Change video podcast to an audio podcast?

my ipod nano can play video podcasts, so is there a way to get only the audio of the podcast so i can put in my ipod

If you subscribe to them all then they will all download to each device. All I can think of is deleting the ones you don't want on each device. The only other alternative would be to not actually subscribe to any podcasts on the iPad, but simply download the video ones as individual episodes,but that does mean remembering to go looking for them, because they won't automatically download without subscription.

  • Can I change my podcast from "video" to "audio only"?

    I submitted my podcast and never got an email, but it must have gotten accepted because I can find it when I search for it: http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/soul-deep-radio/id493618518
    Now that I am "in" what can I do to change my podcast from video to audio?  I have 3 files in my feed that are marked as video but are actually audio files.  Because of that my feed has a black background and I would rather audio feed for cosmetic reasons, and because I don't want to mislead people into thinking that there are going to be videos when there won't be. 
    Also,  I wanted to change my feed to a feedburner version of the same one, but I was going to wait until I heard that my podcast was officially approved before doing so.
    Thanks

    For reference, your feed is at
    http://www.souldeepradio.net/feed/podcast/
    Three of your episodes are .mp4 - the 'enclosure' tag looks like this:
    <enclosure url="http://www.souldeepradio.net/Mixes/thebooksof_.m4a.mp4" length="152342025" type="video/mp4" />
    You will note that not only is the file a video formate (even though in fact it may only carry audio) and the 'type' is video. This is why your podcast has the black background: you should replace these three episodes with .mp3 versions and amend the feed accordingly - try not to change the 'guid' tags or existing subscribers will find themselves downloading the new version.
    The method for moving iTunes to a different podcast feed URL is detailed here:

  • Is there any way to keep streaming the audio portion of a video podcast when I leave the Podcast app?

    If I leave the Podcast app while playing an audio podcast, I can still hear the audio. However, if I leave a video podcast to do something else like answer emails, the audio portion doesn't keep playing. This means that if I have a video podcast going, I can't do anything else with my iPad while it's playing. I multitask all the time while playing my podcasts and then come back to the video if it sounds like there is something interesting to see. This one glitch unfortunately makes the Podcast app unusable for me. I'll keep using the Downcast app for a while longer because of this but if Apple fixes this problem, I'll be back since the rest of the app looks great.

    Thanks Kiwi. It doesn't make sense to me though, as that would seem to be only a simple change in the operating system, not a hardware 'necessity'.

  • Video podcast only playing audio on iPod

    Hi,
    In the past (iTunes 11.4) I was able to download a video podcast from a website and link it to iTunes by adding it to the library. It would automatically show up in home videos so I would right-click the file, get info, and then change the media kind to podcast. It would then join the rest of the episodes in podcasts. Then when I synced my iPod it would copy the file to the podcasts app and I could watch the video.
    Now using iTunes 12.0.1.26 when I repeat those steps the podcast joins the rest of the episodes in the podcasts section in iTunes and plays as a video in iTunes, but when viewing the podcasts in episode list view the video icon is missing (although strangely it appears in the standard podcast view). And when I sync the podcast to my iPod and I play it through the podcasts app it plays as an audio only podcast. When I check the file system at /var/mobile/Media/iTunes_Control/Music/Fxx the video file is there and can be played as a video using the default video app, so there must be something iTunes is doing to tell the iPod to play it as audio only.
    I have noticed in iTunes that when I get info of the previously added podcast episodes that it shows video properties whereas the newly added episodes do not and if I select new and old episodes at the same time and try to Get Info a message pops up saying "Your selection contains more than one kind of media." Whereas if I only select the new episodes or only select the old episodes, it doesn't pop up.
    Also in Get Info, under options, the new episode show an option for equalizer (although it is greyed out and cannot be change), whereas the older episodes do not. And under Sorting, the new episodes have an option to sort podcast whereas the old episodes do not.
    *(Old episodes refers to episodes added in iTunes 11.4, new episodes refers to episodes added in iTunes 12.0.1.26)
    Thank you.

    Hello, I just had success getting things to work once with podcasts then tried it with iTunesU after I could not repeat it with podcasts. I had the same problem, What I ended doing with iTunesU I'm sure you can apply to podcasts it appears to be an iTunes 12 issue not an iOS issues but affects iOS devices 6,7,8. I just got lucky with solution. I am quite vague on what I did, so in coming days ( had enough today) I'm going to attempt it again and write an exact procedure. but while its fresh in my mind this is what I think I did with iTunesU to get same functionality as podcasts. Firstly talk about what we use to do, as you would do in the past I i used get info then changed it to podcast, as we know that won't work and files play as audio only. So I got my (the ones that wouldn't work on iPad but did on the mac) podcasts in iTunes and selected all (contents of podcast) then get info, i then changed them on mass to home video again( it protests but you continue). I then went to normal library ( can't recall what its called these days) created an empty playlist folder, then from my standard library i dragged all videos into it. I then selected all get info changed to iTunes U (i tried podcast i did succeed once but could not repeat) also changed institution and and instructor ( i think they must be in to work????)( I would say as it relates to podcasts you follow a similar procedure, my gut tells me its not working due to missing fields, we must work out which need filling in)
    From there plugged in iPad clicked devices tab, strangely then left the actual collection in question unchecked, however below that box is another that says include items from playlist, i checked mine that i created earlier , playlist will only appear there if you went through the painful approach at start ( i.e. in get info you made the whole playlist is of type ' iTunes U' , I assume will be a similar case with podcasts). I then synced. didn't think it worked, then closed app on device and opened it and perfect there it was and it played video and then played next after etc
    I am sure i have unnecessary steps but it was guess work. once I've refined it ill post technique. I'm certain it all hinges on making other fields right other than podcasts and them all being changed to the same at the same time. was weird that include from playlist worked rather than collections. that is probably key too.
    Hope this is helpful, just a disclaimer i included to much info because the answer is in there.

  • ITunes categorises my podcast as 'video podcast' instead of 'audio podcast'

    I'm new to this!
    When I started, I had 'select any media file' ticked on my Feedburner preferences in 'create podcast enclosures from links to'. iTunes took this and added a random video I had uploaded ages ago (as well as the audio podcasts I wanted up) and put me into the video podcasts category. Once I sorted it out, I changed my preferences to read 'audio files only', and pinged etc.
    iTunes has now updated everything, however the category remains stuck on video podcasting! I can't figure out how to change this. Is there something in the XML file? I've looked all through it and can't see anything I should change!
    Or is it just that iTunes will take a while to update and reflect the changes?
    Many thanks for your time.

    I'm getting 'Podcasts>Audio Podcasts>Video Games>GAMINGtruth' which seems reasonable. Your category tags read
    <itunes:category text="Games &amp; Hobbies">
    <itunes:category text="Video Games" />
    </itunes:category>
    So it looks as if it's sorted itself out.

  • Video Podcasts Will Not Sync; Audio Podcasts Do

    I recently upgraded my iPhone 4 to the ios 5. Now when I sync my iPhone to iTunes, my video podcasts will not sync. I have not changed any of my settings, and I noticed "All podcasts" is selected under Podcasts section. Audio podcasts sync fine. All was fine until I did the recent software upgrade. Any ideas? Thanks for your help.

    They are there.  They are now under the "Video" app on the first page of your device.  Seems like a pointless change to me.  It took me a couple of days to find mine, too.

  • Video Podcast no longer plays audio

    Within the last week, (Possibly the last update), I can no longer get audio to work on Video Podcasts.  No audio in iTunes or on iPhone for Video Podcasts.  However, Audio Podcasts play just fine and no other issues with Movies, etc.

  • Video Podcasts - just audio no video

    I subscribe to a couple video Podcasts, but don't view them often. But one popped up that looked interesting so I tried and only got the audio.The video window did not open.
    I checked an older video that came with a purchased album and again, the sound played but the video did not open.
    No Video just Audio. Any thoughts?
    I'm running iTunes 10.6.1

    PS - I should mention that both the podcast and the music video played in the distant past, but I can't remember when I last tried to view them. Could be several versions of iTunes ago, certainly not since upgrading to Lion.

  • Enhanced Video podcast with chapters..can we change the color of the text?

    Enhanced Video podcast with chapters..can we change the color of the text? Yo know when yo make a marker and then name it and put in the url name an then the url.

    Hi there
    Sorry, but your post seemed to initially infer you were just referring to a Button you would insert on a page. At least that's what I understood when I posted with what I did.
    Now it would seem you are referring to the Playback Controls that Captivate supplies? So either I grossly misunderstood your initial issue or you are now switching gears and asking about something different.
    What I posted earlier does not apply to the Captivate Playback Controls.

  • Audio or Video Podcast?

    Is there any way that I can get iTunes to show which podcasts and iTunes U content is video and which is audio only? I only want to transfer the videos to my ipad and only the audio to my ipod.

    Video episodes for Podcasts and iTunes U have a small TV screen icon to the right of the episode's title. Expand the Podcast information by clicking on the right-facing arrow which is to the left of the series's title.

  • Video Podcasts Playing Audio Only

    I'm trying to play some video Podcast's that I DL'd from Itunes, I made sure they were Ipod Compatible and not Apple TV, they show up under Podcasts but play audio only. This is a Brand New 30gb 5.5g

    You say you get the audio only. What do you see when you play the podcast: Does it look like when a song is playing from your music library? If so, you may just be accessing the Podcast from the wrong menu. Make sure you go through the Videos menu.

  • Convert video podcast to audio podcast

    Hello!
    My ipod can't show videos. There's a weekly discussion on a video podcast, that I would like to listen to on my ipod (without image because there is no visual action...). Is there possibility to extract just the sound and produce a "new" podcast out of this?
    Thanks a lot in advance!

    Well, this is really weird but sometimes the option is there and sometimes it's not.
    Here's proof - look between "Reset Plays" and "Consolidate Files":
    So the real question is how to get that to show, and I can't say for sure how I did it. The trick seems to be related to whether the episode is selected or not before you right-click on it, but that's not entirely it. I think what I did was click on an audio file, then right-click on the video file while the audio file was still highlighted.
    It may be easier to just open the video in Quicktime Player, and use that to export the AAC audio.

  • Convert video podcast to audio podcasts?

    Hi,
    Is it possible, within iTunes, to extract the audio from movies, video podcasts, and iTunes U videos? I know that I can export them into Quicktime and do it there, but it's time consuming. The reason I ask is that I download the files to my iPod, and I only need the audio. (I'm resubmitting this question because I received no response the first time.) Thanks.

  • Video podcasts play as audio only.

    Since the release of Podcasts, I have been using it to watch my regular assortment of video podcasts. On at least two occassions (so far) the app has decided to play only the audio from the podcast using the audio interface and ignore the video. Switching podcasts does not help. To top it off, even in audio mode, the audio controls do not seem to function properly. The only fix I have found is to exit back to the Home screen, terminate the background Podcasts process and relaunch.
    If I look at the information for the podcast episodes they are properly identified as video podcasts and play properly once the app is relaunched.

    You're welcome!
