Podcast Producer and OD

hi,
we have a machine in our high school that has 10.5.6 server on it running as an OD replica of the master OD machine. we'd like to add a second 10.5.6 server to the high school to act as a podcast server.
should i set the podcast server up to also be an OD replica of the master?
thanks.

In most cases, the Podcast Producer server should be your OD Master, and the replicas would reside at your other sites. I've tried binding Podcast Producer servers to another ODM and wasn't successful. I found the other way it truly works is if the PCP server is its own ODM (I believe the kerberos realm has to be created). OD replicas would only provide as a backup if the master goes down, but unless you have PCP services running on both the master and replica (which I DO NOT recommend), it won't matter if you master goes down

  • Podcast Producer and Internet Explorer

    I've configured Podcast Producer on 10.6.8, and it is working fine - items are processed from the Capture software through to PcP2 and Xgrid, and are then uploaded to a Wiki.
    The issue is with clients using Internet Explorer (any version) and their ability to play audio files uploaded from Capture or through the web interface of the wiki. Videos work fine, but whatever code is used to upload just audio files to the wiki cannot be interpreted by IE. I know that 10.6.8 was meant to address some of these issues, but I am just not sure how to proceed.
    Has anyone had a similar experience?
    Cheers

    Not sure if this will fix your problem, but I was having the same problem until I looked at the specs for XGrid, it has to run on an Intel Mac. This is where you can get the specs:

  • Podcast Producer and Xgrid setup - Jobs don't run

    I've successfully setup an xserve here to be part of an OD setup, setup xgrid which is running successfully, and have Podcast Producer up and running and successfully running on the xgrid. However, when i open up podcast producer and go through the workflow process and submit, nothing happens except for temp folders stacking up in the podcast recording directory.
    Only thing I could find was this error in the podcast producer logs:

  • Compressor 4, Podcast Producer 2 and distributed encoding

    Hey there,
    I am quiete new to Podcast Producer and Compressor. I found in the documentation of Podcast Producer that it is possible to create new encoding types for the Podcast Producer export media type. However it did not say when I create such a new export type if the export is automatically send to Compressor when it is performing the encoding inside the Podcast Producer Workflow. As far as I know PP2 normally only supports XGrid. Now I was wondering if I can send the encoding job to Compressor in order to make use of the distributed encoding capability of Compressor withing the PP2 Workflow. Did anybody try that out yet? I would appreciate any comment or hints that could help me.
    Thanks in advance and happy belated new year

    Hi Robert, righto cheers. I did spec in Final Cut Server just in case as i guessed as much. I've used episode before but it used it's own binary to encode the podcasts. Now it uses Compressor instead somehow apparently for rendering under 10.6.. Well we'll see how it goes.
    cheers, Dave

  • Lion Server just for Podcast Producer?

    I know nothing about servers and such, but am starting a video podcast for our small tribal college to teach our language and culture. I have a new iMac and Lion and use Final Cut Pro X.
    Can I install Lion Server just for Podcast Producer and ignore all the other stuff with it? Does PCProducer work well? And does it work well with video?
    Thank you for any and all advice or input.

    Correct.

    Oh...... so if I read this right.... the total cost for setting up a Lion Server is $29 for Lion + $49 for the server tools.... so $88 total....
    I didn't catch on to that prior.....

  • What happened to Podcast Producer?

    When I bought my Macbook Pro this last Tusday, it came with Lion.
    I was able to get the Mountain Lion Upgrade for free from Apple.
    Lio had the Podcast Producer and now that my laptop has Mountain Lion
    I can't find the Podcast Producer. I don't have the time capsule.
    How can I get the podcast producer?

    Apple discontinued 'Podcast Producer" and 'Podcast Capture" with OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion).

  • 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.

  • Setting up the server Mac OS 10.8.3 on a dynamic IP and running Podcast Producer

    Greetings!
    I need to configure MAC OS X Server 10.8.3 with the version of software to work with a dynamic IP via dyn.com / dns / or what is a better way.
    And we must port the Podcast Producer to version 10.8 the fact that it supports both free software server package to version 10.7.5 (this package can be downloaded for free on the site aple.com since the program itself is free).
    And then it all set up, you need it to work.
    The general idea is that on remote computers, iMac, iPhone, iPad made ​​podcasts. Thrown off the server. The server writes the files to your disk and raspiarivaet podcast for download from different sources.
    If you could do it - byloby wonderful. Write, discuss payment.
    Best regards.

  • Compressor and Podcast Producer 2?

    Hi everyone, I have a quick question which I hope someone may be able to answer:
    I'm spec-ing up a Podcast Producer 2 system and wish to utilise Episode Encoder some way down the line. They stipulate it works with Compressor. So, I assume Compressor doesn't come with Server 10.6 and I need to buy Final Cut Server to get it. Is that correct?
    Do I need a copy of Compressor (and therefore a boxed set of Final Cut Server per xgrid(Qmaster) node?
    Does anyone have any experience in a setup like this?
    Any pitfalls I should be aware of?
    Many thanks in advance, Dave Lee

  • When Podcast Producer says it's running but isn't (apache fails to start)

    We've set up a new Intel XServe up with Leopard Server (10.5.6) and are having trouble persuading the Podcast Producer engine from starting.
    First, we've set up all the accounts and settings exactly per Apple's PP documentation. Yes, I'm aware of the need to significantly tweak the defaults and that you don't just click "start" We have a fully functioning OD Master on this machine, plus DNS, Kerberos, XGrid, QTSS and our regular web services (on port 80) via Apache.
    We try to start the Podcast Producer in Server Admin. The dot goes green, indicating that the service is running. However, no one can connect to it using the Podcast Capture application (and yes, users attempting that are clients of the OD Master).
    The logs show what's not happening, but not why:
    The pcastserverd_out.log shows many repetitive instances of:
    Thu Jan 22 16:27:33 +1100 2009 -- Starting pcastserverd apache...
    pcastserverd_error.log shows many repeated instances of:
    Unexpected exception in check: Failed system command: /usr/sbin/httpd -f /usr/share/podcastproducer/apache/httpd.conf -k start (256)
    and, less often:
    Unexpected exception starting mongrel instance: Failed system command: /usr/sbin/httpd -f /usr/share/podcastproducer/apache/httpd.conf -k start (256)
    I have traced this error to the execution of a ruby file:
    /usr/share/podcastproducer/pcastserverd/lib/pcast_server.rb
    where there is a routine that obviously attempts to check "mongrel and apache" for something. Here's the routine:
    def check
    ASLLogger.debug("Checking mongrel and apache...")
    begin
    if (!check_apache)
    start_apache
    end
    if (ServerPreferences.mode == "main")
    @mongrelbase_port.upto(@mongrel_baseport + @num_mongrels - 1) do |portnum|
    start_mongrel(portnum)
    end
    end
    rescue Exception => boom
    ASLLogger.error "Unexpected exception in check: #{boom}"
    end
    end
    Here's the question: how do I further trace this fault to work out what's going on and how to fix it? Why does SA insist the PP engine is running when evidently it isn't? Why won't this instance of Apache launch properly?
    I am assuming that the PP invoked instances of Apache and it's "mongrels" (whatever they are) are using SSL on ports in the 8xxx range, and that these are entirely unrelated to the web services I've already set up for webmail, wikis and blogs elsewhere in SA.
    Your advice is appreciated.

  • 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*?

  • How to get poster art in the RSS feed using Podcast Producer workflow

    With podcast producer there are standard workflow which create atom feeds. I can not figure out how to automatically generate a poster image (or any type of images) associated with the video to show in the rss feed. Anyone got this to work?
    Here is the feed of the test site:
    feed://switch.macsenior.net:8171/podcastproducer/atom_feeds/4C9A6B5A-4D09-4394-A 846-5407C8BF8FBD
    I like to show poster art of an random frame of the movie.

    You actually are publishing images. For example:
    http://switch.macsenior.net:8171/podcastproducer/feed_logos/4C9A6B5A-4D09-4394-A 846-5407C8BF8FBD.png
    http://switch.macsenior.net:8171/podcastproducer/attachments/4C9A6B5A-4D09-4394- A846-5407C8BF8FBD/2EFF4653-5E35-4F9F-B0D1-14C797DAB1C8.png
    You aren't seeing these images because of the way Safari parses feeds. Try using curl from the command line or another browser. Safari and Podcast Producer really don't play well together. A good example is trying to use the SSL port to view feeds.
    If you'd like to change the image to something common for all episodes in a workflow, select Window > Workflow Inspector in Podcast Composer. Be careful with your image dimensions, as it is posted unaltered.

  • 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.

  • Looking for: Promo Movies of Podcast Producer--- slick demo's

    Why can't I find any actual video podcasts of Podcast Producer? Is it too new? Does someone have to capture a capture with another tool? (...like an iShowU capture of how to use Snapz Pro...)
    I want to show a video clip to demo this to my boss. Something to show the aspects of this being a great centralizing database for creating and publishing online video training movies... but she ain't going to get that from a one-page blurb on the Apple site's Leopard Server page.
    Anyone? Links to actual movies about Podcast Producer?

    The OS X 10.7 servers we installed didn't have it and Apple support told us it wasn't included.  But we could migrate it from older 10.6 and 10.5 servers to run it.  But it won't run on 10.8 at all 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.

    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
