Video Podcast RSS

http://www.joshuabartholomew.com/JB/index.html
I have made a Podcast Home page, I've created 14 entries, but when I subscribe to my feed or try to add the podcast to iTunes, there are no episodes. The strange thing is that I can view the videos on each (entry) page. To save myself storage and bandwidth, I'm hosting the videos at blip.tv and have posted them into my entries as web widgets. Could that be the problem? I previously had the Podcast set up in Blogger. You can see how that feed works here: http://www.joshuabartholomew.com/podcast.htm
If you have any idea on how to do this I'd REALLY appreciate it. It's 11:35am here, I've been up all night AND the iWeb Forum keeps going to an error page...

Hello,
It seems that I am running into some trouble, I have
the first Episode of my TV show up on the blog I use,
but whenever I try to publish the RSS feed through
Feedburner, it tells me It has no episodes. Is there
a certain file I need to make the movie, or do I need
to use another RSS program?
Thanks,
Six
Do you have the video embeded into your blog post? Try linking to an external video file as that will work better.

Video podcast with multiple RSS feeds

We have a new video podcast at LetsKnit2gether.com and we have three RSS feeds for our show, each with a different video file format. We’re using WordPress with PodPress to create the RSS and then we manually cut and paste the others. We have two problems:
One – We can’t seem to get the multiple feeds to show up correctly in iTunes (the desktop software, not the music store – we haven’t submitted to the iTunes store yet.) I can paste one RSS URL in the Advanced/Subscribe to Podcast window and subscribe to the feed but I can’t subscribe to any of the other two. When I try they appear for a second and then disappear. Tried in both iTunes 6 and 7 on PC and Mac. I’m guessing there is something in the iTunes software that prevents similar feeds. I read as much on the Apple iTunes tutorial page but our feeds are following the rules as far as I can tell. (www.feedvalidator.org says all is well too.) Once you subscribe to one you can’t change your mind and subscribe to one of the others ever again, ever! ...even if you delete the one you subscribed to first.
There are several video podcasts that I’ve subscribed to via iTunes software that have multiple feeds (GeekBrief, Rocketboom, 88slide, etc.) so I know this can be done, I just have to figure out what’s causing iTunes to choke.
Anybody have any clue what’s going on?
Two – We’re doing cut and paste on the WordPress generated feed to make the multiple xml files. This is going to become a bigger and bigger task as time goes on and we generate more shows. I’d like to just push a button and generate all three feeds from the blog. Is there a plug-in for Wordpress or stand alone software that will do this? I don’t mind paying for software if it saves us time.
Thanks!

Video Podcast Won't Play

Hi all, have a 1st gen 5G iPod 60G
Only until these few days I (re)started to subscribe to some podcasts, including video podcasts like the new NGC World Music, NASA videos, Happy Tree Friends, etc
They all play absolutely fine on iTunes on my mac, but when I try playing them on my iPod, they just play like normal regular podcast, NO video, an "album art" is displayed and I hear the audio, very much like listening to any music.
All the video podcasts seem to be like that; I however can play all the TV shows that I have bought from the store.
So how do I get to watch the video podcast??
Thanks and cheers

Whats the direct link to either the RSS or the video, I'll take a look? iTunes is telling me there is either a problem with the file or the type of file isnt supported.

VIDEO PODCAST WITH iWEB-how to deal with huge file size

Hello folks,
I have created simple website for my video podcast. It all works fine, except one problem. I had used just small video clips for now, just for testing... and it takes long time for website to download. I can't even imagine, how slow it will be, when I have full 15 video episodes within my website. So I am wondering, is there any way of how to maintain that cool iWeb podcast structure (with podcast page, entry page and archive page) but not to embed those videos onto the page, but instead, play it externally? I have tried to just post the link to the video clip, but than "publish to the folder alternative" does not create correct rss.xml feed, because it does not know where those clips are. So it doesn't work in iTunes.
Any suggestions? Thanks for any input or advise.

Hello,
unfortunately, no answer yet. The only solution I can think of, is to create a Blog instead of Podcast, then post hyperlink to your video file on entry page. That way, the actual video is not embeded on that webpage, but it only downloads when someone clicks on it. That way you probably won't be able to use subscribe button and RSS subscribe button, but you can create your own Feed with Feed For All software (http://www.feedforall.com), put it on your domain, then post it's URL on your website. So if someone wants to subscribe to your podcast, he will copy that address and paste it into the iTunes or some other podcast readers.
I am a beginner, so this most likely is not the best solution, however, it works so far.
Good Luck

Video podcast format for iPods

I created a video podcast and the RSS feed was successfully accepted by iTunes.
The first two episodes download through iTunes fine. The only problem is that the video file would not transfer to any video iPod. The first two episodes were 320x240 .mov files.
So, I read some sites and found out that it needed to be a .m4v file. I edit the show in iMovie. After finishing the third episode, I used iMovie to "Share to iPod" which I figured would format the file into a proper format for an iPod.
The 3rd episode is uploaded onto the RSS feed, but iTunes doesn't recognize this and make the file available for download. It still only has the first two episodes for download.
Any suggestions? Do I need to use Quicktime Pro and use that to convert the files?
If it helps, here is a link to the feed in iTunes.

Thanks for the help in advance.

I dont know about doing it the "easy" way with apps that do all the work for you. Here it is the "hard" manual way.
You should create a graphic specifically for this purpose and upload that JPEG file to the pace where your podcast episodes are hosted. Then you can post the URL of the picture into your RSS feed, in the top part where all the main info about your podcast is. It should look like this:
<itunes:image href="http://www.kutvfreshair.com/podcast/bloopersLogo.jpg" />
where the "href" is the http of your picture.

HD Video Podcast Category

How can I get our podcast into the "HD Podcasts" category?
I see it's listed as Podcasts > Music > Video Podcasts > HD
but I don't see how to form the correct RSS feed category tag for this.
Anyone have any ideas?
iTunes support has no clue... I've asked them multiple times with no luck.

Well, still no luck. Nobody from Apple has a clue, either.
I'm trying to get our podcast added to two categories that don't seem to be accessible by the XML tags:

Can't submit picture for video podcast in itunes

When I first got my video podcast up, it had a picture. Since I changed it a couple of times, now all I see is the black box in the itunes window. I get the question mark in the submit window when trying to submit again.
The help section off iweb says to, "drag a picture into the submit window" when submiting a podcast to itunes. That is impossible as far as I can see.

Hi,
Find the XML file iWeb makes, open it up in a text editor and change the entry for image and reference a small 300x300 image of your choosing which is located somewhere on your webspace.
Look at the podcasting how to from Apple. If you're on Dotmac, your XML file is published in a fork from iWeb called RSS.
Copy the file and amend it each time you upload. I'm afraid that seems to be the only way to do it.

Creating a video podcast with iMovie?

Can I create a video podcast through iMovie? I was planning on recording audio and inserting photos to go along, then Share -> iPod. Will that work?
Thanks!

I would recommend Podcast Maker. I used it for my audio podcast; I've not done video podcasting but it does say that it handles .mov files.
Once you have your media files sorted, Podcast Maker will do the rest. You enter the server details, and the descriptions and so on, and the locations on your Mac of the media files; it will then in one go write the feed, and upload it and the files to your server. It writes good clean rss and you shouldn't have any problems. Obviously you will need to study their instructions first, but it's not too complicated.
(I don't have any association with this firm,)
If you want an associated web site you will need to construct it yourself, using links to the media files once they've been uploaded.
If you feel the temptation to get involved with FeedBurner or similar services I would advise resisting it: they work most of the time but if there is a problem (and I've seen a lot come up in this forum) it's almost impossible to sort it out. It's also pretty well impossible to move the feed to a different URL.

How to video podcast???!?!?

Greetings,
I have searched all over the web on how to do a video podcast. The only 'answers' I have found have been sites that want you to pay to learn how, and Apple's own site which basically shows you how to export the video....which is NOT the hard part
They also have the following....
"You can publish the exported file to the Internet as an enclosure on a blogging service, such as Blogger, and wrapped in a podcast-friendly RSS feed. (Please note: the file must be hosted on a web server such as .Mac.) RSS feed providers, such as FeedBurner, make it easy to create an RSS file from your blog."
Does anyone speak whatever language that is in? If you do please help translate for me I am SOOO lost. (Apple should make a podcasting iApp)
Thanks for any help!!!

All podcasts take RSS feeds. This is a special format language like html for web pages. There are special itunes tags to add if you wish it to show up in itunes.
The raw approach is to upload your audio or video files to an ftp site (or .mac)
Then create an RSS feed using one of the free/shareware programs for the Mac. These will output a file that you can upload to the same site. There are also php files that can do this automatically but this is a web programming language.
A link to this rss file is submitted to iTunes and other podcast directories.
Everytime you add a file you need to update the rss file.
Here's what a lot of people do:
First find a host to upload your video to. That can be .mac or other location.
.Mac is easier to upload but you can use CyberDuck (free ftp program for the Mac) to upload to any other site. Upload a 300 x 300 pixel artwork to this same area.
Create a blog at blogger. (it's free) Create a Post and put in the http://yourmovieurl.m4v in the link below the post. Write a few sentences.
Sign up for feedburner (free once again)
Give feedburner your blogger address and click on podcast.
Go to feedburner area for your site and turn on SmartCast. Fill in info about your podcast.
You now have a feed from feedburner. Use Feemedic and podmedic at feedburner to check.
it is rather round about. (would be great to have one place that did it all)
One nice thing is once it's set up you can upload a file and then create a simple blog with the link. The blog can be your web page where people can read more info or access files directly. Once you create a post on blogger feedburner is autoupdated which in turn updates itunes and other podcast directories and applications.
feedburner also gives you info on number of viewers/listeners.
One item to note with video is you have to make sure the host site handles mime types for your video formats.
.mp4 = video/mpeg, etc Most don't handle mp4 or m4v so check with the hosting company.

Video Podcasts No Longer Work on my 2nd (3rd?) Gen. iPod Touch!

Okay, I'm not really sure if I actually have a 2nd or 3rd generation iPod touch. It's a 8 GB, and I bought it in November of 2009 or so. I'm guessing it's a 2nd generation since it stopped updating after iOS 4.2.1. Now with that out of the way, onto the real question....
There was a new iTunes version a few days ago, so I went ahead and updated that. Ever since, I have had difficulties with any new VIDEO podcasts that I download. I cannot sync them onto my iPod at all. Audio podcasts work just fine, but video podcasts do not. I have literally tried everything - restoring my iPod, deleting and re-downloading the podcasts, and even re-installed iTunes completely. I figure that it might have something to do with the file type of the videos, but I would've gotten an error message if that had been the case. I am extremely puzzled. Please advise.

No one?

Moving Keynote Presentation to a Video Podcast

I have a Keynote presentation that I would like to record with narration, manually advance slides in sync with the narration, then move the combined narrated Keynote to a video podcast where viewer can see the slides and hear the narration.
Have tried moving it to GarageBand but it seems to throw up on the audio, won't take it in either the 'copy audio' or 'mix audio' options.
iMovie seems a logical choice but text on the slides (which look great in Keynote) all look out of focus in iMovie, either the new one or iMovieHD. Some fonts help this situation but none look anywhere as clear as the original Keynote. Went to One on Ones and no help there.
This does not seem like an off the wall application of Keynote to me but a logical extension for 'distance learning'. Has anyone done this successfully with text /photo slides with narration? how about slides with video clips as well?

How to delete video podcast without using iTunes

My Mac is G5 PPC, OSX 10.4.11, so cannot use
iTunes to sync Ipad; so is there a way of deleting downloaded video podcasts from the iPad?
When headphone is connected to the iPad, should the internal speaker not be automatically disconnected like on the iPod?

makam wrote:
Appreciate suggestion, but does not work. Maintaining touch on the title, highlight the video, no delete check mark appears; letting go start the video playing again.
Kappy's suggestion doesn't work for me either. Just go into the iPod App, click on Podcasts, and swipe to the right. You should get a "Delete" block on the right. That's how it works on my iPad.

HT5295 How do I play video podcasts on my TV via the Podcasts app? After iOS 6 upgrade, I'm unable to do this.

I used to be able to play video podcasts on my TV by connecting my iPod touch to the TV via an Apple AV cable. Now that I've upgraded to ios 6 and the podcasts app got installed along with the upgrade, video podcasts will no longer play on my TV. It should be noted that other video content (movies, TV shows, etc) will play properly. Is there a setting I need to make that will fix this, or is this yet another bug with the podcasts app? Also, I have to say that I'm not happy at all with the Podcasts app, so if there's a way to uninstall it without harming the functionality of ios 6, that would be great.

I found a workaround that puts podcasts back in the video app as well as the music app so you can watch them on TV via an AV cable again.
The instructions can be found at this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uaI9GwPKXkE
In short:
1. Make sure both the music and podcast app aren't running on your iPhone.
2. Plug your iPhone into your computer and disable Podcast syncing for your iPhone in iTunes.
3. Remove the podcast app from your iPhone
4. Plug your iPhone into your computer again and turn on podcast syncing, then sync.
5. Turn off and then back on your iPhone.
After I did this, I found podcasts had returned to being listed in my music and video apps.
Hope this helps you too!
