How do I view an enhanced podcast?

I listen to Amateur Traveller and it is an enhanced podcast where I used to see picture content when I played it on my iPhone. How do I view enhanced podcasts with the new app?

I don't think you can anymore. Or at least, not easily. I just published my 11th episode of an enhanced podcast. Simultaneously, I updated the OS on my woefully outdated Iphone. This gave me the latest Podcast app update. As a result, I only see the Episode art and the first chapter art. After that, there are no other images shown even though my chapters are listed in the "Chapter" menu in the app. At first I thought I exported my episode incorrectly, but then I tried an older episode and had the same results. After some research, it appears that Apple has basically pulled its support for enhanced podcasts. This is evident by the fact that their latest updates of Garage Band have omitted podcast tools altogether. If you download the podcast episode into Itunes (on your laptop/desktop), you can still access the enhanced version. This is also true if you download the episode in Safari. But that doesn't make for convenient listening/watching on the go.
Sadly, the days of enhanced podcasts seem to be numbered. I'd love to hear what other enhanced podcast creators/listeners are experiencing with the lack of support for "enhanced" podcasting.

How do I view Music and Podcasts, etc. in my iTunes 12.0.1 Library?

In order to manage my ITunes Library I want to view content as a list AND I want to know how to delete Podcasts from the Library. Right click does not reveal any options.

How do I view/preview my podcast that I made in Garageband?

I don't know how to view my podcast and I don't have iweb to export it to. Can I download iweb or what?

You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

HT1689 how do i view only downloaded podcasts

Is there a way in the podcast app to view only the episodes you have downloaded in a list no matter the station it's from? I have auto download turned off, so I pick and choose the episodes I download from each station.

There is no longer a "is movie" option in this version. See screen shot. I only have the Any option and two random untitled album 2 and 1 option.

How do I view ratings in podcasts?

Used to be able to rate and view the ratings. Now you can rate with the right-click menu but I don't see where to view these ratings.

The Lion OS appears to be the real answer, when released later this month.
As longtime Windows PowerUser, converting to the Mac, Fullscreen was never consistent across all applications on the Windows platform. One of my initial reasons for using Opera as alternative browser was the mouse accessibility of full screen from the screen context menu. Something IE only made available via keyboard shortcut.
Lion appears to make full sreen an inate feature of the OS available to all applications... not just browsers.

Trouble viewing enhanced podcasts

When I am using iTunes, I can click on the album art and it displays (almost) full-screen in its own window.
When I am watching a video in iTunes, I can option-click the small image and the movie will play (almost) full-screen in its own window.
If I am watching an enhanced podcast (.m4b) in iTunes, the pictures change (like a slide show) at the beginning of each “chapter.” If I click one of these pictures, it displays (almost) full-screen in its own window. (So far so good...)
Here’s my question / problem:
When viewing an enhanced podcast in its own window, the pictures do not change in the large window. I can see the pictures still changing in the smaller “album art” window, but the only way to view the picture sequence in the larger window seems to be to click on the small image every time it advances to the new image.
Is this right? Is there some way to watch the changing pictures in their own window?

here's been my work around solution that seems to work fine - there's probably a quicker way, so let me know.
1. from garage band, share to disk (for better quality images, i took off the set images to 300x300 box). don't send to itunes yet. file exports as an .m4a.
2. open .m4a file using quicktime (i use quicktime player 10.0). file uploads images, chapters, etc.
3. save file as .mov file. (select format that works for you - i've been trying the HD 480p option).
4. drag .mov file to itunes.
5. sync MOVIES. play within movies.
6. play out of the video APP.
hope that helps. let me know if you have any better luck or other options. seems terrible that i would have to save every enhanced podcast as a .mov file.

No enhanced podcast with iPad

I've searched around and found a couple of posts in the iPad discussion that seem to confirm my worst fears: you cannot view an enhanced podcast on an iPad!!!! It's a brick! This must be because the "ipod" app I guess cannot carry out the high-tech sequencing of still graphics with the audio. Or did I miss something and Steve Jobs just announced that the iPad will have no artwork created after 1500, lest anything later be construed as too flashy? Apple, please give us back enhanced podcasts-- it's a fair trade for taking the iPad leap of faith.

I do enhanced podcasts for my online students with Keynote and Garage band. I created an .m4p and it plays FINE on my iPod touch, so I can't imagine why it won't work on an iPad.
I get the Episode artwork but none of the chapters. The tracks all show up in the list view, but no images. Also, if I display the Episode artwork, I can't get the controls to appear. Bug, bug, bug.

Can I change the size of my enhanced Podcast or correct the aspect ratio

I would like to be able to embed pictures in a Podcast that are 480x360. As a worst case, I would like them to be 320x240. Is this possible?
When I open my .m4a or .m4b in QuickTime I see that I can adjust the aspect ratio or size. However, as far as I can determine, QuickTime will not let me save the change unless I save into a format other than m4a or m4b.
Saving as a mov eliminates the chapter control which I want to keep.
Does anyone know of a way to fix this limitation?
I'd accept 480x480 if that were possible too!
Thanks!

Follow up information:
The aspect ratio appears correct in a video iPod or via the iTunes interface. However, if the same file is played via QuickTime then the aspect ratio is forced to a square.
The overall intent is to view the enhanced PodCast full screen which can be done via QuickTime. The "Now Playing" window in iTunes is too small (Clicking on it to bring up the current slide does not work as the slide is not updated concurrently with the "Now Playing" window.

Web links in enhanced podcast?

When viewing an enhanced podcast on my iPhone, web links embedded in images do not appear. Is this normal? It's a shame that they don't, given that Safari is onboard.
Grant.

Embedding links isn't something I've ever tried: I would suggest you ask in the GarageBand forum.

Cons of Enhanced Podcast?

I just started producing a podcast with a couple of students at the school where I teach. We'd like to do an enhanced podcast, along with the 'regular' flavor. Are there any cons to posting an enhanced podcast on the iTunes Music Store? (Listeners can subscribe straight to the regular feed from my web site, or listen on Odeo, as well, so I'm not concerned too much about compatibility...)
Should we just go ahead and make the iTunes feed exclusively enhanced? Leave it as a regular podcast? Or have both a regular and enhanced feed at the iTMS? Anyone have any advice?
Thanks!

When I first started my podcast, I would also include an enhanced version as well, available for download from my podcast site. The concerns I had with making only an enhanced podcast were #1: that those simply visiting the site (and not finding me through iTunes) could not view the enhanced podcast through the browser only. They would have to subscribe through iTunes to see it. #2: that I was not sure what different media players could handle the file types mp4, mov, etc. If a user on a PC did not have Quicktime installed, and I formatted the podcast into a .mov, they might not be able to view without an install.
I think offering both versions is a good way to make sure that all users can have access to your podcast, and I have seen others as well that used the method of offering a download of the enhanced version from their site. Another route may be to start a second feed that is the enhanced version only, so users can subscribe to either version.
Hope this helps!

How to view enhanced podcast slides on iPad mini

How can I view slides for enhanced podcasts on an iPad Mini?
It seems it used to be possible but a recent iPad update has disabled the functionality.

Thank you for the attempt to help.
I've also downloaded Downcast.
It does show the album cover but it doesn't actually show the slides as they transition throughout the podcast.

Viewing chapter artwork in M4A enhanced podcasts

Hi, I just acquired a new iPod Nano.
I can't seem to see the chapter artwork when I listen (and watch) my enhanced audio podcasts (m4a) (Among others This Week in Media and sneaker.fm) .
I'm also a podcast producer and tried watching my podcast on the nano, but unlike my older iPod Photo it does not seem to show the album art coupled to each chapter. Do I miss some sort of setting?
I really really wanted just to see FULL SCREEN chapter artwork while watching the m4a files. Please fix this or help me!

I wanted to add my comments about how disappointing it is to not be able to view enhanced podcasts on the 3G nano. I develop them for educational use (you can embed large images for Quicktime computer based viewing and we have little need for live action video). I do hope Apple gets this fixed-or makes an official pronouncement if they intend to abandon the enhanced format. It would be a REAL pain to have to redo my extant material in the video format. There are many annoying minor bugs in the 1.1 upgrade-these are described in other posts. The price we pay as early adopters I suppose.

Viewing Enhanced Podcasts?

Hopefully I'm overlooking something, but I can't seem to figure out how to automatically view still images included in enhanced podcasts on my iPad. When I download the podcasts from iTunes, they load and play via my iPod application. I see the poster frame and the audio plays fine, but I can't see subsequent images the way I can when viewing the same podcasts in iTunes on my MBP, MP or MB.
The podcasts I'm trying to watch is "The Martin Bailey Photography Podcast," in case an example will help.
Thanks!

How to upload enhanced podcast to itunes feed?

I currently have a popular podcast in itunes here
http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=214060101
to which I have been submitting mp3 files. However I just bought my first MacBook in order to create Enhanced Podcasts in the AAC format. I use a podcast host (Hipcast.com) to upload my files and publish to the feed. But they dont allow me to upload the m4a version. How can I upload from (GarageBand) directly to my itunes feed?

If Hipcast don't allow you to upload m4a files you will have to find a different host. In theory all you have to do is to edit the feed file to give the URL of m4a files which you have uploaded to a different server; but it's very probable that like other similar services Hipcast doesn't allow your direct access to the feed.

Enhanced Podcast - How to include message?

Hi there. I recently subscribed to the Trance Around The World podcast via the iTunes Music Store and when I was listening to episode #310 on my iPhone I tapped on the screen to fast forward and noticed that when I did that a message comes up in the podcast (screenshot located here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/21652493@N06/4425049805/).
How can I make this kind of message in my enhanced podcasts in GarageBand?
First time I'm ever seeing this!
What's a good place to learn of all the enhanced podcast options that are available out there?
Cheers,
Keith

One way to create that kind of message is to use the Lyrics info panel in iTunes.
Highlight the podcast in iTunes, press Cmd-I or through the menus click File -> Get Info. Click the Lyrics tab and enter your text. It will ghost over the background artwork on the iPhone/iPod Touch.
Some podcasts use this to include show notes with the podcast.
