How to prevent video podcast downloads

Hi, I have a first generation iPod nano and so can't play video. Some of the podcasts I subscribe to sometimes have a video download instead of audio. Is there any way to prevent iTunes from downloading these video podcasts?
Many thanks!

Hi hamid_ss,
Currently Firefox for Android does this by default with embedded players. Some sites go automatically to full screen too which may be what you are running into. Try it.

  • Video Podcasts download but remain greyed out

    Hello,
    Just installed a new hard drive and upgraded to latest itunes. Video Podcasts download but then remain greyed out.
    My only thought is that I don't have latest Quick Time. I have 7.02. Afraid of the latest QT as I see it causing probs over on the QT forum.
    thanks for any input,
    Al
    using ibook G4

    Upgraded QT to 7.2 and that did the trick.

  • How Well Will Video Podcasting Work?

    How well will video podcasting work on a Mac Mini, an iBok, and a PowerBook? I'm going to get a Mac (no doubts here) and I want to do some podcasting (preferably video podcasting) and i was wondering which to get I don't doubt that all of them could do it exceptionally well. I was just wondering if I could do it well with the Mac Mini or iBook, but I could get the PowerBook but I would have to wait about an extra month to get it (money reasons). Almost forgot to mention I've done video podcasting with a friend to help him test it out and it went well, so I thought i would do it too when i get my Mac, but I was wondering ehich would be best.

     You have landed in the iSight Discussions area. I do NOT podcast, so I cannot answer your questions directly.
    If you intend to use GarageBand for your podcasting, you may get better advice in GarageBand 3 Discussions.
    If you intend to use GarageBand and the other iLife 06 apps for your podcasting, any computer that meets the iLife: System Requirements should work.
    If you are considering different software, check the system requirements for those applications to be sure you get compatible equipment.

  • How to delete video podcast without using iTunes

    My Mac is G5 PPC, OSX 10.4.11, so cannot use
    iTunes to sync Ipad; so is there a way of deleting downloaded video podcasts from the iPad?
    When headphone is connected to the iPad, should the internal speaker not be automatically disconnected like on the iPod?

    Appreciate suggestion, but does not work. Maintaining touch on the title, highlight the video, no delete check mark appears; letting go start the video playing again.
    Kappy's suggestion doesn't work for me either. Just go into the iPod App, click on Podcasts, and swipe to the right. You should get a "Delete" block on the right. That's how it works on my iPad.

  • Video podcasts downloaded directly to my iPhone

    I can't get rid of. I've downloaded directly some video podcasts on my iPhone and now they won't got away. even when I connect to iTunes. My iTunes is set up so that when a podcast is [played it goes away and is erased from iTunes and the iPhone. It works when I download the podcast from iTunes but keeps sticking around on the iPhone when it's been downloaded directly to the iPhone even when it's been played.
    Can I erase podcast directly on an iPhone and how?
    Thx

    delete it from your itunes library and sync your iphone
    or swipe left in your iphone to show delete button (iOS 5 only)

  • How tro Keep Video Podcast Until I Want to Delete It?

    I once had my podcast set to delete after I watched the episode, but I now have a video podcast on my 3d gen Nano and other podcasts that I do not want to be removed until I do it manually. I don't remember how I set this up originally, and would appreciate any help in telling me how to automatically download new episodes but keep them (even after they'be been watched) until I decide to delete them myself. Thanks!

    If the podcast doesn't appear in iTunes, is there another place where it can be seen in order to delete it?  I'm having the same problem with my iPod Touch.  I don't see the podcast in either the left drop-down list or in the list under the podcast tab where you can sync selected items (but I do see more recently downloaded podcasts in both locations and I can delete them).  The podcast I want to delete is still on my iPod, but that's the only place where I can see it.

  • How do I stop podcasts downloading across multiple devices

    How do I stop podcasts subscribed to on one device (an Imac) from automatically downloading on another device (a Macbook) which uses the same appli id?

  • How to RESUME a podcast download?

    When podcast downloads stop for some reason, there is the option to RESUME the download. But in my case (am I the only one?) nothing resumes: the download restarts from zero. Why?
    In my case that is very frustrating. I live in Indonesia and have a very low download speed: it can take 9 or 10 hours to download a video podcast of 20 minutes. I can still live with that. But what makes it frustrating: if there is a short power blackout or internet disconnection (they happen often!) I must restart my download from the beginning. Sometimes 10 attempts are necessary.
    Also the PAUSE button in my iTUNES has a problem: it does not pause/interrupt the download, but stops it and I must start from the beginning again.
    Any solution or alternative?
    I am subscribed to 3 daily video news downloads, so would prefer a solution that still can handle automatic downloads...
    Thanks

    I also did a little digging and many others are having the same problem and this has been a problem for a long time. It seems to only occur when downloading Podcasts or iTunesU files, while the Apple Store seems to pause and resume correctly. Here's some links of those who have the same problem, but there are no solutions from within iTunes.

  • 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 download - then dissapear!

    I am running iTunes 10.5.2.11 and Windows XP Pro... This issue just started recently, I believe when I upgraded my iPad to IOS 5.
    Any time I try to download any video podcast in iTunes on my computer, it begins downloading, then finishes and says "done", then when I check my podcasts, it's not there, and it is gone from the downloads list. What's up with that?

    Try installing the latest version of quicktime.  I have been fighting this issue for several days after re-installing my computer from the ground up.  I have read websites, forums, downloaded and paid for RegCure, and contacted support.  In the moment before I demoilished my computer I had the epiphany to check quicktime.  Once I downloaded the latest version and it associatted the files to quicktime they now show up.

  • How many times is podcast downloaded?

    My organization, a chorus, publishes a weekly podcast of our recorded rehearsals. We want to know how many times each podcast is downloaded. Does iTunes have any tools that will tell us how often a single podcast is downloaded through iTunes? I don't see anything about this in the support.

    iTunes does not provide this information. If your media files are hosted on a server which provides PHP (MobileMe does not) then there is a method described here.

  • Preventing video podcasts from filling up my iPhone memory

    I like to download video podcasts into iTunes so that I can watch them later on my computer, but I don't want them syncing onto my iPhone and using up all of it's memory.  Is there a way to keep them in iTunes without having them transfer onto my phone or even better, allow me to transfer only one or two of them onto my phone and keep the rest in iTunes?

    Hi there Dave in Anacortes,
    I sounds like you may need to manually manage your Podcasts. Take a look at the article below for more information.

  • How to prevent video playback from getting paused when switching to another tab on Firefox for Android?

    In Firefox for Android 27.0, if you play video in one tab and while it's playing you switch to another tab, the video gets paused. I want the video to continue to play while I'm viewing another tab (so I can at least hear its sound!).
    How can I do that?
