Enhanced podcast problems

I am creating enhances podcast with Soundtrack Pro with images and URL links. When I export my project as an ACC enhanced podcast I am unable to click on the images and have them direct me to the embedded link. What am I doing wrong?

Just to clarify, I didn't realize the whole change directory command (cd) and the quotation of paths so that spaces and caps could be correctly altered. But wait! Now Apple has made this streamlined for me (As usual, a little delay, but as usual) and I don't even have to do the command line at all to create enhanced podcasts. A giant Hooray for that!

Enhanced podcast problem.

Hey guys. I am having problem with my enhanced podcast. It will not show the clickable links or the pictures associated with the link. I am using an iPhone 4S and am listening to the rooster teeth podcast. Is there a way to fix this?

Enhanced Podcast Creation Problem (ChapterTool)

I have had problems creating an enhanced podcast and I think I have narrowed it down to the TextEdit App doing something wrong to the XML file. I have done everything twice over with the samples that ChapterTool uses, and when I go into Text Edit to make an XML file (Yes, I am using plain text under the preferences) as soon as I save it I get a white blank document icon while I see other enhanced podcasts that have been successful (via the samples) which have a different icon through TextEdit that shows scribbles on the white document. It seems that as soon as I save something in TextEdit (Even the examples which were 100% perfect) it will overwrite that document and make it go from nice useable file for ChapterTool to the white document with nothing written on it through the icon. Here's a quotation from my Terminal with the problem:

Is there something wrong with TextEdit? Or am I looking over yet another problem?

Problem burning my enhanced Podcast (.m4a files)

Hello together,
Since i have updated to the new iTunes 8.2 i've got some real problems, with burning my Podcast Sessions. (itpc://www.marcomendez.ch/?feed=podcast)
For all my subscribers out there with an iPhone or an iPod touch i create all my podcast episodes as enhanced Podcast. So that they can browse it easily. (Track for Track)
Before i installed the new iTunes, burning my mixes and all other m4a mixes and podcasts of other artists have been splitted track to track on the CD. So i could easily switch between the different tracks in my car, when listening. Unfortunately, with the new iTunes version, the whole mix is burnt as one track. So that i get 1 track with 60 minutes music...this is pretty sad... :((
This anyone have a solution?!

I downloaded the 64-Bit version of iTunes 8.2 for my pc running Vita - found the same problem with enhanced podcasts. Real bummer! Am considering reinstalling 8.11.

Problems with enhanced podcast

Hi,
I have a podcast on iTunes in the music section which has many listeners.
Currently the enhanced podcast is working fine in my iTunes locally. I created them via GarageBand, but if I upload them and refresh the xml file for iTunes and I download an episode from my iPhone, I must sync it to my iTunes before I get the picture within the link and description, very strange.
Also, if I just want to play my episode over the iTunes Store via my iPhone the picture is not displayed correctly. There are just some fuzzy lines and that's it. This is the next problem I have to solve
Cheers!

I can't get garageband to export! It keeps getting stuck at 'creating chapters' when I try to export my enhanced podcast. Please help!

I am trying to export my enhanced podcast through garageband. I have all the current updates. I am on my MacBookPro 10.6.8 2.3GHz with 8GB ram. My enhanced podcast (podcast with pictures) is about 80 mins long and I have tried exporting with everything from the lowest settings to the highest always with the same result. I have tried deleting GB preferences. I have tried repairing permissions to no avail.
I hit export to disk or send to itunes.
I select some AAC format I want (optimized for spoken podcast).
It slowly builds the mix, normalizes, and creates chapters (yeah, it goes through the creating chapters bar to completion)
Then it goes all candystripe on the creating chapters bar once it fills up and will hang forever (hung for 8 hours....pretty much sounds like 'forever' in my book).
Please help...I have my podcast sitting there waiting to be used....I have tried exporting smaller chunks (by moving the end of file bar) but that doesn't work either. Is there a way to just send the pictures and the picture start times over to imovie and work with it there? I'd much rather work with the tools that imovie has but man that program is just a PITA to use when you want to run through 100+ pictures for variable durations (whereas it's easy to just drag and drop with garageband as you do playback).
The file only has one stereo audio track!

Hi notmatthew, I have exactly the same problem as you. I am trying to export a podcast about iPod X Anniversary so I need to publish it next sunday.
It's midnight in Spain but tomorrow I will tray something I read in other post:
w4b3l said:
Problem solved.
I deleted the chapters one by one, exporting it each time, until it worked. i then replaced the image (which was a .jpg and i converted to .png) with that chapter and now it works.
Could you try it?

Enhanced podcasts

No where on Apple's site does it say that YOU MUST HAVE CHAPTER TOOL to post enhanced podcasts made in Garage band.
Yet it seems that other people on the web have posted this info.
http://www.voxmedia.org/wiki/PodcastChapterTool#iPodChapterBug
Why doesn't Apple have all the info we need to create and upload enhanced podcasts using Garage band and iweb posting to .mac and itunes?
After many calls to apple care no one mentions this in any support area! Yet at macworld posting an enhanced podcast required no chapter tool or work in Terminal! Please post the actual way to do this! Somewhere official from Apple.

This forum is for the program iWeb, which is not involved in the creation of podcasts. You should post your problem in the forums for Garageband:
http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=127
In any case, in the forums you are just talking to other users like yourself. To convey your wishes to Apple, use the feedback channels.

Enhanced podcast (don't see chapter and pictures in podcast app on iphone or ipad)

hi people !
i create enhanced podcast, and try that podcast on itunes app on my pc. Everything work ok, except pictures but i know that this is bug with curent version of iTunes. Then i opet same m4a enhanced podcast in quicktime app on my pc, again everything work ok, i see chapters and i see pictures. Then i put same file on my server, i see that podcast in my podcast app on my iphone and ipad and when i stream it , i don't see pic and logo for chapters. when i scan my enhanced m4a podcast file i see that my file have: general,audio, video & menu section
in first general section

this not working on podcast app on iphone or ipad !
then i scan enhanced podcast file downloaded from podcast app from my iphone with working chapters and pic made with garage band on mac by someone
and i see sections: general,audio, video and text 1 and text 2 sections (my not working does not have that last 2 , my last is menu section)

Podreel — Enhanced podcast authoring tool for Windows
and try to build test podcast with that app, when i analyze enhanced podcast made with that app i see info say that podcast is made with garageband ??? this is fake tag made by podreel because podcast is made with podreel and not garage band, file made with podreel have this
Format :

Format profile :
Apple audio with iTunes info
Codec ID :
M4A
again format profile is same like one from that working.
is podreel make fake tag because podcast app in iphone and ipad play exclusively enhnaced podcas make with garage band (podreel fake tag) or somebody know where I'm wrong. why my enhanced podcast don't play pics and chapters when is on iphone or ipad podcast app. i will write again that my file work on downcast app on iphone or ipad, work on pc in itunes, work on quicktime player etc work everywhere except there where i want to work in podcast app on iphone or ipad

This is now real mistery to me !
i analyze your file here and you have in last section menu1 and menu 2 so maybe problem is somwhere around this, not in format id because you have ok format id like one that working ok

It's impossible to create Enhanced Podcasts on Intel Macs. Please read.

After vast amounts of frustration trying to create an Enhanced Podcast on my MacBook Pro, I tracked down the source of the problem:
$ file /Applications/GarageBand.app/Contents/MacOS/ChapterTool
/Applications/GarageBand.app/Contents/MacOS/ChapterTool: Mach-O executable ppc
GarageBand uses ChapterTool to add the artwork and chapter stops to the AAC file, and ChapterTool is PPC only. Command-line applications do not run under Rosetta. Simply put, there's no way to author enhanced podcasts if you're using an Intel Mac. None. Every other tool out there to do so needs ChapterTool, too.
Pathetic. If you, like me, are an Intel Mac user who'd like to create Enhanced Podcasts, provide some feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/garageband.html
15.4" MacBook Pro, 2ghz, 2gb, 100gb @7200rpm Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Simply put, there's no way to author enhanced podcasts if you're using an Intel Mac.
Sorry, but I don't buy this. Just created an Enhanced Podcast without any problems. And given that the whole podcast stuff was introduced together with the Intel Macs, we would have heard a lot of complaints here in the forum during the last 10 months. You're the first.

Having trouble with enhanced podcasts, Can anyone help me adjust my iPod?

Whenever I listen to my enhanced podcasts through iTunes, I have no problems viewing the photos the podcaster included in the program. However, when I play the same podcast in my iPod, the photos will not show. I only see the timeline with the little segments that represent the chapters. I can hit the forward and back arrows and I am taken the to the next chapter marker. But, unfortunately, I do not see the photos, as I do see them in iTunes.
Can anyone help me adjust my iPod to enable it to play enhanced podcasts correctly?
According to the iPod manuals, I should be able to see enhanced podcasts with no trouble.
Thanks.

I have solved it myself. Here's how I did it:
In iTunes, go to Edit and click to Show Art Work and leave it as "Hide Art Work." (Now it will download the enhanced messages.)
Now go to the iPod: From the Main Menu, go to Settings. At the Settings, go to the other Main Menu. From this Main Menu, go to Music and make sure that the following are on:
Playlists, Photos, and Photo Import, Videos, and Extras.
Good Luck.

Enhanced podcast looses photos in itunes. Any ideas?

I have been trying to several days to create an enhanced podcast with photos. When I share it into itunes I have the cover art but none of the other pictures. I am sharing it as an AAC encoder not mp3. It transfers into iweb perfectly fine, but not itunes. Any ideas?

Please explain your problem better. There a no photos in iTunes.
You can sync photos from your computer to your iPod via iTunes. You select in the Photos pane for the iPod in iTunes what folder of photos to sync to the iPod.

Dropped images in enhanced podcast

I have been creating enhanced podcasts and am noticing that a handful of images will not display after I've transfered the file from iTunes to my iPod. All files are saved and imported in the same way, yet less than a dozen out of 50-60 images won't display on the iPod. It plays and displays fine in iTunes. Is anyone else experiencing this problem. And if so what is a work around?
Thanks!

I'm having the exact same issue. My enhanced podcast (this is the first one I've done) is only about three minutes in, but has a ton of images, all of which play fine in iTunes, but do not play on either my iPod nano third-generation, or my second generation iPod touch. I have a hard time believing that the processor speed on those devices isn't fast enough to keep up, given that they can do so much (especially the iPod touch) with graphics. I really was that Apple would get on this, but in their relentless pursuit to push certain things, a lot is getting left out.

Enhanced podcast not publishing - runs perfectly in iWeb

All of a sudden my enhanced podcasts (audio tracks with photos) won't publish properly to my site. They appear correctly and run properly in iWeb, but when published only have audio. I have tried publishing from different locations thinking it could be a firewall issue, but that did not work. Any ideas?

Ok, I have found the answer to my own question. After banging my head against the wall for a long time and trying countless different things to get the podcast to work. I decided to try upgrading my hosting plan from the free GoDaddy hosting plan to the economy hosting plan. And voila Everything worked like it was supposed to in the first place. I only realized that the free hosting plan might be the problem after I tried creating a direct download link to the podcast and it did not work either. So I figured there was something fishy with the way the site was being hosted and it couldn't hurt to give it a try.
So boys and girls the moral to this story is don't use the free hosting plan provided by GoDaddy

Enhanced Podcasts Don't Display Pictures or Links.

Before the iOS 5 update, enhanced podcasts would periodically change pictures to match the topic or conversation amd links would appear in the upper center of the picture. Now, with the exact same podcast and episode just shows the podcast logo throughout the playback. Listening to the same podcast and episode on iTunes, the links amd pictures are fine and siplay properly. The podcast I am listening to is the Rooster Teeth Podcast (formerly known as the Drunk Tank).

hehe if somebody knows something this is def you Roger about first thing with seeing pic in itunes i think that i read all possible posts on web in last 7 days and nights and this is not working on my pc with control-click (Windows) but i don't care ! i wait for apple do magic bug fixing on new itunes version.

Enhanced podcast in separate window?

I have made a enhanced audio podcast, and the chapter/images show up fine in the iTunes main window. However, if I click the small image to pull up a larger image, the larger image does not update as the podcast continues to play.
In other words, for VideoCasts you can play the video in a separate window fine, but you cannot do something similar for enhanced podcasts.
I have seen similar posts on this forum, but I have not seen any answers yet.
Any news on this issue? Is this the only behavior for iTunes, or can I change iTunes to update the larger window? Is my enhance podcast screwed up somehow and that is causing the problem?

S.M.--
You're right about the current behavior of the player when it comes to viewing enhanced podcast artwork. If you want to make sure that an expanded player window can handle multiple images, stick to video (for now).
