Podcast feed keywords and itunes search results

my feed is http://jimlockwoodshow.libsyn.com/rss I have a list of 12 keywords in the feed. One keyword is Limbaugh. but, my podcast doesn’t come up as any of the results when searching under Limbaugh. none of my keywords work.

Hi Jim,
Per Rogers comments above - when I checked your account there were no keywords entered for the Show (Channel) Level and Episode (Item) Level keywords.
To enter in the Keywords for the show level - when you log into your libsyn account - click on the gears icon next to your artwork in the upper left. Then enter your keywords / tags and click save.
For Keywords for your episodes - you will need to go click Edit for each episode in the episode list and one episode at a time add in the keywords.
If you put yourself into the "Advanced" editing mode - and then go to "Description" you will see the place for editing the keywords near the lower right. Click on "Tags / Keyword" and enter you keywords in the box below and then click on Publish when you are done.
Please note it may take up to a week for the changes to be reflected in search results in iTunes. And even then search results are sorted based on the all time number of subscribers your show has in iTunes.
So to better place yourself in the search results you need to increase the number of subscribers you have via iTunes.
Good Luck,
Rob Walch

Can you filter iTunes search results by video or audio podcasts?

I have been searching for hours and haven't found a definite answer. Anyone know if this is possible?
Can you filter iTunes search results by video or audio podcasts?

I'm having the same problem. I go to Podcasts/Video Podcasts/News and they only give the featured, favorites (whose?), etc. I want to see all video news podcasts but if I then click on see all, it drops the video classification and shows all news podcasts. The iTunes search in general leaves a lot to be desired; its not very intuitive or pleasant to use, not the usual Apple experience.

Podcast No Longer Showing Up on iTunes Search Results

We submitted our podcast months ago and it showed up on the iTunes store just fine. Somewhere along the way, someone on our end introduced a code error in the .xml file that broke the links to the audio files. We didn't find this issue out for quite a while, and in that time, it appears that iTunes flagged and took down our podcast feed from the store (I'm assuming because of this code error).
I have since remedied the code issues and I can subscribe directly to the feed now, so it is working fine. But I cannot get the store to show the podcast in any search results. When I try to resubmit the feed the store says it is already submitted - even if I change the url and the .xml file name, so it is clearly smarter than I am, haha.
Any tips on how to get out of this problem? It has been several weeks and the podcast still does not show up on the store.
Thanks,
Bill

Roger,
Thanks for the reply - in the time it took me to hit submit and tab back to my .xml file I saw that I'd missed changing the link/title. Thank you for confirming that this will do it - it let me resubmit. Take care!

How can I transfer a podcast feeds from one itunes account to another?

For a couple of years we have been using a third party company to edit and submit our podcast feeds to itunes. They have been doing this using their own itunes account. After changing things round a little, I have now created an itunes account for our company and want to transfer the current live feeds from the other guys account to my new account but I have no idea how to do this. Although the guy is very good, I don't reckon he is that technical so I thought I may be able to get some assistance here.
Any takers?
Thanks

It's not currently possible to transfer an account's balance from one account to another account, nor to use it to gift items to another account. Also any content that was bought/downloaded via your account will remain tied to your account, so your account will need to be authorised on the computer that he will be syncing to, and only your account will be able to re-download that content and/or download updates to those apps.

No iTunes search results

Hi, and help! I've got iTunes 11.1.1 on my MacBook Air, and for some reason the search function is being wonky. If I type, say, "dave mason" or "burning spear" or "manu chao" in the search box and hit enter, I get a blank page - well, not completely blank; it has the headings "Songs," "Podcast Episodes," etc., but nothing underneath them (and no "Albums" heading, either). I know from previous visits that the store does have music by these artists, but for some reason it's not showing up now. (When I search "duke ellington," I get a few entries under "Podcast Episodes," but no music.) Any ideas? Many thanks!

Hi,
You do not need to hit enter! Go to search box and uncheck search entire library, you can also restrict search to song, artist album or composer.

Issue in disabling button and retaining search results of query bean

Hi,
I need help in 2 issues
1) I have a query bean and an advanced table attached to it. I have enabled table actions and put a button inside that. The requirement is the button should be enabled only if a record is present in the advanced table. If for a search parameter, no results are displayed in the advanced table, the button should remain disabled. The moment the results are populated in advanced table the button should be enabled. Please let me know how this can be achieved.
2) In the advanced table there is a column of type Link. On clicking this link i am forwarding the control to some other OAF page AA. I am retaining AM here. From this new OAF page AA user can move to some other OAF pages B or C. All these pages have different AM. There is a link called return to original page on page AA which takes user back to the search screen. When user goes to page AA and comes back to search screen without going to page B or C the search results are displayed on the page, but when user goes from page AA to page B or C and finally returns to the search screen, the data in search results along with search criteria are lost. The search screen is completely blank.
I need to display the search results/search criteria no matter what navigation user is doing. Is there a way i can save the search query that got executed on the click of search button. I can re-execute the query when user comes back on search screen.
Please let me know how to achieve these 2 functionalities.
Thanks,
VG

For (1)
I guess you want to select single/multiple rows after the table is populated in table and perform an action using button.
If that is the case then do not put button under table actions. Instead put it under multiselection region. Then button only gets displayed when rows are populated.
If that is not the case then get a handle to button (use findChildRecursive, findIndexedChildRecursive may not work) and disable/enable it.
For (2).. If you are on r12 below can be useful :- (taken from 12.1 framework guide)
Using Search Persistence
In the past, if a user performed a search and then drilled down to a details page, search criteria was lost when
the user navigated back to the Search page, unless the developer retained the AM or created a custom
implementation to persist the search criteria. As of Release 12, developers no longer need a custom
implementation to persist search criteria, as the query region now has an automatic search persistence
mechanism in place.
Generally speaking, you should still retain the AM in favor of using the automatic search persistence
mechanism for performance optimization reasons. However, if retaining the AM presents a scalability issue
because the underlying view object (VO) had hundreds of attributes, then you should you turn off retainAM and
allow the query region to automatically handle all the search criteria binding and use the automatic search
persistence mechanism.
Note: If you retain the AM state, the automatic search persistence mechanism will not be active. The search
persistence mechanism is automatic only if the AM state is not retained.
When a user selects the Go button to initiate a search on the query region, the OAQueryBean automatically
caches the search criteria on the user session. After the user drills down to the detail page of the Search
results and then returns to the Search page, the OAQueryBean restores the search criteria from the cache and
re-executes the query using that saved critieria.
Note: Since the query is re-executed, any sort, navigation or transient UI state of the results table will not be
preserved. Saving the entire table state presents high overhead which is what this particular feature is trying to
avoid.

Endeca SearchAdjustments cartridge and Dimension Search Results cartridge

Hi
In Endeca Discover demo, if search word is 'codac'
SearchAdjustments adjusts 'codac' to 'codec' (it doesn't adjusts to 'Kodac' )
Dimension Search Results find 'Kodac' dimension.
Can anyone explain each logic ? Where can I configure these behavior ?
Regards

You can find out details on the logic and configuration options in Chapter Five of the Advanced Developer's Guide here: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E48636_01/Mdex.6412/pdf/AdvDevGuide.pdf .

Flickr pages and Google search result pages are smaller

When I go to a Flickr page or a Google search result page, the entire page is smaller. Content is the same, but the fonts and images are smaller.

To start with, try pressing holding down Ctrl and then pressing 0 ( Zero). That will reset your zoom if you have zoomed out.

How to synchronise the play status of podcasts between iphone and itunes?

Hi there, thank you for reading,
I am annoyed now for a few months about the disfunctional synchronizing between my iphone and itunes when it's about the play status of podcasts.
I get new podcasts in every new day and i play many, so it's essential to see immediately which are new and which i have listened to or have half-listened.
This functionality was there when podcasts were still played in the Music app on the iphone, but now it's moved to a podcast app, it doesn't. Weird.
I run the most recent software and the hardware is fine. If you have any to get around the daily manual synchronisation, please let me know.

Hi Jim - thanks so much for your detailed & helpful reply. I actually do already have those columns shown in my playlist views - my problem is that I don't believe what they are showing!
For instance, out of my c.13k tracks, my smart playlists count:
Matched - 42
Ineligable - 46
Purchased - 15
Not Matched - 121
Uploaded - 27
Error - 13,060
When I first started using Match it spent several days uploading tracks, and now is having another incremental go, and showing 325 of 1464 Uploaded.
Ah - that's interesting - I just looked at my 'iCloud Matched' playlist on my iPhone, and it says there are 11,876 tracks in it, even though iTuns on my MacBookpro shows 42! But then my iPhone also shows 11,876 in the 'iCloud Error' list. And in my 'Ineligble' list. And my 'Purchased' list...so who knows! Which was the thinking behind my original query.
But I do appreciate your reply Jim, which has been helpful even with the above situation.
Cheers,
Mark

ITunes 8 and Accessing Podcast Feeds in the iTunes Store

When I upgraded to iTunes 8 on my new MacBook Pro, I had several podcasts to show the dreaded exclamation mark, with missing episodes. However, when I click on the arrow in the list in iTunes, I'm taken to the actual Website of the podcast instead of the listing in the iTunes store where I could select the episodes I am missing. How do I change this "preference" in iTunes 8 to get it to go to the iTunes Store instead of each individual podcast's Website?

Apple give you the instructions here:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/specs.html#removing
It would be a good idea to take down the feed you don't want. It won't remove the Store page but it will prevent subscriptions and also give Apple more incentive to remove the podcast.

Submit of Podcast feed not working: "Bad http result 404"

I am trying to submit my .xml file to the "Submit
Podcasts to the iTunes Directory" and it keep sgiving me the error:
We had difficulty reading this feed. Bad http result code: 404"
Can anyone tell me what the error is? It does nothing to explain this. I've tried using an xml template for itunes that supposed to work but nothing. It works fine using iPodder.
Here's the link:
http://cmi.yale.edu/podcasts/rss/test5.xml
Thanks much for the help!

Right, I know how the 404 mean error not found but i checked and double checked the URLs and they all seem fine to me as well. I can understand what iTunes is not liking about the feed. I've updated the feed with a new .xml:
http://cmi.yale.edu/podcasts/rss/cmi.xml - still getting the 404. Do you see anything wrong with the URLs?
Thanks much!

UltraSearch Results and normal Search Results

Hello,
i have the following problem:
We crawl documents with the UltraSearch Crawler. For every document exist's a data-set (product name, firm etc.) this data-set is stored in an other table.
If i search for the text in documents i need the data-set for every referenced document to show the complete data (doc url, product name, firm etc.) in a table.
Currently i take the results from UltraSearch, insert them in a temporary table. Then i JOIN the two tables and get the final result. This solution has a performance problem ;-) It need the db operations: select, insert and select.
Did anybody here know a better (faster) solution?
Thanks i advance
Klaus

You need to be a bit more specific about your requirement and your environment. What kind of functionality does your search need? Are you using enterprise search or FAST?
1) Your sites should already include default search boxes at the top right corner. If you need a search web part, you will need to create a web part page and add the search box or advanced search box (need a search center for advanced) onto the web
part page. If you need to change the default search box layout on all pages, you can do that by editing the master pages.
2) Are you asking for a specific query to be included in every search? You can can add a default appendded query using the search box web part properties. If you want to just have certain keywords show up at the top, you
can set up Keyword Best Bets. For the filtering, you will need to use scopes. You can set the scope rules to include/exclude specific sites, folders, content sources or property queries. If you're using FAST, you will need to set the scopes
up in the FAST Query app, not the FAST content app.
You can create keyword best bets, scopes and change the search settings for the site collection by going to Root Site Settings > Site Collection Administration > Search Settings. Hope this helps. Again, we need more info to provide a more specific
solution.

Podcasting with iweb and itunes.

Trying to get set up to podcast some of our programs and not having any luck.
We have an iweb site and when we are prompted to type in the feed URL , would that be our iweb sites URL? it comes back with cant read and invalid.
What are we doing wrong?

What is prompting you for the "feed URL"? Can you be more specific?
I recommend reviewing this document for general Podcast information as related to iTunes:

Itunes Search Results are wrong

I'm on latest Itunes update. When I search for an artist, I can click on the artist, but the songs Itunes displays are actually for other artists. Anyone else experiencing this or may know what I can do to fix?

in that case, i would turn off all music syncing and sync the phone. this will delete all of your existing content. next, turn syncing back on and resync. does it still happen?

Problems syncing podcasts between iPhone and iTunes

Hi
I have just upgraded from an iPhone 3gs to an iPhone 4s. However I am now experiencing problems sycing podcasts through iTunes. When I have played a podcast on the iPhone and then sync it still shows as unplayed on iTunes. The played podcasts also remain on the iPhone after the sync even though I have set it to only sync unplayed podcasts.
Appreciate any advice - this has only started happening since getting the iPhone 4s (it worked perfectly on the 3gs).
Thanks in advance

Bump.
Anyone provide any insight into this?
Thanks and I look forward to your reply.
