I need to sort video podcasts by description field

Some TV channels send programs as reruns. Sometimes I download whole seasons and watch them in long patch. It's frustrating to look for duplicates so I need to sort the episodes / programs by description field. Howcome this is not possible.

Cheeking,

  • Is there any way to read a video podcast's description before playing it?

    I subscribed to a (German) video podcast. It's episodes are all named by their date, but no info on their content. The episode's content is written in the episodes description, which - as far as I could find out so far - I can only read on my iPod if I play that episode in audio mode and hit several times the middle key to change the screen.
    Now, I'd like to choose, what to play (in video mode), before I start playing it. Any way to access the podcast's desciption before playing it?
    Thank you folks!
    TC

    As far as I am aware, there is no way to read the description before playing it.
    Not only would I like to be able to do that but I would like to know the running time of a Podcast (video or audio) before playing it and of course I would prefer the Podcasts to be listed in chronological order.

  • Populating description field in selection-screen

    Hi Experts,
    My WD report has a selection-screen with select-options and parameters built using IF_WD_SELECT_OPTIONS.
    One of the select-options has a search help, but the value it returns is a guid, so I want to have a new read-only description field, populated with the description of the selected value, next to the input field for the guid.
    How can I do this?
    I tried adding a new read-only parameter field and populating it in WDDOMODIFYVIEW but I got a short dump when I tried to set the value, because the new field is not in the context of the component controller.
    Many thanks,        Ben

    Hi Ben,
    You will have to define the new field in the context and then programatically bind the value of the description field to this attribute.
    But ideally, you can have a structure, which the two fiels (guid & description), and define a search help which is mapped to the structure, then you do not need to do any programming, the description field should get populated automatically.
    Hope this helps.

  • Maddening File Info Description field behavior

    After switching to CS3 for Mac, on a new MacBook running 10.4.11, I have been experiencing a maddening phenomenon when captioning photos.
    When I write a caption for a photo that contains very similar information to a previous photo, when in the "Description" field of "File Info," I like to click on the triangle next to the field and import the information, thus saving many key strokes.
    But in CS3, unlike CS, whenever there is a comma in the caption, it stops copying the information at the placement of the comma. So, in one of my typical run-on sentences, I have to import and paste several times if there is a comma anywhere in the sentence. That last sentence, for example, would have needed to be imported to the description field in three chunks.
    Has anyone else encountered this? Is this a bug or a feature?
    Help, please!

    It is a known bug from CS2, but apparently ignored while developing CS3. However using Bridge you can select multiple files and using the metadata panel easily add metadata to all and select some or one to add additional data to the file info or other fields. :-)

  • Need an option to filter video podcasts out in the regular podcasts menu

    The problem is that when you have a lot of podcasts, both video and audio, it is easy to focus in on only the video podcasts but when you are viewing the regular podcasts menu it shows both video and audio only podcasts. I find that I am spending a lot of time trying to remember which ones are audio only when scrolling through my list because I don' t want to listen to only the audio of a video podcast and have it marked as listened to already. Some video and audio version have similar names but different content, such as the NYTimes David Pogue tech reviewer has both an audio and a video podcast and they ARE different content. I'm sure that I am not the only one who has wished there was a way to separate the audio only podcasts from the video ones in the podcast menu.
    My proposal...that as many people as possible submit a feature request to Apple to add an option in the iPod settings menu to show only audio podcasts in the podcasts menu. Yes, smart playlists could be set up (and I tried it for a while) but then you loose the blue dot that reminds me of which episode I am on so I wasn't happy with that approach. Here's the link to Apple Feedback:

    Both CM and P6 needs to be configured using there respective admin utility to interact. Most important part is generation of Encryption key. It should be same for both. Once that is done, restart CM server and P6 server and you should see the link enabled :)

  • Bandwidth needed for 3-4 minute video podcast?

    Hello, All,
    I'm wondering if anyone could give me an estimate about how much space and bandwidth I should purchase from my server to host video podcasts. I estimate about 3 minute segments, updated weekly.
    Thanks so much for your help, in advance.

    A video file will run roughly 5 Meg per minute or 15 Meg for 3 minutes.
    If you are doing 1 show a week - you will upload about 60 Meg a month.
    If you go with Libsyn.com and their 100 Meg option, it will cost you $5 a month for unlimited downloads.
    Since they archive the files after 30 days - you will not need to take any files down.

    Is the place for you. It is what Ask-A-Ninja, Tiki Bar and many other famous Video Podcasters use.

  • Need help preparing a video podcast for iTunes

    I'm trying prepare a video podcast for submission to the iTunes Music Store.
    I followed the instructions here:
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/tutorials/videopodcasts.html
    The file that QuickTime 7.0.3 creates using the "Export Movie to iPod" option is an .m4v file. If I upload that to my server and blog, Safari and IE don't recognize it (they interpret it as text). Is that a browser issue or a hosting service issue?
    I also notice all the video podcasts I came across on iTunes Music Store are .mov files.
    Should I post my video podcast as .mov instead of .m4v file format?
    Any tips/help much appreciated.

    At the bottom of that page, it says:
    * By following the steps in this tutorial, QuickTime 7 Pro will automatically create an .m4v file containing H.264 video and AAC audio.
    iPod can play the following video formats:
    H.264 video
    File formats: .m4v, .mp4 and .mov
    Video: Up to 768 Kbps, 320 x 240 pixels, 30 frames per second, Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3
    Audio: AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 KHz, stereo audio
    MPEG-4 video
    File formats: .m4v, .mp4 and .mov
    Video: Up to 2.5 Mbps, 480 x 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile
    Audio: AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 KHz, stereo audio
    So yes, .mov files will work.

  • Creating a video podcast with iMovie?

    Can I create a video podcast through iMovie? I was planning on recording audio and inserting photos to go along, then Share -> iPod. Will that work?
    Thanks!

    I would recommend Podcast Maker. I used it for my audio podcast; I've not done video podcasting but it does say that it handles .mov files.
    Once you have your media files sorted, Podcast Maker will do the rest. You enter the server details, and the descriptions and so on, and the locations on your Mac of the media files; it will then in one go write the feed, and upload it and the files to your server. It writes good clean rss and you shouldn't have any problems. Obviously you will need to study their instructions first, but it's not too complicated.
    (I don't have any association with this firm,)
    If you want an associated web site you will need to construct it yourself, using links to the media files once they've been uploaded.
    If you feel the temptation to get involved with FeedBurner or similar services I would advise resisting it: they work most of the time but if there is a problem (and I've seen a lot come up in this forum) it's almost impossible to sort it out. It's also pretty well impossible to move the feed to a different URL.

  • Need help getting my podcast up

    I have a website (nunu.com) and I have created a video for which I need to create a podcast for.
    I am an idiot and can't figure this process out.
    Here is what I did so far
    (1) uploaded my movie to my server
    http://www.nunu.com/PODCASTS/BRASSICACEAE.mp4
    (2) tried to create a feed.xml file
    - I downloaded a sample .xml file and plugged my info in as best as possible
    - I uploaded this "feed.xml" file to my server
    http://www.nunu.com/PODCASTS/feed.xml
    When I went to verify the xml file with , I got an error.
    I pasted the xml file in case anyone wanted to see it.

    The podcast file doesn't exist. Neither does the video file, at least not in the directories that you give below. Doublecheck your directory names. Is PODCASTS really all uppercase? Generally, you should use all lowercase for paths and filenames, it makes it simpler all around.
    Your itunes:image is actually in the PODCASTS directory, not the PODCAST directory. Make the image size smaller!!! 1200 x 1200 is enormous. The image is 640K. You need to keep the image size down to no larger than 300 pixels wide and tall.

  • Download and playback of video podcasts and vodcasts

    Hi Folks,
    I have looked at the Classic features manual, looking for info on downloading *video podcasts* and Vodcasts into itunes, and playing them in ipod Classic. I couldn't get from the manual what I needed to understand the video issue . Does anyone have any advice, anything that I should know, or do, before downloading and playing these two types of video? I have read bits here and there about having to chang format of videos for successful download to itunes and playback on Classic. I am not techy enough to understand. (Just as info, I downloaded "Best of YouTube." It promptly locked itunes forever. I couldn't even uninstall itunes and reinstall. I had to create another User on my computer, in order to get itunes again.)
    Questions:
    1) Do I have to do some sort of conversion to download and play *video podcasts* and Vodcasts?
    2) Are *video podcasts* different from Vodcasts? Or are they the same format--just named differently? Is there anything that I need to do differently in the download process and playback of these two types of video? (FYI--The Bill Moyers show on PBS is where I was confronted with the *Vodcast.
    Thank you
    Randy

    you don't need additional tools to load the podcast or video podcast to your ipod, excepting an ipod manager like itunes, floola or juice.
    Just provide the feed into the ipod manager that you use and you are done. Probably the simplest option is to go with itunes. You need an internet connection though.

    EDIT: Well, Juice is not really an ipod manager, but a podcast manager/receiver

  • Editing incorrect video Podcast Metadata / Tag

    Anyone have a solution for correcting a Podcast's hidden metadata tags so iTunes will properly identify a Podcast instead of filing it as a Movie?
    Besides Lostify and vID_Infiltr8, which do not have the Podcast stik tag, or at least I couldn't find it anywhere.
    I have nine TEDTalks video Podcasts that iTunes files as Movies. There are a total of 64 TEDTalks video Podcasts available, but iTMS only offers 55 of them. I downloaded 14 directly from TEDTalks and iTunes recognized 5 of them correctly, it is the remaining 9 that need metadata added or corrected so that iTunes will properly identify them as Podcasts instead of Movies.
    I know this should probably be in the Producing Podcasts thread, but this sort of question is sort of beneath that level of technicality, know what I mean?

    OK. This is yet another reason why I get frustrated with Apple at times. They INSIST on doing things FOR me without telling me when they do it or why (iTunes gapless playback scan for example).
    On that note, IMO it's a bit arrogant of Apple to add proprietary and non-editable tags to the ID3 standard. You can change the Video Type in iTunes, but unless you use some cumbersome 3rd party utility or the import/export method mentioned in other posts, there is NO way to change the podcast flag.
    Unfortunately, the iPod itself uses the same tag/database structure as iTunes, so if you use Anapod (as I do) to transfer files, you have no control over how videos and podcasts show up on the pod (Red Chair Software has yet to respond to my inquiries about adding this ability).
    Edit the video type in iTunes? Sure. Problem is, it seems Anapod's database structure differs slightly from iTunes... If you mount an Anapod-managed iPod in iTunes, when you unmount and try to play files on the iPod itself, only the ones that were played in iTunes will play!!! All other tracks will get skipped over until you rebuild the database in Anapod.
    Now, my wife has my old iPod photo with all my music on it, and she likes iTunes. When she opened the iPod in iTunes, about 1/4 of the tracks were labeled as podcasts (some with explicit content...lol). Of course when she later tried to play music on the iPod itself, everything would skip and I had to rebuild the database (as mentioned above). Now she uses Winamp with no trouble.
    So... Does anyone know of a GUI (not command-line) based method of editing these "hidden" tags?
    Sorry for ranting but thanks for listening.

  • Video podcast only playing audio on iPod

    Hi,
    In the past (iTunes 11.4) I was able to download a video podcast from a website and link it to iTunes by adding it to the library. It would automatically show up in home videos so I would right-click the file, get info, and then change the media kind to podcast. It would then join the rest of the episodes in podcasts. Then when I synced my iPod it would copy the file to the podcasts app and I could watch the video.
    Now using iTunes 12.0.1.26 when I repeat those steps the podcast joins the rest of the episodes in the podcasts section in iTunes and plays as a video in iTunes, but when viewing the podcasts in episode list view the video icon is missing (although strangely it appears in the standard podcast view). And when I sync the podcast to my iPod and I play it through the podcasts app it plays as an audio only podcast. When I check the file system at /var/mobile/Media/iTunes_Control/Music/Fxx the video file is there and can be played as a video using the default video app, so there must be something iTunes is doing to tell the iPod to play it as audio only.
    I have noticed in iTunes that when I get info of the previously added podcast episodes that it shows video properties whereas the newly added episodes do not and if I select new and old episodes at the same time and try to Get Info a message pops up saying "Your selection contains more than one kind of media." Whereas if I only select the new episodes or only select the old episodes, it doesn't pop up.
    Also in Get Info, under options, the new episode show an option for equalizer (although it is greyed out and cannot be change), whereas the older episodes do not. And under Sorting, the new episodes have an option to sort podcast whereas the old episodes do not.
    *(Old episodes refers to episodes added in iTunes 11.4, new episodes refers to episodes added in iTunes 12.0.1.26)
    Thank you.

    Hello, I just had success getting things to work once with podcasts then tried it with iTunesU after I could not repeat it with podcasts. I had the same problem, What I ended doing with iTunesU I'm sure you can apply to podcasts it appears to be an iTunes 12 issue not an iOS issues but affects iOS devices 6,7,8. I just got lucky with solution. I am quite vague on what I did, so in coming days ( had enough today) I'm going to attempt it again and write an exact procedure. but while its fresh in my mind this is what I think I did with iTunesU to get same functionality as podcasts. Firstly talk about what we use to do, as you would do in the past I i used get info then changed it to podcast, as we know that won't work and files play as audio only. So I got my (the ones that wouldn't work on iPad but did on the mac) podcasts in iTunes and selected all (contents of podcast) then get info, i then changed them on mass to home video again( it protests but you continue). I then went to normal library ( can't recall what its called these days) created an empty playlist folder, then from my standard library i dragged all videos into it. I then selected all get info changed to iTunes U (i tried podcast i did succeed once but could not repeat) also changed institution and and instructor ( i think they must be in to work????)( I would say as it relates to podcasts you follow a similar procedure, my gut tells me its not working due to missing fields, we must work out which need filling in)
    From there plugged in iPad clicked devices tab, strangely then left the actual collection in question unchecked, however below that box is another that says include items from playlist, i checked mine that i created earlier , playlist will only appear there if you went through the painful approach at start ( i.e. in get info you made the whole playlist is of type ' iTunes U' , I assume will be a similar case with podcasts). I then synced. didn't think it worked, then closed app on device and opened it and perfect there it was and it played video and then played next after etc
    I am sure i have unnecessary steps but it was guess work. once I've refined it ill post technique. I'm certain it all hinges on making other fields right other than podcasts and them all being changed to the same at the same time. was weird that include from playlist worked rather than collections. that is probably key too.
    Hope this is helpful, just a disclaimer i included to much info because the answer is in there.

  • Video Podcast Audio Issue

    Alright, last night I downloaded the "In Rainbows" video podcasts to my computer. I first tried dragging them onto my Classic 80GB but they weren't iPod compatible. So I highlighted each one of them, and converted them for my iPod. After a good hour they were finished and I dragged them to my iPod.
    Here's the problem. When I watched them later that night on my iPod, the audio didn't work and cut in and out. The video seemed fine but the audio was basically a mess. So this morning I checked my converted podcasts in my video section only to find that they were in the same shape as the ones on my iPod. I tried re-converting them and I got the same results. I tried other podcasts and haven't gotten the same problem...someone please help me!

    There have been several issues with the "In Rainbows" video podcasts. Originally (first week of December, 2007), they were released as (thumbs_down versions), which were huge files and had transfer errors (iTunes would eventually stop downloading after hours of hanging time...). I submitted feedback to iTunes which forwarded it to Radiohead. Since then, the files download perfectly, however the only podcast that is ipod ready is the "In Rainbows" Promo episode. The podcasts need to be MP4 or M4V files. Since Radiohead's revision to their podcast files in mid-December, the files are all MOV files, which will play great within iTunes but need to be converted to play on ipods. Kind of ruins the idea of a video podcast when it can't sync with ipods without some kind of funny business...
    The transfer should work fine, but I wouldn't doubt if there are issues with the latest podcast files posted online (by the band or whoever handles this sort of thing). One suggestion is to search for SCOTCH MIST: A FILM WITH RADIOHEAD IN IT. This is the final video (52 minutes) by Radiohead that combines all of the released podcast files and includes other video. It is on youtube as of midnight, Jan. 1. Radiohead released this final video project in celebration for the New Year.
    Enjoy.

  • Video Podcast Playback Issue

    I am having trouble with downloaded podcasts showing "This movie format is not supported" when I try to play the successfully downloaded video podcast on my iPhone 3G. These movies are .mov QuickTime files, but they will not play in the iPhone's iPod. I am running software version 2.2 on my iPhone. Is this a bug or does the iPhone's iPod not recognize Apple's own movie codec?

  • How do you sort video in itunes

    in itunes you have the video section then you have 4 subsections Movies,Music Videos, Podcasts, and Tv Shows.
    How do you sort the different video in itunes from all vidoes to those subsections

    ben7072 - I just found this on the discussions board: "Under View Options in the View menu, check the box that says Artist. Then rearrange your shows by Artist instead of Show."
    It does work. Obviously, the Artist needs to be the same a Show for it to truly fix our problem here... this is the case for me.
    I'd still like to know what the real problem is though...
