to have a code sent to my phone or enter security question answer. Well on the iPad I can see this screen and answer the question or request the cde, but on my MacBook, the screen is cut with only a small section showing and I cannot move it, click it, scroll or anything that will allow me to anser the question or request code. So basically I can never sign on to Yahoogroups on my MacBook! Nuts. Ideas?!?
THanks...Bernadette

Hello Benadette,
It sounds like this webpage is not loading correctly in Safari on your MacBook Pro. I would recommend checking for 3rd party plugins that may be causing this to happen with this article:
Safari: Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3230
If the issue persist I would try resetting Safari to help troubleshoot what is happening:
Safari 6 (OS X Mountain Lion): Reset Safari

While this article mentions Mountain Lion, the troubleshooting is relevant for Mavericks as well.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,

Byte-Range Requests error

I keep on getting the the error that my server does not support byte-range requests. I cant seem to find the problem and I think that I am hitting the ceiling of my knowledge of configuring Apache.
here is my feed location http://feeds.feedburner.com/REDPOINTPodcast
I am running Apache2 on Ubuntu 11:10

Backing up what Roger is saying - Apple has publicly stated you must be on a byte-range supported server.
http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/specs.html
Item 2 below is from Apple.
Submission and Feedback Processes
Podcasting on iTunes requires several steps:
Creating your first episode, which can be an audio recording, video, or even a text document. Supported file formats include .m4a, .mp3, .mov, .mp4, .m4v, .pdf and .epub.
Posting your episode file(s) on a server with byte-range support enabled and a publicly accessible URL. Byte-range support allows users to stream your episodes.
Creating an RSS feed (an XML file) that:
conforms to the RSS 2.0 specification
includes the recommended iTunes RSS tags,
contains pointers to your episode.
Posting the RSS file on a server.
Submit the URL for your RSS feed to iTunes.
