HOW TO DISPLAY VIDEO PODCAST ARTWORK NOT VIDEO FIRST FRAME

How do I get the photo for my video podcast to display? Feed: http://drcraigjohnson.net/podcasts/video/podcast.xml I only see the first frame of the video in cover flow. Code validates. The image is 600 x 600 per iTune specs, but testing with 300 x 300 didn't help. Thank you!

The coverflow art equals the album coverart. That art MUST be embedded to show. It doesn't matter if you are actually listed in the iTunes store or not. Now the picture that shows in the store along with website info, customer reviews, etc. is pulled from the iTunes image tags (<itunes:image href="http://yourpictureURL.jpg" /> within your podcast xml file.
I found the following link within the podcast maker forum with more info from a forum moderator: http://homepage.mac.com/rfwilmut/notes/faq.html#coverart
BTW when a picture is embedded (whether using iTunes to embed or something else), the actual image, NOT a link to the image is "built into" the file whether mp3 audio or m4v video. I did extensive tests embedding a 50k picture and saw the file's size increase substantially, though not exactly matching the photo size.
Embedding solved my video coverflow picture issue too. Changing/uploading a new image to your server will NOT change the picture shown in album coverart. Thus your "channel" can have a changeable image (the one in the iTunes tag) but each episode can have its own logo/album art.

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.

Podcast artwork not downloading

Hi, everyone.
I'm having problems with podcast artwork not showing up. I normally download my podcasts through iTunes, and for several feeds, album art shows up in the iTunes Store but isn't embedded in the files I download.
I always figured that the providers were just somehow not embedding the art in the individual files, but then I noticed that when I download the files directly from my iPhone, they show up just fine. To test it out, I tried two copies of the same file -- one downloaded directly to the phone and another synced from iTunes -- and got the same result: one with album art, one without.
Any idea what's going on here?
Thanks,
--Brian

Also have this problem - Even after vigorous Menu>Get Album Artwork attempts. My Podcasts look like empty tabs with zero differentiation between each other...
Come on Apple, stop treating podcast talent like chode, they're one of the only things keeping you guys from having to totally overhaul the iTunes app... how is that going by the way? I guess we'll all just keep jumping over to Spotify until you get that one figured out... Better hope they don't dig into podcasts too =/
Jokes aside, I love iTunes, but it really need the artwork to complete the experience, eh?
P's,

How do I remove podcast stations, not individual podcasts, from my iphone 5?

Contacts and calender you can put on icloud then sync to your new phone when its setup to the icloud account. Not sure so with emails.

Video podcast will not upload onto iPod. Dimension changed!problem!

I usually subscribe to a specific vid podcast but lately i have noticed that my ipod will not sync the new vid podcasts. it's very frustrating! i have had a closer look and realised that the vids that don't sync into my iPod have a larger dimension 852x480 compared to the old 480x270. This is an MPEG-4 file. What is the problem? What should i do? Can i adjust the dimension? if yes how? I'm not sure if this is the problem but if there are any suggestions i'd appreciate them.

When the Sync finishes, do you see a message saying something like "video xxxx has not been transferred to your iPod because it cannot be played on this iPod"? If so, you could try highlighting the video in question and clicking on *Advanced/Create iPod or iPhone version* (it will be different wording if you are using iTunes 7 or earlier!).
However, unless iTunes 8 has "improved" this feature, it takes along time to convert and it does not always work. I gave up with the conversions.
The "problem" is probably caused by the Podcast producer changing the format of their Podcasts, possibly for a good reason. Check first in iTunes or even on the Podcast producer's web site, do they have a different Podcast (of the same programme) especially for the iPod and you are downloading the wrong one?
(Out of interest, what is the vid Podcast you are referring to, did you subscribe to it in iTunes?)
After that, you could try contacting the Podcast's producers to let them know what has happened. Bear in mind though, that Podcasts are produced independently of Apple/iTunes and are intended for all makes of MP3, not just iPods. So they may not care that only iPod users cannot watch it.
Good luck.

Video Podcasts are not syncing

I initially thought this was a problem with my ipod, but after looking at the file types that I'm downloading (the Clerks 2 and South Park video podcasts) it looks like the file type I'm downloading isn't compatible with the ipod (quicktime). Why is this happening? Why is a video podcast not compatible with my ipod? Am I doing something wrong?
NG

Video Podcasts do not have to publish in iPod compatable formats. Some podcasters may feel the resolution is too low for their requirements.

Video podcast will not start

After I downloaded the video-Podcasts and I want to start them, nothing wil happen.
The audio-podcats are functioning okay.

How can I view just music - not videos - in the libary and playlists?

I've noticed that when creating smart playlists and viewing the libarary I cannot filter out videos... is there a way to do this without having to just uncheck the videos and pretend they aren't there or is this something that apple didn't think of?
I want to create smart playlists to listen to in my car and want to back up my library on dvd-roms, that is where this becomes a problem. If anyone knows how to change the settings so that videos don't show up in certain playlists or on the libarary I would appreciate it a lot.

How can I view my full billing history for the app and music stores without iTunes installed?
No.
If my account has been compromised
If you even think this may have happened, immediately change your password.

"Video Podcast" Was not copied to the iPod because it cannot be played on this iPod

I recently got an Ipod Nano 7th Gen. I am trying to put a video podcast, from itunes, onto it but keep getting the message that it cannot be played. From reading other answers I have seen that the definiton can be an issue but as far as I know, video podcasts are all SD.
Is this a problem with my iPod, itunes or my iPod software?

We are encountering the same problems with both our new iPod Nano 7th Gen. Both iTunes and iPod have been updated with the most recent software.

Video podcasts will not go to video podcasts folder

I have a smokin new 80g ipod video. A video podcast i would like to watch will only show up in the regular podcast folder. The video podcast folder remains empty despite some effort. any ideas?

Well it came marked as movie. I changed it to music video. It now works on Ipod under music video file but why wont it go to Videopodcast file. Is it a problem from the podcaster?

Video podcast on non-video ipod

I wanna download ask a ninja podcast so I can listen to it on my 20 gig iPod, but its a video podcast. Will I be able to listen to it on my iPod without the video? Or will it just not work?

It doesn't work on mine, as is.
Many TV Shows, etc. purchased from the Music Store can be converted to sound only. Right Click>Convert Selection to [Audio Format]. This slightly defeats the purpose of spending an extra $1 for the video, though.
I don't think that trick works with Podcasts.

Help! Ipod 1.3 won't play video podcasts on Ipod Video

Help! I just upgraded to Ipod version 1.3 on my Ipod 5th generation video Ipod. The upgrade downloaded and loaded fine and the Ipod rebooted and connected to Itunes. Itunes updated some new video podcasts and I got an error message the the videos from "The New Yorker Animated Cartoons." Neither the 3/13/08 or 3/14/08 podcasts would work and gave ther error that the video would not play on my Ipod. I next tried reloading the 3/7/08 video which used to work on my Ipod and it failed as well. I'm afraid that many other podcasts may fail as they get downloaded.
It seems likely that this is a problem with the 1.3 firmware. Can I get some help to get things working?
Thanks
Ken West

I don't know if this link, from Apple, will solve your problems but at least for now, I am able to see the video in podcasts. The second to the last sentence was what helped me. Good luck. Fujishu
FROM THE APPLE LINK: problem--iPod plays audio but not videos, movies, or TV shows
Last Modified on: January 26, 2007
Article: 302828
If the audio for movies plays through the headphones and you see "Now Playing" on the iPod screen with a progress bar, but the video does not appear on the iPod screen, then you may have the TV Out video setting turned on.
To change your TV Out setting so you can view video with your sound:
Navigate on your iPod to Videos > Video Settings
Select TV Out to set it to Off or Ask.
If the issue continues, make sure you are accessing the video through the Videos menu. If you have a video mixed in an audio playlist, you also won't be able to see the video.

How to display sub table and NOT repeat each detail line?

I am going nuts trying to get this thing to display correctly, so I am someone can help me. I am trying to display a sub table (not subreport - tried that and it doesn't work) for detail records. For Example on an invoice items may have child items.
I am using Crystal 11
I have two tables iDetail and iSubDetail
My detail section looks like this:
D   iDetail.itemNum                              iDetail.price
           iSubDetail.itemNum
I have a Left Outer link from iDetail.itemNum --> iSubDetail.itemNum
I should see something like this:
itemOne                  $50.00
     subItemOne
     subItemTwo
     subItemThree
     subItemFour
itemTwo                $25.00
itemThree              $30.00
etc...
Instead, my Crystal report displays this:
itemOne                  $50.00
     subItemOne
itemOne                  $50.00
     subItemTwo
itemOne                  $50.00
     subItemThree
itemOne                  $50.00
     subItemFour
itemTwo                $25.00
itemThree              $30.00
etc...
and of course the total for the invoice is wrong.
I have tried all the different links and a subreport, but I cannot get it to display correctly. Does anyone have any ideas??

I tried subreport but I can't figure out how to turn it OFF for non-relative items; from the above example data I would get with a subreport:
itemOne $50.00
subItemOne
subItemTwo
subItemThree
subItemFour
itemTwo $25.00
subItemOne
subItemTwo
subItemThree
subItemFour
itemThree $30.00
subItemOne
subItemTwo
subItemThree
subItemFour
Looks great for itemOne, but I can't turn it off for itemTwo and itemThree. I have tried hiding the subreport if iDetail.itemNum =
iSubDetail.itemNumi, but if SubDetail table is accessed it repeats the iDetail record like the original post.
I tried hiding it in the subreport, but it does not know what the main report record is. I couldn't find anyway to PASS the itemNum from the main report to the subreport. If I could pass it as a variable, I could just hide the subreport when it is NE to iSubDetail.itemNum.
I kind of got it working by grouping the iDetail record by itemNum. However, the problem with that is when there really is multiple iDetail records, the invoice only shows one!! So, I would still like to find a better solution,
Thanks for your reply.

Want to change podcast artwork: not showing up in iTunes Store

Hi. I want to change the icon/artwork for my podcast.
My website (created with iWeb) = www.manleywoman.com
My podcast in iTunes Store = Manleywoman SkateCast
I use Garageband to create my podcast, then save to iWeb, then save to iTunes. So I changed the artwork on the podcast itself in Garageband. That worked fine and shows up properly on my website and on the episode for which the artwork was changed. I thought that changing the artwork on the podcast RSS page of my website would automatically change it in the iTunes Store, but so far no luck.
Can someone walk me through how to make the proper artwork show up in the iTunes Store? Right now it's just a broken link. Thanks

You can update your artwork via feedburner.
1. Go to feedburner.com and log in to your account.
2. Click on your feed for the show.
3. Click on the OPTIMIZE tab at the top, then click SMARTCAST on the navigation bar to your left.
4. Under PODCAST IMAGE LOCATION you can add the url to the image you want to use (store it in your site folder somewhere).
You can also add in keywords, and description as well.
Hope that helps.
