PodCast Producer - adding character to names on folder copy

PodCast Producer -the greatest capture/render/post product in the World! But when I add to my workflow the function to copy to another folder, PCP adds "+" characters where there where once spaces in the name. Can anyone give me a magic sudo command or something to fix this? Ideas or help are greatly appreciated.
Thx.
Geaux Apple!

If you have it set to copy your music to the iTunes folder, then it will do the same for videos.

Podcast Producer with SSLed Web Service

So, I'd like to configure the Web service in OS X to only use SSL. Are there any modifications that I will need to make to my Podcast Producer configuration? Currently, I do have Podcast Producer configured and working, but when I enable SSL in the Web Service, I am no longer able to submit new podcasts successfully from Podcast Capture. It does say that it was submitted successfully, but no email is sent and no new podcast appears in the blog. What extra settings will I need to make

Bonjour Phillippe, Ça va?
Ok, crash course in the fun of PcP.
The XML that PcP generates is based on .plist files that accompany each podcast item. On your server navigate to:
HD > Library > PodcastProducer > Shared > Content
In this folder you will find date stamped/named folders, each of these contains all the published podcasts for that date. Within you will find folders with very long names ending in '.prb', each of these is a podcast. Within each is a folder 'Contents > Resources > Metadata'. Inside 'Metadata' you will find 'properties.plist' and 'User_metadata-….plist'. These are the two files that PcP uses to generate the XML for the RSS feeds. You can edit these (remember to make sure you have permissions on the file and the containing folder) and change some of the metadata. You will need to sync the library using Terminal to see any changes in the XML though.
Editing these files is particularly useful if you need to change the author of the podcast.
The downside of this is it doesn't allow you to set all the XML elements required by iTunes U, and in particular the Public Site Manager; which is where Feeder comes in.
I've just downloaded all my feeds into Feeder and have started adding additional metadata. I'm then using SFTP to publish the feeds back to the normal webserver (not PcP) on my XServe as static files for import into iTunes U.
Once I have all my feeds re-imported into iTunes U, I'll then be able to make the move to Public Site Manager.
I know this is not the easiest or most user friendly of processes, I hope it will only be a stop-gap solution until OS X 10.7; but until then I know of no better way to do the job.
I hope this helps.

Is there a way to create a iTunes U feed using .pdf or .epub files using a Podcast Producer 2 backend?

I'm in the process of creating an iTunes U site for my university. We are in the process of activating an Xserve running Snow Leopard and Podcast Producer 2 to server as a backend and trying to figure out how to create various workflows and feeds for populating both the Public SIte Manager "public site" and the authenticated "private site". So far, I have not found any information regrading how to upload .pdfs or .epub documents using Podcast Composer or Podcast Capture. Is this possible?

It depends where you extract the file to. If you extract it to your home directory so you can examine it's content, there's no problem -- it's just a static file. If you're extracting it over the existing file (in this case /etc/fstab), then you may end up screwing up permissions/ownership.
I've not experimented with redirection enough to know whether the original file's permissions are preserved.
maybe a chmod fix if needed?
So I am having a problem because it keeps saying fstab might be a file and when I query I do not see the package /file. So help me understand by this similar question.
This works fine.
# pacman -S iw wpa_supplicant
but using query does not find any package that resembles iw wpa_supplicant
# pacman -Q
Nothing in the list resembles the package above. It seems to me I just do not understand repositories (I think that is what these are called).
Is there a good link or article that can clear this up? Also... how can I find out how to query files that contain certain characters in the package name such as lib* or *lib*?

Podcast Producing in a Windows World

I'm running into some major issues at the school I work for trying to get Podcast Producer up and running. I've got an Apple Xserve with 10.5.1 that is a member of a Windows Active Directory Domain (No way for that to change).
My question really applies to pages 23-24 of the Podcast Producer Admin Guide. How can I make this thing work in an environment where Windows controls DNS, Active Directory and everything else?
Has anybody been able to integrate this into a Windows Server environment?

I skipped the entire DNS section but I registered our server with the networking group and they created the DNS entry for me. Worse case, you should be able to use IP's instead of names to communicate with the server.
As far as user accounts, I created them in both AD and on leopard server so that the info would match and everything was working smoothly. I do not know to which the clients were authenticating, I only assume it was leopard server.
Eventually I ran into the problem of ical server being unable to integrate with AD so I spoke with our AD folks and they said as long as I do NOT turn on DHCP and DNS then I can create an OD master and run with it, which is what I'm doing now.

Setting up Podcast Producer errors out

It looks like I am almost done having this setup. My PcP 2 server is setup and forward / reverse DNS are working. I've kerberized the service.
When going through the setup assistant, at the last step, I am getting an error message that states setup of the PcP failed.
My podcast producer startup log returns this:
2009-11-04 18:23:59 -0600 - Checking Open Directory search policy…
2009-11-04 18:23:59 -0600 - Checking host names…

How can I resolve the problem with No Host Name in System configuration. As far as I can tell, everything is setup properly on that box.

I had the same issue too and scutil verified my HostName (not to be confused with what `hostname` returns) was not set:
admin$ scutil --get HostName
HostName: not set
this did the trick for me:
admin$ scutil --set HostName foobar.domain.private

Unable to name created folder on iPhone 6

This is weird, I created a folder and I'm unable to name it.

Ive taken both apps out, dragged them to the home screen, attempted to re-create the folder on the home screen, same thing. I haven't tried through iTunes yet, but it's just odd why you can't name a folder with these apps, I even added urban spoon, same thing.

Installing a new Podcast Producer Server

I have tried a few time to install a podcast producer on a new server. I used the instructions pages 21-30 on the pdf from Apple. They really seem very unclear. i have tried many things to get it working.
First it has you install dns, it has you create a primary zone for pcast.private. I am inside my domain. do i need that?
then i do get it set up. i can log into the wiki. i see my videos. when i go to play them i get the quicktime logo with a ? in it. the problem i think is that it is trying to load the video at http://server.mydomain.org/video.
however i can not get the server to have the default page. when i go to
http:\\server.mydomain.org i can not get there.
i create "a" host for that server in my dns. I can ping the server by that name. Howeve i can not get the web page up in that site name. if i could i am sure i can get the podcast to work.
Are there better instructions out there for setting this up?
thanks,

Since it's a component of OS X Server, there's a much richer discussion forum for it here:

Lion podcast producer can't publish to Lion apple wiki

Hi,Buddies, We're using Podcast Producer on Lion to publish podcast to Lion wiki, use lion podcast composer to define publish to lion wiki/blog server and deploy workflow to PCP server successfully, When we used lion podcast capture to send podcast to pcp server, checked in xgrid agent log and it always stopped at following and say 404 not found with http error, also I found url for posting to wiki is still old architecture of snow leopard, the lion wiki or blog url should be like this http://wiki.edu/wiki/projects/test or http://wiki.edu/wiki/people/U0K4j3h/blog, it's odd! Lion PCP,lion composer, lion wiki, but pcp can't publish to lion wiki, Do you guys have any same experience of this issue? Thanks

I thought I would post back with the solution I finally found in case someone else runs across this. I was going crazy!
This link and the comments in reply to the topic show what the problem is. I could not find it in any Apple documentation so I'm very grateful to those who posted at this link, "Mounting a shared file system for Xgrid":
http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20100609114725470
Basically, Xgrid agents don't have permission to access folders pointed to under /Volumes. The solution is to provide the complete network path in your workflow, starting with /Network/Servers/<servername>/<path to folder>.
As long as the Podcast Producer Xgrid user (in my case, "pcastxgrid") has permission to the directory exported and once the full path is in your workflow the agents can publish to the folder. Again, thanks to those who posted to the hints at macworld.

Quicktime Metadata handling in podcast producer batchs

Hi,
I'm wondering if there's a way to extend the amount of metadata that can be handled by the podcast producer batch so that it feets iTunes needs ?
I know that it depends of the workflow you use for the "common" metadatas (artist name, year, type, ) but what about the exotic ones : commentaries, lyrics and even illustration ?
Thanks in advance for your answer.
Nicolas

HAZAAR! Solved it for me, hope it's the same for you. Ensure your Server HOST name is identical to your service name. IT IS CASE SENSITIVE! I had to edit the /Library/PodCastProducer/Shared/Server/memberpreferencesUUID so it matched my hostname identically, and all is now working.
You'll notice you probably have errors in /Library/Logs/pcastserverd/apache_error.log referencing SNI name not matching hostname, this is the clue. Hope this resolves it for you also.

Podcast Producer for lecture capture with Kaltura

I am a relatively new employee at a university and I am helping the school set up a lecture capture system. I've researched several options already and this idea of useing Podcast Producer with an Apple Server we already have and Kaltura to host and manage our media which we already have I'm having trouble finding solid info about.
Background about me: I have a video background, very limited with servers and scripts. I know enough to understand what's what. I'm trying to work with the guy who setup the server too.
Alright, now what I'd like to see happen:
We already have an Apple server and a room with recording hardware (camera, screen capture ability, document camera, etc) already. We use Blackboard for our course management system and Kaltura for our media management. We're pursuing Kaltura's Blackboard building block, but haven't gotten there yet. I know Podcast Producer is capable of sending the recorded podcasts elsewhere, but my knowledge of what is possible with that is very limited. I'd like to see a lecture recorded with the Podcast Producer, then sent to a category on Kaltura or the appropriate course within Blackboard from the Apple server.
I have already asked this on Kaltura's forums and awaiting a response but figured since this also involved an Apple product, it wouldn't hurt to inquire about any knowledge here. And I know a lot of this depends on what Kaltura is capable of as well. Thanks in advance.

Bad form, but I am going to respond to my own question here with a possible solution. I'm doing this for others who may be stuck on the same thing.
It looks like a solution would be to create a Folder Action on the directory that the raw video files will be uploaded to. This would be an AppleScript that will run the podcast (see 'man podcast') command line tool to manually submit the files to the Podcast Server workflow.

Podcast Producer

Trying to set up Podcast Producer, I found the ip address and entered it but for the last few hours I cannot figure out what 'name and password' to put in? Just made the switch from PC to Mac and I am literally going mad. Can anyone help me? I have tried my wifi network name and password and it keeps saying server not accessed or some such thing. It is my home computer so no 'admin'.
Any help truly appreciated! Thank you.

What is podcasting producer is? Can i buy it? or I need a special server? Really I need help

I want to make Podcasting, but really I don't understand when my system say you need a Podcasting Producer and it requires a server name, so my question is do I need to buy a server? What kind of server do i need?? Or what do I need to know to make my owns podcasts?.

The Podcast Producer and Podcast Capture packages were retired a while ago. They're no longer part of the current OS X versions.
Unless you're hosting the podcasts from your own Internet server either for your own local users on your network or hosting them publicly on your own network connection (and that chews up your network bandwidth, as well as requiring you to manage a server), these (or similar) packages are (were) not necessary.
As for creating podcasts, use GarageBand on your OS X system or on an iOS device, then upload the finished podcast to the site you're hosting the podcast at; to Apple or whatever other entity is providing the hosting.
There are some podcast creation how-to links on the left side of the Apple Podcasting web page. There are probably some podcasts and videos on this topic around, too.

Podcast producer problem

Hi i wonder if someone can help me i have a problem with podcast producer in that it seems to work fine until it tries to post something to the group blog. At least that's where it says it fails in xgrid admin. Also it appears that there is no group blog how do i create it?

Xserve Podcast Producer

Hi Everyone
I posted the exact some thread somewhere else and was prompted to post it here. Which I am herewith doing:
I have been trying to setup Podcast Producer on a Xserve (Quad Core Xeon). I encountered numerous problems:
1. Xgrid wont authenticate (Kerberos problem?).
2. Workflows wont deploy to server with other users then the admin (not the diradmin). And sometimes not even the admin itself (random at best).
3. Xserve creates the user that executes all podcast tasks. But for that reason I dont have access to the Podcasts in case I want to back them up and or delete them.
4. When I share my camera with the server, so everybody could use it. The camera is very very slow. 3 sec delay!
+ more
My questions would be:
1. if there is any good step by step documentation (based on actual experience installing it and not apple documentation) on how to make it work.
2. Can anybody who made it work share its experience.
3. Where do i have to/can I save the podcasts so I can back them up or delete them as an admin?
I own both Mac OS X Serve Essentials 10.5 and 10.6 and none of them includes the Podcast Producer, which made me wonder.
It would be super fantastic if anybody had any hint in this direction cause I need to set it up rather soon.
Thanks a lot for your attention
Best
R.

Ricccc,
Deleting media from Library, or workflows from root user...
You will want to look in /Volumes/DATA_LOCATION/PodcastProducer/Content folder wherever it is located. "Depending on the server config.."
If you delete your media and do the "LIB SYNC" command from terminal, Your data is gone...
I find it easier to do this buy logging into the server as root.. Having the LIB page open.. looking for the media, finding the UUID, then deleting it from the content folder.
Here is what works for me...
Example on media location:
/Volumes/DATA_LOCATION/PodcastProducer/Content
To clear content from Lib from command line:
*pcastconfig --sync_library*
Be careful!!!! You have to know what the Media UUID is..
