Error submitting a podcast

I have tried to submit a podcast to itunes and straight away it was rejected the email said
"An error was encountered while trying to add your feed, [ http://motorhomehq.co.uk/index.php/feed/podcast/ ]".
I submitted the URL to feed validator and received the following answer
line 2, column 0: Unable to validate namespace: http://www.rawvoice.com/rawvoiceRssModule/. See the RawVoice specification at http://www.rawvoice.com/services/tools-and-resources/rawvoice-rss-2-0-module-xml ns-namespace-rss2/ [help]
I have searched the web and found that this should not be a problem so I don't know what I can do now as itunes does not give a reason for the rejection.
Kind regards
Chris

You are right that the Rawvoice 'error' is irrelevant (it's simply that FeedValidator has never heard of Rawvoice).. The problem is in the PHP: on entering the URL you give in a browser it redirects to
http://motorhomehq.co.uk/index.php/feed/podcast/?doing_wp_cron=1396423836.097280 9791564941406250
and is fairly slow about it. Once done the feed is fine, and if you enter your URL in FeedValidator it comes out OK.
Not so when subscribing manually in iTunes. When I subscribed using the redirected URL it worked, though it was quite slow to do so. However when I entered your URL iTunes complained that there was an error in downloading the feed and it failed to work.
So evidently the PHP is not working with iTunes and the Store. I can't advise on PHP; but it it's at all possible you should provide a direct and simply URL to your feed, not involving PHP or redirects. Failing that you should submit the full URL as I give it above; that should work as long as it isn't so slow as to time out the process.

There was an error submitting your podcast

We have installed Podcast Producer 2 on a demo 10.6.2 server. We are able to use Podcast Capture directly on the server and podcasts are produced and able to be accessed through the Podcast library.
But when attempting to use Podcast Capture on a 10.5.8 client, after logging in and recording the podcast, when publishing we get the following message from Podcast Capture:
"There was an error submitting your podcast"
Some things I have noticed from the Server Logs:
Apache Error Log:

Our servername is demomaster.nobl.k12.in.us, but our local hostname is demomaster.local. Would this be a problem? changeip -checkhostname shows "success"

The 401 Unauthorized also shows up even when we use podcast capture directly on the server. But the podcast still works then. So I'm not sure this is really an issue.
I have a feeling this is some sort of permissions issue, but I have tried changing the permissions on the /var/pcast and /var/pcast/server folder
http://www.sysarchitects.com/node/92
And I have turned off digest authentication in cluster_preference.plist as well with no success.

Any other ideas? We really need to get this working. Thanks for any help.

I keep finding a little more information...
The plist file of the podcast that was to be uploaded looks like this:

How do I change my server so that it uses the FQDN "demomaster.nobl.k12.in.us" everywhere instead of sometimes using the local hostname demomaster.local.
It appears this is a DNS issue. We have set the hostname using scutil and running changeip -checkhostname shows
Current HostName = demomaster.nobl.k12.in.us
DNS HostName = demomaster.nobl.k12.in.us
The names match. There is nothing to change.
dirserv:success = "success"
nslookup on the ip shows that the reverse is working and pointing to the FQDN.
Computer Name in Server admin is set to: demomaster.nobl.k12.in.us
Local Hostname is set to: demomaster
but under the podcast Producer overview screen in Server Admin our Podcast Library and Capture URL both show http://demomaster.local:port instead of the FQDN.
How do we change this?
Thanks again.

Timeout error when submitting feedburner podcast feed to itunes

This is my first time submitting my podcast to itunes, I have created the feed with feedburner and I can manually subscribe and download the podcast in itunes however when i try to submit the feed I recieve the generic timout error, see below. I have tried for several days with different machines to no avail. Any suggestions?
Feed Address: http://feeds.feedburner.com/ThePortcast
Thanks in advance.

The feed appears to be OK; sometimes individual servers can behave oddly with the Store but as yours is a Feedburner feed there shouldn't be any problem, so there is no obvious reason why this is happening.
You could try the allternative submission URL:
https://buy.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/publishPodcast
If that doesn't work one possibility is that there is a problem at the Store end, which does happen though it doesn't usually go on for several days. You could try emailing support at podcasts 'at' apple.com but I have to say that you likely won't get a helpful answer. Otherwise I can only suggest giving it a day or two and trying again.

I submitted my podcast and I got an email saying error, I checked with the feed validator and got this message: This feed does not validate. line 40, column 6: Undefined item element: itunes:order, how do sort this out, someone help me please.

I submitted my podcast and I got an email saying error, I checked with the feed validator and got this message: This feed does not validate. line 40, column 6: Undefined item element: itunes:order, how do sort this out, someone help me please.

Ignore it. 'itunes:order' is a recent addition which FeedValidator doesn't know about. If your podcast is rejected that is unlikely to be the reason. Of course as you haven't posted the feed URL nor the text of the error message I can't make any further comment.

HELP!! "timed out" submiting video podcast through iweb to itunes

I am trying to submit a vid podcast through iweb to itunes and am getting a timed out message. Please help. I have read other posts similar to my problem, and have checked to see that all of my fields are filled in. Don't know what the deal is. thanks for the help.

This is what I received from iTunes help:
Dear Eric,
The iTunes team reviews each podcast submission. Depending on demand,
it may take a week or two before the podcast is published.
I'm sorry to hear you received an error when you tried to publish a
podcast to the iTunes Store. If you are re-submitting a podcast for
review, the iTunes Store may detect the submission as a duplicate and
generate an error message stating that the feed has already been submitted.
You can follow these steps to resubmit the podcast:
1) Change the title and link fields of the RSS feed to something other
than what they are now.
2) Resubmit the podcast feed via iTunes.
3) Once you have successfully submitted the podcast, you can change the
title and link fields back to what they were.
There are several less-common reasons iTunes might have displayed this
error:
* The podcast's RSS feed was not available.
* The podcast's RSS feed timed out.
* The podcast's RSS feed could not be validated.
If you are the podcaster, make sure your podcast is available on the
Internet. Your podcast's RSS feed also should conform to the iTunes
extended podcast RSS specification.

Discussions forums, which have a wealth of information about specific issues.

Trouble submitting my podcast

Hi community,
I get an unspecific error message, when submitting my podcast: http://www.startuprad.io/feed/
I am not sure what is wrong and why iTunes won't accept it. Please advice!
Best
Joe

This is not a podcast feed. It has no 'enclosure' tags containing the URLs of your media files, as required by iTunes. and lacks the 'iTunes declaration' in the second line. There is a reference to an mp3 file in you 'content: encoded' tags but iTunes does not read these; there is also a reference to a .swf file which iTunes does not play.
You have constructed your feed in WordPress. I can't advise on the details of WordPress but I suspect you will need either to use the PodPress plugin or route your feed through Feedburner and add the media files there. The former would be preferable as Feedburner has its own issues (and there are rumours of its impending discontinuation).

Submitting a Podcast URL

Hello,
I have just submitted a Podcast to the Itunes Directory by 'podcast feed url' - and everything worked fine.
But now, I want to cancel that submission. The reason, is because I added new items to the podcast and need to re-submit or submit a new URL.
How do I cancel the original submission? Is there a way to do this? Is there a way to re-submit?
I tried to submit it again - but get error "The feed has already been submitted".
Is there any way to cancel the feed - and start again?
Any help greatly appreciated.

Does any one know how to stop a submission to the iTunes Store?
Or
How do you add new items to your previous submission?
Any help greatly appreciated...

I submitted my podcast but never received an email.

I submitted my podcast but never received an email. I tried tried resubmitting but it stated that it had already received my submission. Anyway to resend a confirmation email?

The fact that you get an error message on trying to resubmit indicates that your submission was successful. You should have received a confirmation but there's always the possibility that it's gone astray or been spam-trapped.
It can take two weeks, sometimes quite a bit more, for a podcast to be accepted, at which point you should get an email giving you the Store page URL, so check that you haven't been spam-trapping such messages. Otherwise you'll just have to try searching in the Store from time to time (though this can take a further period to become effective).

I am stuck with submitting my podcast

I keep getting this message. This is for a new podcast. >-

Error submitting tasks: Operation could not be completed within the specified time

I've created a Batch Application and I'm having an issue running a job. Its suppose to synchronize 2 azure blob containers.
In my JobSplitter, I compare 2 azure blob containers and find the files in the first container that need to be copied over to the second one. Just figuring out which files to copy over can take about 5 to 6 minutes the first time this is run depending
on the number of files that need to get copied over.
Once we have the files that need to be copied, we group them into sets and create a task for each set.
The exe that the TaskProcessor runs doesn't do anything just yet. All it does is write the arguments sent to it into a file. Nothing major.
On the last run, about 900 tasks were created. Four of the tasks completed successfully. I can download the output files for them just fine. The next 4 tasks failed with an error.
Looking in the JobLogs, I see this:
The job orchestrator finished
Failed to process job ac8dd4a3-d882-4ec1-847d-48844fa3e1f4: Error submitting tasks: Operation could not be completed

Has anyone seen this before?
Thanks,
matt

This error is usually a transient error, typically related to an internal storage timeout. We're working on a fix for it.
In the meantime, if you go into the Batch Apps portal, select the failed job and click Reprocess in the command bar, Batch Apps should re-run the failed tasks and the not-run tasks. (Note that the tasks that already succeeded will not be re-run, and
we will not re-run the job splitter to create new tasks.)
Please let us know if you continue to see this problem or if reprocessing the job doesn't work for you.

Submitting a podcast from taiwan

Frustrating!
I have an account. I am in Taiwan. My credit card is from Taiwan. Because apple only sells iphone apps in Taiwan, i am unable to access the US store unless i change my location to the US. Then i can get podcasts. When i try to submit MY podcast, it says i cannot purchase anything because i live in Taiwan. Of course, i am SUBMITTING a podcast feed, not purchasing anything! There must be some way to work around this, or does apple have a policy of censoring content from non-approved nations?

Submitting Your Podcast to iTunes

I need to break my question into steps, otherwise it will get confusing. If there is anyone that can advise me on my next steps that would be great!
1. I submitted my Podcast and realized I submitted the incorrect feed URL.
2. I than removed my Podcast from iTunes.
3. While submitting the new feed URL I didn’t receive any prompt, so I thought I should submit the URL again.
4. I received this message reading, “it appears your feed has already been submitted.”
5. The first URL has no connection with the second (new) URL so I am wondering why I received this message. (it appears your feed has already been submitted)
Can anyone help!

I can't see any reason why there should be a problem. The only thing about your feed is that there is no 'itunes:duration' tag containing the duration of each episode in the format hh:mm:ss so that the Store can't know what the duration of the podcast is - however this shouldn't cause a problem about submissions.
Occasionally the submissions process falls over and give incorrect rejections, so possibly that's the problem. You could try leaving it for a day or so and trying again.

Submitting a podcast and iTunes approval

I submitted a podcast/podcast feed a number of weeks ago and it successfully published in iTunes, however a few days after successfully publishing the feed, iTunes removed it from the US store (most likely because of technical difficulties). I then re-created the podcast using Feed for All and have successfully validated the feed on numerous sites on the Web.
I have since resubmitted the feed to iTunes, however the feed is not publishing ... I check our link and it says the feed "cannot be located in the US store."
My question: How do I get my feed on iTunes even though my feed is valid and clean? I have submitted and resubmitted it over 3 times in the past 10 days with no luck.
Any feedback or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

One, how long does it take for a podcast to be accepted and found on the iTunes store?
Up to two weeks.
Two, how does iTunes define- copyright? I have heard numerous podcasts with sound bytes taken from tv and radio programs, and they have all been approved.
If the copyright owner raises a complaint, the podcast may be removed. Apple does not appear to automatically screen content.

Re-submitting my podcast feed after it has been deleted dosen't work?

Hi
I had recently submitted a podcast feed for my company. However I made a mistake in asking to have it deleted so I could make some changes.
Now having completely revised my understanding of how the feed works, I have now re-submitted my feed:
http://www.shogunaudio.co.uk/podcast.xml
When the podcast was up before it ran fine, and was very popular. My feed is valid, I can subscribe using the 'advanced - subscribe to podcast' in iTunes. But for some reason it won't register. I have re-submitted the same feed 3 times and I don't get a 'duplicate feed' warning, it just says that it is submitted and I will be getting an email, but nothing happens.
I desperately want to get this up and running asap, what is wrong here?
Thanks

I can't really say what is going on, but I don't think submitting from another account or changing the IP number will have any effect. Normally in this situation you should change the title slightly, and also rename the feed - as I suggested, you could call it podcast1.xml (so that the URL changes) - these are the parameters affecting it. The only other possibility I can think of is that you have managed to introduce some problem into the feed which is causing it not to be accepted (though if you can subscribe from the 'Advanced' menu this seems unlikely).
Would you like to post the URL of the revised feed?
