Podcast not playing in browser

Hello,
It seems I am not alone in this predicament.
Specs:
Server 10.7.2/XeonQuad2.8/8Gig RAM
My podcasts will show up in the podcast wiki list, but when clicked on, will not display video. Both Mac or PC, using Chrome. Firefox, Safari or IE9. On the Windows side it will display a QuickTime logo in the play window, on a Mac the play window is gray, waited for 5 minutes but doesn't load.
Interestingly enough the podcasts will play on the server itself, Firefox only not Safari, someone explain that one?...
I have successfully deployed a workflow (PodCast Composer) which is supposed to:
write to a folder
publish to the library
publish to a wiki
So far it does nothing but add it to the wiki.
I have used Podcast Capture and PodCast Publisher to publish podcasts. My user is the admin user and I have tried a non-admin user as well.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

I am having the same issue. Podcasts are veiwable in the Podcasts section of the Wiki by the selected group in server.app (Anyone, Authorized Users, Podcast Owners) however they will only play via the browser if the "Anyone" group is selected in server.app. Even the Administrator account cannot access the play the contant in a web browser when anything other than the "Anyone" group is selected in server.app.
Another correlation I have noticed with this issue is that the rss feed will become disabled (exclimation point next to the heading) when access in server.app is set to anything other than "Anyone".
Frustrating as we would like to open the service up to be accessible remotely without the use of VPN but with sensitive content in our podcasts we cannot currently limit access to authorized users or groups.
Is this a misconfiguration problem or a bug? I know of many instituations and companies that depend heavily on the Podcast features of OS X server and this seems like a substantial problam.
Configuration:
Homgeneous environment with 10.7.4 Server with 10.7.4 clients
DNS and Open DIrectory hosted on the same hardware as the podcast server.

Podcast Audio Files Not Playing In Browser

I have a music podcast on my site, built by iWeb8. On my last podcast addition I published to folder and opened the site from the folder on my machine. Everything was fine except the browser would not play the MP3 files (VBR) of the podcast. I can open and play these files with quicktime but it does not work when viewing via the browser.
These files also play in iWeb.
Any ideas or suggestions?

I think that everybody but Apple agrees that QuickTime is not the best way to play audio files on the internet.
The statistics show that over 90% of surfers have flash.
If you're having problems with Firefox, what chance have you got with IE?
iWeb '08 coverts your MP3 files to .MOV.
'09 seems to have addressed this issue.
I stopped using QT about a year ago. This simple flash player is easy to implement and has the advantage of buffering....

Podcast Will Not Play in Browser After Uploaded Through Fetch

I'm using iWeb '08 to create my website and I have a Podcast section on this site. However, I cannot get my Podcast to play on the website after it is uploaded using Fetch. The Podcast works fine when integrated in the website and viewing it through iWeb. However, when I am actually online, it appears as a Quicktime logo with a question mark on it.
Here is the process I am going through:
1) Create Podcast in Garageband '08
2) Share with iWeb '08
3) Save and Publish to a Folder
4) Upload all website folders to the web using Fetch (the most recent version)
So far, I have also tried sharing the Podcast with iTunes and then placing it on the iWeb page as a mp4 file. I've also tried placing it as a .mov file and a .mp3 file with no avail.
How can I get this thing to play on the internet? Any advice you all may have would be greatly appreciated!

Surely the server wouldn't block these file extensions, too.
Would not hurt to ask them what all they do block.
Any other suggestions?
You'll need to provide your url so people can see what is happening.

Swf file not playing in browser

I have a problem with a swf file which will not play in web browser.
It played fine until I updated my site. I therefore suspected a pathing issue within dreamweaver and looked thorugh that forum for an answer.
I tried typing the absolute path to the swf file in the browser address bar and found it straight away. When I clicked on it the screen stayed blank.
I checked the path to the file and the flv file was relative to the document and not the site.
swf plays fine in flash player, flash, and locally on dreamweaver.
I moved the swf up the file tree and changed the links accordingly but still would not play.
I also tried saving it as a new swf from flash, but that doesn't play either.
I added another swf to the containing folder and that played fine in the browser.
When I open the fla file in flash it only shows a flv playback movie, not the elements, I think this is because it was created in after effects.
Here is the link to the containing folder, the swf file is Home_page_movie_V2.swf
http://www.joinerycadsolutions.com/Flash/01 Home
I have other swf files playing fine and this swf played ok originally so I still think it's a pathing problem but I am not that savvy on flash and cannot figure it out.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, just bear in mind my low level of ability.
Thanks
Stuart

The .swf is loading just fine... but it is expecting to load a .flv video file.
The path inside the .swf to the .flv file is not correct. The path inside the .swf to the .flv file needs to be relative to the .swf as it's located on the Web page, NOT the physical location of the .swf.
Here is the absolute address of the .flv:
http://www.joinerycadsolutions.com/Flash/01%20Home/Home%20V1.flv
Here is a test player using that address:
http://www.cidigitalmedia.com/tutorials/flash/cidm_simple_vid_player.html
So unless your .swf is broken, it just a pathing issue.
From an old post:
Pathing issues
Almost always when it works on the local machine and not the server, it's a pathing problem.
You can put your Flash related files in whatever folders you want, they do NOT have to be in the root, they do NOT all have to be in the same folder. But if you have a problem and if sticking them all in the root folder works, then you know that the issue was a pathing problem.
Just remember that paths used in the .swf become relative to the Web page on which the .swf is placed, NOT it’s physical location. So for example, if your .swf is in the flash/data folder and you use that .swf on a Web page in the root folder, you are in effect, removing that .swf from flash/data and putting it in root. So if the .swf is loading any related files (xml, images, video, etc), the path used inside the .swf to load the .xml file has to be relative to it's new location in root and then back down into flash/data. This is true even though when testing the .swf by itself, it can be inside flash/data and work just fine, since relative to it's location, the path is just fine, they are in the same folder. But if that same path is used when the .swf is placed on a page two folder levels up, the relative path has changed, the old "same folder" path will not work.
In fact if you are placing the .swf on a web page in a different folder than the .swf is stored in, and that .swf calls external assets, then direct clicking and opening of the .swf in it’s folder should NOT work! That’s because the paths to the external assets should be relative to the Web page and not the physical location of the .swf.
So just be sure that you use addresses relative to the final Web page locations (not physical file locations) and you can put the Flash related files in what ever folders you want.

Podcasts not playing after iOS8.2 update

I bought my iPhone 6 in December and have been using it happily to play podcasts in the car using a USB cable. All this changed after the iOS 8.2 software update. My car claimed there was no media connected when I plugged my phone in. If I tried playing a podcast on my phone and then plugging in the cable, it would play for a couple of seconds then cut out. There seemed to be definitely something wrong with the phone, as my friend's iPhone 6 could play podcasts in my car without issue, and my phone couldn't play in his car, when his phone could.
I reloaded the software, reset everything and even went to an Apple Store where they were very nice, but stumped as to my problem.
It turns out that with the software update, the car will not recognise there is any media on the phone if there is nothing downloaded into the iTunes app. This is why my friend's phone worked in my car -- he listens to iTunes in the car, I don't. So I had to download a song into iTunes in order to get the podcasts to play. I bought a ZZTop track in the hope that it will be at the bottom of any alphabetical list. I just have to be careful not to download my music library onto my phone or it will clutter up my phone. Music I listen to while working on my iMac, my phone I use to listen to podcasts while driving. In fact, the deciding factor for me buying an iPhone in the first place was my desire to listen to podcasts in the car, so this was a serious issue when it failed.
So this is not a question, just a posting to let anyone who is having this problem know what the solution is. There is obviously a bug in the software update which interferes with the Podcasts app (I am listening to Radio 4 podcasts, nothing obscure). So until this bug is fixed, it looks like I will have to keep that ZZTop track on my phone.

I should that this problem also exists with the Audible app for playing audio books. You can't listen to an audio book unless you have something also downloaded in the iTunes app.

.flv not playing in browser

Hi Everyone-
I'm facing an enormous conundrum and I was hoping somebody here may be able to shed some light on it.
I have a flash presentation that presents .flv files to the user. I have the main menu in a .swf file, and when the user selects one of the segments to watch, it calls up another .swf to display inside with an .flv embedded in it. This is so we only have to program one little popup menu and it frames all the videos. The presentation is going to be burned to a disc so a user will be able to watch it locally without having to be connected to the internet. Initially, I would just publish a Flash projector file and be done with it, but the disc kicks up the AutoPlay program on a PC, and the client has indicated that this simply will not do; it has to run right out of the box without the user doing anything. I offered what I figured would be a benign solution; embed the .swf into an html file and have it launch in the browser upon insertion.
Here is where it gets sticky: The whole presentation works just fine ... until I try watching it in a browser on a PC. The .flv file simply will not play. At all. The file works fine if I open the containing .swf, and the menu .swf, locally or deployed to a server. I've tried re-embedding and re-publishing on a Mac and a PC, I've tried fixing the Javascript call in the HTML file, I've checked my video codecs (on2 VP6) I've put all the files on the root of the disc, I've put all the files in a sub-folder of the disc, I've checked, double-checked and double-dog-checked all of my pathnames, tested it in every browser on every computer I can get my hands on... but still no dice.
The bizarre part is that all of the similar projects we've done are not working as well, so I can't check how the previous ones were set up for any kind of comparison. I'm sorry if this a long-winded post, but after hours of research and publishing and moving, I'm not any closer to a solution. I'm really hoping someone can help me out here.
Thanks in advance!
-Park

The video does not have a skin on it. It just loads, plays and ends. I have an ActionScript listener attached so that when the video ends, it goes back to the main menu.
I hope it will be helpful to add in some info that I left out of the first post. I don't know how handy it will be, but here we go:
The presentation is coded in AS2. It was built before AS3 came out, and since all the projects we've done have been very similar, it's easier (and cheaper) to just swap out some files and graphics than fixing what ain't broken.
I'm using Flash CS3 on a Mac running 10.6.6, but I've also tried publishing it on a PC with Windows XP in CS3 as well.
The only place the .flv files don't work is in a web browser on a PC, regardless of whether it's embedded in an .html file or if opened by the browser. If I view the .swf files in Flash Viewer, the .flvs load right up, and they work when I view them directly in an .flv player as well.

Why do some podcasts not play on my touch?

I download podcasts with Itunes. When I sync to my 1st Gen Ipod Touch most play fine, but some will not play on the touch. I get a message that there are some podcasts that will not play on my touch. They are all downloaded with Itunes and in the MP4 format. There are other shows in the same "sieres" that play just fine. But some episodes don't sync. They play OK in Itunes. How do I get them to sync to my touch?

Hi AC,
Thanks for that.
I have Apple TV 1 & only use Handbrake.
An example of 2 problem videos:
High Society
MPEG_4 (Base Media / Version 2): 1.09GiB
1 Video stream: AVC
1 Audio stream: AAC
Encoded date: UTC
Tagged Date: UTC
Writing Application: Handbrake 0.9.5 2011010300
Video 1290kps, 720*416 (16:9), at 25 fps, AVC ([email protected]) (CABAC / 4 Ref Frames)
The Marine
MPEG_4 (Base Media / Version 2): 1.53GiB
1 Video stream: AVC
1 Audio stream: AAC
Encoded date: UTC 2011-11-29

Video 2222kps, 1280*688 (1:860), at 23.976 fps, AVC ([email protected]) (CABAC / 4 Ref Frames)
To a layman like me, these specs look similair to specs of my non-problem videos.
e.g.
The Pawnbroker
MPEG_4 (Base Media / Version 2): 764 MiB
1 Video stream: AVC
1 Audio stream: AAC
Encoded date: UTC

Video Podcasts not playing on remote speakers

I'm unable to get the audio from my video podcasts to play on my remote speakers. Instead they play only through my laptop speakers even when the airtunes speakers are selected. Audio podcasts and music mp3's work fine.
tested on iBook G3 & Powerbook G4 with iTunes 7.6 on 10.4.11
mac/airport card > airport express > speaker system.

That would be a feature, not a bug. The audio track from videos isn't supported through airport express. As I understand it, this is because there is a slight lag and you'd end up with unsychronized audio. However, I think the latest version of Rogue Amoeba's Airfoil may be able to do what you want. I haven't tried it so I don't know how good the results are.

Edge animation not playing in browser?

I created a portfolio slideshow in Edge Animate, it plays beautiful inside of Animate but it will not play in any browser, I'm not sure why.
Any ideas why?

What do you need to know about how it is set up?
I'm on a Mac, I've used Safari, Firefox, Chrome and Opera.. doesn't play on any.

Podcasts not available for browsing

When in iTunes I try to browse podcasts in the International - Dutch section (I live in the Netherlands) I get a message "Your request could not be completed. The item you've requested is not currently available in the Dutch store." Huh?
All other 16 listed languages are accessible (except Japanese, where I get the same message), so there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with my setup, and all my software is up to date.
I asked Apple support team three times, but they don't seem to understand the problem.

It just means that it's not available at the moment.
I've found a workaround.
Choose Belgium as iTMS country (you don't have to Sign In) and browse to the same place again.
All the Dutch podcasts are available now.
I tried subscribing to one of them (Radio 538: Evers Staat Op) and it was succesful.
Probeer dat eens en laat weten of het gelukt is.

Video portion of podcasts not playing only audio

I recently purchased an Apple tv and have not had issues until recently. Whenever I either stream or download a video podcast through the device only the audio portion plays. I have tried through itunes on both my pc ans iphone and they work just fine there. I have searched the forums and am not seeing any resulutions for this particular issue. Any help would be appreciated.

no sorry but they are coming from Apple through itunes
apple don't produce the podcasts though.
it is up the person making the podcast what format it is produced in.
appletv has a small set of supported formats, so it is not uncommon for podcasts to be not compatible. this has nothing to do with apple. just because they play in itunes or iphone does not mean they will work on appletv.
anyone can submit a podcast to the itunes store.

Mono not playing from browser

After updating to 10.2 when I play a dual mono clip from the browser window its not coming out in the speakers. I guess it is something MIDI setup og something because it peaks on the internal fcpx audio meter. But the meter is only showing one channel (M) - and when I put it in the project line where there is a two channel audio out it plays in the speakers. What is it I need to change so I can hear the audio from the browser window?
Kind regards
Henrik

I too am having this problem. Did not have this issue in previous versions of FCPX.
I'm monitoring thru a MOTU896mk3, and browser audio is being sent to another output (in this case Analog 1) rather than the Main Left/Right. Dragging the clip onto the timeline sends the audio out the correct outputs so I can hear it. There doesn't seem to be a dialog window anywhere to correct this so I'm assuming this is a bug.
This is a MAJOR pain in the butt - I edit music concerts shot with independent (not timecode locked) cameras and being able to hear the audio in the browser is a huge requirement.
Hopefully this is dealt with quickly as I'm sure that I'm not the only one who finds it to work with this issue.

Video Not playing after browser upgrade, FF 3.6.28 to 10-4-Fox v. 24.2 - W/ G4 PCI "Yikes" - Tiger 10.4.11 ??

I just did the switch to 10-4-fox v.24.2 on my G4 "Yikes" 500mhz w/ tiger10.4.11 ..... I did the Utube Flash hack to play videos in FF 3.6.28 and it worked ok, considering slow CPU speed. .... Now since upgrade of browser I'm getting a message that I must install the latest flash player. .... Does this mean I need to do the hack again ?? .... to get the newest version of 10-4-fox to play vidoes ?? ..... I thought the Mozilla start page said something about not needing flash player to run videos in this most recent version of 10-4-fox ? .... I am going to go back and read it again, but I thought I should post my question here if someone has dealt with this and knows the answer for sure.
             Thanks to all, and BDAqua as well (I was going to call you, but it's not even 7 am yet !)
                                                                            Wayne146

Yes, I installed TFF 24 and found that there was no way I could get Flash to work, and some sites need it absolutely, and inside the browser. Despite the TFF development team's take that you should download everything and play it outside of TFF with separate software, and those things you can't you just need to forget about, it is a major drawback to the new version. Fortunately I still had 17 on the computer and restored that. However, be warned, a bunch of my other add-ons were updated when I ran 24 and the developers of those no longer had the old versions available. I had to resort to my backup drive and grab some things out of there to get 17 back to where it was. It reminds me of a certain major computer manufacturer when it comes to the cussedness of downgrading and bullying ahead on specific policy lines.
It would be nice if there was some way one can have two versions installed in one user area.   17 for everyday use and 24 for when 17 becomes so out of date you start encountering sites that need 24.

Quicktime files not playing in browser

Please help...
I have now started publishing my website to my domain name instead of mobile me and the quicktime movies embedded on the pages no longer play. Instead there is just a quicktime symbol with a question mark. Why and how can I fix it?
Get the same message whether I download my site through safari or IE.
My website is www.danavideoproductions.co.uk if looking helps.
Sample page has links to 4 other pages, each with a clip that I dragged and dropped onto my iweb pages before publishing with Classic FTP.
Many thanks for the help.

I couldn't view any videos on the sample page using the latest versions of Safari and Firefox. One of the photos, I think it was the I'll be there for you picture, I did get a Youtube screen with the message "We're sorry, this video is no longer available" on both browsers.
I do have the latest Flash Player. Could be a coding problem you are having. I do not know anything about setting up a web page. Just thought I'd let you know what I saw when viewing your site.
