Podcast not showing up on ATV search

The podcast I publish is available (format wise) for iphone, mac/win and ATV.
If I search for the podcast in iTunes it shows up and play.
If I use AppleTV and search for the podcast there it doesn't appear in the search results.
How can I fix that?

I'm afraid the Apple TV is outside my experience: see if this page helps:

and you could try asking in the Apple TV forum.

Podcast not showing up in itunes search after 1 week

i submitted my podcast with one episode and it was accepted on 17 july. i am able to get to it in the itunes store by using the url as provided in the email.
iTunes Store Welcome
Dear Podcast Owner
Your podcast, located at [ http://feeds.feedburner.com/meterdown ], has been approved. You should expect to see it in iTunes within the next few hours. When it's available, you will be able to access it with the URL below.
http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=260194221
i have put an icon with that url in my blog (meterdown.wordpress.com) and that works fine. people are taken to the podcast in the itunes store and can subscribe.
however when i search the store, my podcast is not turning up either by podcast name (meter down) or by author/artist name (kabi) or by keyword (taxi, bombay, hindi).
I can ping using the podcast ID (id=nnn) and it returns the podcast feed url (http://feeds.feedburner.com/meterdown) and the podcast ID.
it doesn't list an episode however. is it supposed to?
my main question is "why am i not showing up in the search?"
is there something wrong in my xml? I host at switchpod and run it thru feedburner and I use the feedburner feed.
i have read and read the forums here, feedburner, podcast alley and also am emailing switchpod support. still can't figure it out.
thanks

ssukotto,
Thanks for the information. What you mention is boilerplate that is automatically sent when a new podcast is approved. I also quoted it like scripture before diving deeper into researching this issue.
The research into this problem suggests that there is a minimum number of podcasts in order to be included in the search index (or at least the search results) whether it's undocumented or unintentional.
Case in point, Meter Down posted his first complaint that his podcast hadn't shown up in the search even after a week (far outside the 24-48 hours you mention and that is documented)..that was a week ago. A total of at least two weeks that his podcast could not be found by searching by the exact title. His podcast showed up search within a day after adding his second episode (yesterday).
Jerry Pine posted July 17 that his podcast "Everything Algae" had been approved July 13 but couldn't be found by searching...even by name. July 28th, he added a second episode as a test...and his podcast became searchable.
There are several others who went for days or weeks without being listed in search results by even searching for their exact podcast title...common trait between all of them was that they only had one episode. They added a second episode and within the day they show up in search results.
There are others that had newly submitted podcasts whose podcasts showed up within the 24-48 hours timeframe...but they had at least two episodes.
I'm just providing the facts...could be coincidence that they just happened to be searchable just after posting a second episode.
I'd invite you to read through and share with the iTunes podcast developers the several thread from various people who have reported problems with having a searchable podcasts and draw your own conclusions.

I have just downloaded a free app and there is no icon and it will not open from the list even tho it appears to have downloaded and the "open" button is available. Does not show up when I search for it. Plenty of memory . . .

I Have an iPad mini running iOS 7.1.2, I downloaded a new app and it's icon does not appear anywhere ( have ~ 180 apps so not at limit) and it won't open from the purchased apps list. It does not show up when I search for it so can't open t that way either. It doesn't require iOS 8. Can't delete and reinstall, cause not icon. This is not a normal "app won't open" question. it doesn't start the. Stop it just doesn't seem to exist. Any help is appreciated

Business catalyst site is not showing up on web searches

I built my site in Muse and published directly from Muse onto Adobe Business Catalyst. It has been a couple of months and this site is not showing up on web searches. I believe it has something to do with my Business Catalyst settings. Frustration has set in and I'm turning to this commuity to seek direction. The site is edgeadvertising.ca
Should I be looking at Googles webmaster tools?

Hi edgydoug1,
You have a challenging case since "Edge Advertising" appears to be a common business name with many other established websites for "Edge Advertising" or "Cutting Edge Advertising" businesses around the world.
First, I'm going to contradict Gaurav. I may be interpreting what I see on Google incorrectly, but it looks to me as though Google has indexed your site. It's a one page site. Correct?
A few things you'll want to do to improve the chances searchers will find your site:
1) Set the Page Title for your page in the Page Properties dialog. I recommend setting it to your business name. You might consider including Winnepeg in the page title, since that will increase the odds that someone looking for "Edge Advertising" in your area will find you, rather than the Edge Advertising in Washington, D.C., Tampa Bay, Fairport, NY, Houston Texas, etc.
2) You might consider putting your contact information where your copyright currently is.
3) Enter keywords for your page in the Page Properties dialog Metadata panel. Be sure to include Winnepeg and Manitoba (spelled out), along with your business name and the services you provide.
4) Pay special attention to where you apply h1, h2, h3 tags via paragraph styles. You should probably make the main "Edge Advertising" title the h1 for the page.
There are two primary factors to SEO, indexing and page ranking.
Indexing is about making sure your pages have content that corresponds to what your prospective customer will be searching for. This generally means choosing ~3 search phrases and doing what you can to be sure those phrases and the words in those phrases are used in your site. Your site has quite a bit of live text content, so you're probably doing well but you'll want to think about search phrases and see how well they correspond to words and phrases in your content.
With a single page site you're limited to a single page title and no filename for the HTML file (since it will be index.html), so you'll want to make sure the page title is good and you make good use of h1, h2, h3 tags. You may also want to add alt tags to your images (if you haven't already). And keywords in your metadata.
Page ranking is largely about the number of other sources (websites, twitter, facebook, blogs, etc.) that contain links into your site. If lots of other sites are referring to your site, your page ranking will be higher relative to other sites with similar page content.
Again, given the business name is not unique and many of the other businesses with the same name are likely to offer the same services, it's going to be difficult to differentiate your site to web searchers. You'll want to make sure the geographic location of your business is prominent along with the principals and anything else that may be unique to your business (that also known to web surfers).
Finally, when you make a change to your site, if you submit your sitemap.xml file to Google using Webmaster Tools it theoretically will encourage Google to re-index your site sooner, though there's no guarantees how long it will take.

Copy of Application does not show " My accounts" in search show

Hi
I am using CRM 4.0
I have copied the application CRMM_ACCOUNTS through blueprint application builder using save as
The new application does not show "My accounts" in search show
It is just showing "My favorites"
Can somebody please tell me the reason for it or how to bring "My accounts" in search show
TIA
Asad

May be while copying the application "My Accounts" is not copied.
But you can create one by saving the Query.
Seelct "My Account" in the Find DDLB while in adv search and save the query as "My accounts".
It will be added to the SHOW DDLB.

New Podcast Not Showing Up In Searches

I received approval for a new video podcast form the iTunes store about two weeks ago, but the show still does not show up on searches in the itunes store.
The link to the podcast works fine, but it doesn't seem to exist when searched. Anyone have any insight? Any clues how to resolve?
This is the email I received:
Dear Podcast Owner
Your podcast, located at [ http://feeds.feedburner.com/DrBrown ], has been approved. You should expect to see it in iTunes within the next few hours. When it's available, you will be able to access it with the URL below.
http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=264538009
If you have questions or wish to make changes to your feed, please consult the technical spec at http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/techspecs.html. The spec contains detailed information about key topics like adding "cover art", changing your feed URL, and adding other helpful iTunes-specific tags to your podcast.
There is also an Apple Discussions Forum exlcusively for podcast producers, located here: http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1107. If you have a question or a problem that the technical spec cannot answer, the community of iTunes podcasters may be able to provide valuable guidance.

I'm gonna have to go with "epontius' postulate of unfound podcasts" on this one, my friend. (Look at the last post in the linked thread.) You are but one further confirmation of the hypothesis.
What this means to you is: it is becoming more evident that podcasts with only one episode are not searchable in the iTMS . . . and you only have one podcast in your feed. Update your feed, put up another 'cast, and I bet that your podcast will become searchable a few days afterward.

Podcasts not showing up from search

Hi, I logged in today on iTunes and noticed that our podcasts are no longer showing up on iTunes Store. I tried doing a search on 'fowler' and 'fowlerinc' and couldn't find anything. I checked the XML file and didn't find any errors, so I was wondering what I need to do to get our podcast to show again.
Thanks.

The podcast is not available in the iTunes Store. FeedValidator says the feed is valid but comments 'Feeds should not be served with the "application/octet-stream" media type' - a remark I can't comment on. They have an explanatory page:
http://www.feedvalidator.org/docs/warning/UnexpectedContentType.html
The feed downloads OK and looks to be OK, but possibly there is something going on on your server which is choking iTunes. I can only suggest contacting iTunes Support:

Created Podcast Not showing up in Itunes Store...

Hi Gang...I was wondering does anyone know y my created podcasts are not showing up in the itunes store...my rss feed has been validated and i am able myself to subscribe to it...but when i do a search it does not come up and doesnt show....also how can i find out if ppl have downloaded and listened to my show...my rss feed is jason1977.libsyn.com/rss

When I first created my podcast, I noticed quite a bit of lag between the time my feed got accepted and the time when it would be found when i did a search on iTunes... I think it was like 2 days before a search on my name or the name of my podcast would bring up my feed.
Give it a little while to all come together.

Video podcasts not showing in podcast menu

my video podcasts are not showing up on ipod touch when I sync. They are on the ipod, cause when I search, they show up under podcast header (so they are not mis-labelled as music or anything), but they do not show up in the podcast menu. This applies to all my video podcasts. I think its a bug.

Wow, that does work. There they all are but I think this is annoying, that I have to go to a seperate app to see my video podcasts, as apposed to aduio podcasts, in the podcast menu, but at least I can see them. Thanks!

Podcasts not showing up as podcasts

My podcasts do not show up under Podcasts on my Ipod. They only show up for a brief time under Playlists/Recently Added. They also do not show up if I use the search function on my Ipod. How do I get podcasts to show up as podcasts? Also, I have already marked all as new.

I don't know if this will help, but I was experiencing the same problem. Searching the discussions didn't help other than to confirm that I was not alone. So, I started poking around.
Background
5th gen video iPod. on a Macbook Pro. iTunes 7.3.2. iPod 1.2.1
I had been manually copying podcasts to iPod. Noticed this weekend new podcasts weren't showing up under podcasts, some did show up under music, and videos weren't showing up at all.
My Solution:
selected iPod device. Selected Podcasts. Selected sync. (wasn't syncing before). choose a couple podcasts to sync. Clicked apply. podcasts synced. wiped out all my existing podcasts but the new ones showed up. Still no videos though. Chose Movies. chose sync. Got message something like "The iPod "<my iPod>" is synced with another iTunes Library. Do you want to erase this iPod and sync with this iTunes library." I chose no (cancel), because I didn't want to wipe everything out without thinking about it.
Now Podcasts and videos show up on the iPod.
Hope this helps.

Podcast not showing up, neither is image Please Help!

Hello,
I'm sorry to start another thread when there are so many already with these problems but anything you could do to help me would be great.I have a music podcast called Rock Block
http://rockblock.wordpress.com/
http://feeds.feedburner.com/RockBlockPodcast
I submitted my podcast to iTunes and it got put in the store. I am finally able to search for my podcast and get it to come up but whenever I try any kind of link i get a message saying "The item you have requested is not available in the US store"
This is the link they gave me in the e-mail,
http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?
id=260388815
I have also tried this: http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=http://feeds.fe edburner.com/RockBlockPodcast
This: http://www.itunes.com/podcast?id=http://www.feeds.feedburner.com/RockBlockPodcas t
and even this : itpc://feeds.feedburner.com/RockBlockPodcast
But nothing works!
It's been almost a week now and my image is also not showing up in the store either.
Please help! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

1 22fps sounds odd, perhaps a typo
2 anything over 24 fps is not officially supported at that resolution
3 is your source movie PAL/NTSC/24fps (29.97/25/24 fps) ? It's best not to convert as it can introduce stuttering between different frame rates
4 Even if other parameters are ok, I'm not clear of the bitrate here which should be no more than 5000kbps for h264
5 There was something in the iMovie 08 forum a while back when everyone was annoyed at the dumbing down when videos were looking soft and it was something to do with a deinterlacing flag not being set correctly on exports so only 1 field in a frame was showing making video look soft
6 You are best setting all parameters for output manually as you are largely doing. Winston often recommends using 960x540 at whatever frame rate is needed for HD output as he feels there is little difference in quality
7 Try converting short 20-30 sec clips only until you hit on a formula that works
8 Don't give up - you'll get there, frustrating as it seems

Video Podcast not showing up or refreshing

Hello, We like to view the NBC news Podcast every evening. We saved it as a favourite but when we select the Podcast in favorites, very often it still show yesterdays cast while we know it there. The workaround is to update podcasts on the computer, then synch the ATV and go to My Podcasts instead of favorites and it will be there (while still not showing up in the favorites... While not life-threatening, could someone explain if and how I might remedy this....
Many thanks.
P.S. Some times the cast is there but mostly not... so it works, sometimes.

It seems as though others are having this problem as well, since some upgrade or something was done?
Would be nice if Apple would confirm this and let us know where they stand, ie. they're aware and working on it, they're aware and waiting for the next major release, etc...
I don't mind having problems, but I don't like it when so many people are having a problem and the manufacturer seemingly ignores them

Movie rentals that I downloaded onto iMac with Lion to do not show up on ATV 2 in menu for computers. Purchased movies show up just fine. What to do or look for?

I have an imac that is running lion and an Apple TV generation 2. I have rented a movie from itunes and it shows up on my imac in Itunes under a rental icon, and will play fine on my computer. However, it does not show up as choice to play on my apple tv. I have homesharing enabled and everything else works fine including purchased movies that are on my imac, but no where does it show rental movies.
What do I look for? What do I do to play the rental movie on my apple tv 2?

Answer to my own question:
Wait until the downloaded rental has completed its download to the imac. This took a long time for me, since it was part of several things that I was downloading at the same time.
Finally, it showed up on my apple tv. Interestingly, I was able to watch much of the movie on my iMac before the movie finished its download and was available to the ATV 2.

Extended Podcasts not showing all images

I just noticed that the extended podcasts that I have, which include a number of images, only show the first image during the playing of the podcast. On the iPhone or iPod Touch, the same podcasts will sequence through the added images as necessary.
Has anyone else seen this? Is there a preference that needs to be changed? Some other fix?
Thanks,
Dave

I'm seeing the same thing with enhanced podcasts on my iPad. Initially I thought it might just be the enhanced podcasts I created some time ago, but I've since downloaded an enhanced podcast from early last week. Seeing the same problem in a more recent enhanced podcast.
Chapters are working fine, but the images are not changing. Both enhanced podcasts work fine on the most recent iTunes.
On perhaps a related note I am seeing other image issues in the iPod app on iPad (album art not showing up correctly, random album images showing up).
