Problems submitting a podcast

Hi all,
I have been trying to submit my podcast to the iTunes store now for two months. I am able to submit it using my rss feed: http://dalydose.podomatic.com/rss2.xml
But when I try to validate my feed I get this error:
This feed does not validate. line 38, column 6: Undefined item element: itunes:order
Any idea what I need to do to get this fixed?
Thanks in advance for your help!

There is no problem with your feed. I assume you've been using FeedValidator - this flags 'itunes:order' as invalid because it's a recently added tag and it's not caught up with it. The feed can be subscribed to in iTunes where it works OK.
However, it will be rejected if submitted to the iTunes Store because your media files (or at least the one I checked, the top one) are set to force a download. If you enter the URL in a browser such as Safari it should play within the browser. Instead it downloads to your download destination. This won't work in the Store, where the file is streamed. You need to set Podomatic not to force a download in the case of each file.

  • Problem submitting my podcast

    I am SO frustrated!!! ugh.
    I am having trouble posting my podcast.
    I'm going to http://www.apple.com/itunes/store/podcaststechspecs.html then clicking on 'submit a podcast'
    I then enter my feed. the button that says 'continue' doesn't work when I put my mouse over it. But if I hit the enter key, it does take me to the next screen.
    first problem: itunes is not picking up the most recent changes I made to my description
    BIGGER PROBLEM: when I try to submit the podcast even though the description is wrong, nothing happens. The 'submit' button doesn't work nor does the enter key, absolutely nothing happens. nothing happens. I have had this problem for weeks.
    AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

    The relevant tag says:
    <itunes:image href="http://brianspod1.podomatic.com/images/pcast240.jpg"/>
    and the image linked to is 240 x 240 px.
    You have a suitably sized image within the 'item' tag but the tag in the top section of the feed is the one that matters.

  • I have a problem submitting a podcast,

    The feed is http://feeds.feedburner.com/SovietUnionRedArmy  Feed validator says it is valid but itunes says cannot download episodes, please can anyone help me? Thanks

    You are submitting the same URL you originally posted? This can be subscribed to manually in iTunes and both episodes show, so I don't know why you are getting this error.
    There are some minor errors in the feed but they shouldn't cause a serious problem. Your episodes have no titles (on subscribing, iTunes is using the filename).
    Your filenames have spaces in them: spaces are not allowed in a URL. The feed is handling this correctly by substituting the code %20 for each space, so it's working OK, but it's bad practice and I would recommend avoiding it.
    I should correct the title issue, give it a day or so, and try again - it might just be a temporary glitch, but as I say I can't see any obvious reason for it.

  • I need help with a problem submitting my podcasts to iTunes

    When I submit my podcast from iWeb to iTunes, iTunes asks for the URL link which is already filled in. When I press the "Continue" button I get the same response over and over again --
    "We experienced a timeout connecting to this feed at this time. Read timed out."
    Anyone have any ideas?!? I validated my feed and created everything in iLife. I can use iTunes to subscribe to my own podcasts at my site at:
    www.vegaswineguys.com

    Intel iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Place the PSU in and connect the 20 pins connector and the 4 pins connector will do.
    You may also try swapping the RAMs with another one to test f the RAM is to be at fault.

  • HELP!! "timed out" submiting video podcast through iweb to itunes

    I am trying to submit a vid podcast through iweb to itunes and am getting a timed out message. Please help. I have read other posts similar to my problem, and have checked to see that all of my fields are filled in. Don't know what the deal is. thanks for the help.

    This is what I received from iTunes help:
    Dear Eric,
    The iTunes team reviews each podcast submission. Depending on demand,
    it may take a week or two before the podcast is published.
    I'm sorry to hear you received an error when you tried to publish a
    podcast to the iTunes Store. If you are re-submitting a podcast for
    review, the iTunes Store may detect the submission as a duplicate and
    generate an error message stating that the feed has already been submitted.
    You can follow these steps to resubmit the podcast:
    1) Change the title and link fields of the RSS feed to something other
    than what they are now.
    2) Resubmit the podcast feed via iTunes.
    3) Once you have successfully submitted the podcast, you can change the
    title and link fields back to what they were.
    There are several less-common reasons iTunes might have displayed this
    error:
    * The podcast's RSS feed was not available.
    * The podcast's RSS feed timed out.
    * The podcast's RSS feed could not be validated.
    If you are the podcaster, make sure your podcast is available on the
    Internet. Your podcast's RSS feed also should conform to the iTunes
    extended podcast RSS specification.

    If you're still having trouble, consider consulting the Apple
    Discussions forums, which have a wealth of information about specific issues.

  • There was an error submitting your podcast

    We have installed Podcast Producer 2 on a demo 10.6.2 server. We are able to use Podcast Capture directly on the server and podcasts are produced and able to be accessed through the Podcast library.
    But when attempting to use Podcast Capture on a 10.5.8 client, after logging in and recording the podcast, when publishing we get the following message from Podcast Capture:
    "There was an error submitting your podcast"
    Some things I have noticed from the Server Logs:
    Apache Error Log:
    [Wed Feb 17 09:14:29 2010] [warn] RSA server certificate CommonName (CN) `demomaster.nobl.k12.in.us' does NOT match server name!?

    Our servername is demomaster.nobl.k12.in.us, but our local hostname is demomaster.local. Would this be a problem? changeip -checkhostname shows "success"

    The 401 Unauthorized also shows up even when we use podcast capture directly on the server. But the podcast still works then. So I'm not sure this is really an issue.
    I have a feeling this is some sort of permissions issue, but I have tried changing the permissions on the /var/pcast and /var/pcast/server folder
    http://www.sysarchitects.com/node/92
    And I have turned off digest authentication in cluster_preference.plist as well with no success.

    Any other ideas? We really need to get this working. Thanks for any help.

    I keep finding a little more information...
    The plist file of the podcast that was to be uploaded looks like this:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

    How do I change my server so that it uses the FQDN "demomaster.nobl.k12.in.us" everywhere instead of sometimes using the local hostname demomaster.local.
    It appears this is a DNS issue. We have set the hostname using scutil and running changeip -checkhostname shows
    Current HostName = demomaster.nobl.k12.in.us
    DNS HostName = demomaster.nobl.k12.in.us
    The names match. There is nothing to change.
    dirserv:success = "success"
    nslookup on the ip shows that the reverse is working and pointing to the FQDN.
    Computer Name in Server admin is set to: demomaster.nobl.k12.in.us
    Local Hostname is set to: demomaster
    but under the podcast Producer overview screen in Server Admin our Podcast Library and Capture URL both show http://demomaster.local:port instead of the FQDN.
    How do we change this?
    Thanks again.

  • Timeout error when submitting feedburner podcast feed to itunes

    This is my first time submitting my podcast to itunes, I have created the feed with feedburner and I can manually subscribe and download the podcast in itunes however when i try to submit the feed I recieve the generic timout error, see below. I have tried for several days with different machines to no avail. Any suggestions?
    Feed Address: http://feeds.feedburner.com/ThePortcast
    Thanks in advance.

    The feed appears to be OK; sometimes individual servers can behave oddly with the Store but as yours is a Feedburner feed there shouldn't be any problem, so there is no obvious reason why this is happening.
    You could try the allternative submission URL:
    https://buy.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/publishPodcast
    If that doesn't work one possibility is that there is a problem at the Store end, which does happen though it doesn't usually go on for several days. You could try emailing support at podcasts 'at' apple.com but I have to say that you likely won't get a helpful answer. Otherwise I can only suggest giving it a day or two and trying again.

  • Submitting Your Podcast to iTunes

    I need to break my question into steps, otherwise it will get confusing. If there is anyone that can advise me on my next steps that would be great!
    1. I submitted my Podcast and realized I submitted the incorrect feed URL.
    2. I than removed my Podcast from iTunes.
    3. While submitting the new feed URL I didn’t receive any prompt, so I thought I should submit the URL again.
    4. I received this message reading, “it appears your feed has already been submitted.”
    5. The first URL has no connection with the second (new) URL so I am wondering why I received this message. (it appears your feed has already been submitted)
    Can anyone help!
    HP 1740   Windows 2000  

    I can't see any reason why there should be a problem. The only thing about your feed is that there is no 'itunes:duration' tag containing the duration of each episode in the format hh:mm:ss so that the Store can't know what the duration of the podcast is - however this shouldn't cause a problem about submissions.
    Occasionally the submissions process falls over and give incorrect rejections, so possibly that's the problem. You could try leaving it for a day or so and trying again.

  • Re-submitting my podcast feed after it has been deleted dosen't work?

    Hi
    I had recently submitted a podcast feed for my company. However I made a mistake in asking to have it deleted so I could make some changes.
    Now having completely revised my understanding of how the feed works, I have now re-submitted my feed:
    http://www.shogunaudio.co.uk/podcast.xml
    When the podcast was up before it ran fine, and was very popular. My feed is valid, I can subscribe using the 'advanced - subscribe to podcast' in iTunes. But for some reason it won't register. I have re-submitted the same feed 3 times and I don't get a 'duplicate feed' warning, it just says that it is submitted and I will be getting an email, but nothing happens.
    I desperately want to get this up and running asap, what is wrong here?
    Thanks

    I can't really say what is going on, but I don't think submitting from another account or changing the IP number will have any effect. Normally in this situation you should change the title slightly, and also rename the feed - as I suggested, you could call it podcast1.xml (so that the URL changes) - these are the parameters affecting it. The only other possibility I can think of is that you have managed to introduce some problem into the feed which is causing it not to be accepted (though if you can subscribe from the 'Advanced' menu this seems unlikely).
    Would you like to post the URL of the revised feed?

  • Submitted my podcast (The Maggy Thump Show) to itunes a month ago, haven't heard from them. Is this typical? Any info/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    Hello! I submitted my podcast (The Maggy Thump Show) to Itunes about a month ago, I
    haven't received any correspondence yet. Is this typical? Please help! Any information,
    suggestions would be really helpful. Thanks

    Hey braswell4AU: I have a similar issue. I purchased 2 iPhone 5's the first day they came out. Black 64gb for myself and white 32gb for my wife. She is having somewhat the same issues as you have. Wifi is weak and keeps dropping the signal, and also her phone almost never has LTE. And we are in a very strong Verizon LTE area in north Los Angeles county. My phone has never had any signal issues, wifi or LTE. I have been researching the issue to no avail. I though maybe the white with the brushed alluminum may cause signal issues, but haven't found anything on that and posts about the black one haven't problems blew that theory up.
        I have also changed the SIM card and the phone itself and still the same problem. I saw a post about someone getting their phone swapped out and the apple rep told him not to restore the phone, but to just set it up as new. I have yet to try it, gonna try this weekend.. But it makes sense! I, like you have 6 apple devices (2 iPhone 5's, 2 iPhone 4's apple tv3, and the ipad3) and have no issues running all my devices via router.
         So I am thinking about the history of the restores and backups and my wife is the only one that went from the 4 to the 5.. Every other device was setup as new. So my theory is that he iphone 5 has issues when you restore from previous backups.. Maybe something a little different from the backups of the previous models create issues in the iPhone 5's?
         Like I said, I'm going to give it a shot this weekend and see what happens. If you get a chance to try this before, please let me know if it works and if I try before you I will update you.
        Good luck and hopefully we can get these wonderful phones working like they should!

  • When submitting my podcast it says feed has no episodes?

    I have submitted several podcasts and this is the first time I ran into a problem, perhaps things have changed in the past 9 months or so?  I have one podcast as of right now and plan a weekly update
    Here is the link
    http://feeds.feedburner.com/PrimalLowCarbPodcast
    Maybe my formatting *****?  Just not sure where to begin or what software to use to generate the xml file anymore - thanks for any help - it is truly appreciated

    Your episode has no playable media - iTunes does not display episodes with no playable media. Your episode needs an 'enclosure' tag containing the URL of an mp3, m4a, m4v, mp4  or mov file. Your has links to web pages containing links to mp3 files but this won't do you any good.
    This page contains basic information about making a podcast, including a sample feed so you can see what one should look like:

  • How long after submitting a podcast does it show in iTunes?

    I submitted a podcast last Thursday, its Tuesday now and it is still not on iTunes. How long does it usually take?

    Several days is normal, plus yesterday's holiday will slow it up a bit as well.
    Is the author tag in your feed file contain a valid e-mail address? Apple will respond only to that address if it finds a problem in the feed file. Check the spam holding area too if the account has one.

  • Here's My Problem With the Podcasts App

    So, here's my problem with the Podcasts app on my iPhone 5 - it relies too heavily on streaming and not enough on downloading and syncing. For most of my 8 hrs at work each day I am out of contact with my wireless carrier. And the hospitals IT dept has chosen to block whatever port the Podcasts app uses to stream content. So nothing over Wi-Fi either.
    As a result, all podcasts must being fully downloaded and ready to listen to prior to leaving for work. Unfortunately, even after fiddling with various settings in the app, I can't seem to get content to stick in the app. There are plenty of Unplayed episodes, but when I'm ready to listen, they're not really there and must be re-downloaded or streamed.
    Here's what I am going to try:
    • iTunes will continue do all of the downloading and syncing of podcasts to my iPhone
    • In each Podcast on the iPhone I have Subscribe "ON" and Auto-Download "OFF"
    I'm going to try this setup for a few days and see if it resolves my issue. Would appreciate any other observations and suggestions you might have. Cheers!

    Simple really:
    Delete the Podcasts app from your iPhone.
    Restart your iPhone.
    Continue managing your podcasts from iTunes, like you did under iOS 5.
    After restarting your phone, Podcasts will play via the Music app on your phone again.

  • Submitting a podcast from taiwan

    Frustrating!
    I have an account. I am in Taiwan. My credit card is from Taiwan. Because apple only sells iphone apps in Taiwan, i am unable to access the US store unless i change my location to the US. Then i can get podcasts. When i try to submit MY podcast, it says i cannot purchase anything because i live in Taiwan. Of course, i am SUBMITTING a podcast feed, not purchasing anything! There must be some way to work around this, or does apple have a policy of censoring content from non-approved nations?

  • Trouble submitting my podcast

    Hi community,
    I get an unspecific error message, when submitting my podcast: http://www.startuprad.io/feed/
    I am not sure what is wrong and why iTunes won't accept it. Please advice!
    Best
    Joe

    This is not a podcast feed. It has no 'enclosure' tags containing the URLs of your media files, as required by iTunes. and lacks the 'iTunes declaration' in the second line. There is a reference to an mp3 file in you 'content: encoded' tags but iTunes does not read these; there is also a reference to a .swf file which iTunes does not play.
    You have constructed your feed in WordPress. I can't advise on the details of WordPress but I suspect you will need either to use the PodPress plugin or route your feed through Feedburner and add the media files there. The former would be preferable as Feedburner has its own issues (and there are rumours of its impending discontinuation).
