Viewing Enhanced Podcasts?

Hopefully I'm overlooking something, but I can't seem to figure out how to automatically view still images included in enhanced podcasts on my iPad. When I download the podcasts from iTunes, they load and play via my iPod application. I see the poster frame and the audio plays fine, but I can't see subsequent images the way I can when viewing the same podcasts in iTunes on my MBP, MP or MB.
The podcasts I'm trying to watch is "The Martin Bailey Photography Podcast," in case an example will help.
Thanks!

here's been my work around solution that seems to work fine - there's probably a quicker way, so let me know.
1. from garage band, share to disk (for better quality images, i took off the set images to 300x300 box). don't send to itunes yet. file exports as an .m4a.
2. open .m4a file using quicktime (i use quicktime player 10.0). file uploads images, chapters, etc.
3. save file as .mov file. (select format that works for you - i've been trying the HD 480p option).
4. drag .mov file to itunes.
5. sync MOVIES. play within movies.
6. play out of the video APP.
hope that helps. let me know if you have any better luck or other options. seems terrible that i would have to save every enhanced podcast as a .mov file.

  • How to view enhanced podcast slides on iPad mini

    How can I view slides for enhanced podcasts on an iPad Mini?
    It seems it used to be possible but a recent iPad update has disabled the functionality.

    Thank you for the attempt to help.
    I've also downloaded Downcast.
    It does show the album cover but it doesn't actually show the slides as they transition throughout the podcast.

  • Trouble viewing enhanced podcasts

    When I am using iTunes, I can click on the album art and it displays (almost) full-screen in its own window.
    When I am watching a video in iTunes, I can option-click the small image and the movie will play (almost) full-screen in its own window.
    If I am watching an enhanced podcast (.m4b) in iTunes, the pictures change (like a slide show) at the beginning of each “chapter.” If I click one of these pictures, it displays (almost) full-screen in its own window. (So far so good...)
    Here’s my question / problem:
    When viewing an enhanced podcast in its own window, the pictures do not change in the large window. I can see the pictures still changing in the smaller “album art” window, but the only way to view the picture sequence in the larger window seems to be to click on the small image every time it advances to the new image.
    Is this right? Is there some way to watch the changing pictures in their own window?

  • Viewing enhanced podcast in itunes

    I have the newest version of iTunes and operating system. My question is I am watching/listening to a audio podcast that is enhanced. It is the Profcast getting started file. In there they a slideshow that has bullets coming in but if I click on the window to open a bigger window that doesn't update as the slide show goes on. I can see it updated in the little bottom left window changing. What do I need to do so I can see it change in the big window?
    Oh yes it does play fine also if I open with qt player.

    That's normal. The separate large window showing album art is a static window. You'll also notice that if you play a music track and open that large display, the display does not change when the next song starts playing.
    While you're playing the podcast, drag the center line between the artwork and the track list to expand the size of the artwork's display box. It'll make it a little more readable.

  • Viewing chapter artwork in M4A enhanced podcasts

    Hi, I just acquired a new iPod Nano.
    I can't seem to see the chapter artwork when I listen (and watch) my enhanced audio podcasts (m4a) (Among others This Week in Media and sneaker.fm) .
    I'm also a podcast producer and tried watching my podcast on the nano, but unlike my older iPod Photo it does not seem to show the album art coupled to each chapter. Do I miss some sort of setting?
    I really really wanted just to see FULL SCREEN chapter artwork while watching the m4a files. Please fix this or help me!

    I wanted to add my comments about how disappointing it is to not be able to view enhanced podcasts on the 3G nano. I develop them for educational use (you can embed large images for Quicktime computer based viewing and we have little need for live action video). I do hope Apple gets this fixed-or makes an official pronouncement if they intend to abandon the enhanced format. It would be a REAL pain to have to redo my extant material in the video format. There are many annoying minor bugs in the 1.1 upgrade-these are described in other posts. The price we pay as early adopters I suppose.

  • How do I view an enhanced podcast?

    I listen to Amateur Traveller and it is an enhanced podcast where I used to see picture content when I played it on my iPhone. How do I view enhanced podcasts with the new app?

    I don't think you can anymore. Or at least, not easily. I just published my 11th episode of an enhanced podcast. Simultaneously, I updated the OS on my woefully outdated Iphone. This gave me the latest Podcast app update. As a result, I only see the Episode art and the first chapter art. After that, there are no other images shown even though my chapters are listed in the "Chapter" menu in the app. At first I thought I exported my episode incorrectly, but then I tried an older episode and had the same results. After some research, it appears that Apple has basically pulled its support for enhanced podcasts. This is evident by the fact that their latest updates of Garage Band have omitted podcast tools altogether. If you download the podcast episode into Itunes (on your laptop/desktop), you can still access the enhanced version. This is also true if you download the episode in Safari. But that doesn't make for convenient listening/watching on the go.
    Sadly, the days of enhanced podcasts seem to be numbered. I'd love to hear what other enhanced podcast creators/listeners are experiencing with the lack of support for "enhanced" podcasting.

  • Enhanced podcast in separate window?

    I have made a enhanced audio podcast, and the chapter/images show up fine in the iTunes main window. However, if I click the small image to pull up a larger image, the larger image does not update as the podcast continues to play.
    In other words, for VideoCasts you can play the video in a separate window fine, but you cannot do something similar for enhanced podcasts.
    I have seen similar posts on this forum, but I have not seen any answers yet.
    Any news on this issue? Is this the only behavior for iTunes, or can I change iTunes to update the larger window? Is my enhance podcast screwed up somehow and that is causing the problem?

    S.M.--
    You're right about the current behavior of the player when it comes to viewing enhanced podcast artwork. If you want to make sure that an expanded player window can handle multiple images, stick to video (for now).

  • Enhanced podcasts not working in iOS 5; new music app keeps crashing

    I just updated to iOS5 and regularly view enhanced podcasts.  after the update, I can no longer figure out how to view the enhanced version anymore.  I get the sound, but the image does not change.  Can anybody please help?
    on top of this the new music app in iOS5 keeps crashing and I have to restart the iPad all the time.

    Having the same issue except for the crashes. Everything seems to be working, just not the way it used to. The enhanced podcasts were great, the ones that I subscribed to changed the backgrounds often and linked to other sites and gave some great info. Now... Nothing!
    I have been reading that everyone is having issues with podcasts and the button to get new episodes, or whatever it was called, and this may just be another glitch. I sure wish they could fix it. I listen to podcasts more that I ever listened to music.

  • How do I view images in enhanced podcasts in iTunes?

    I've been making podcasts for years in Garageband, then exporting to iTunes to view in my classroom.  Suddenly in the new version of iTunes I can't find the "view artwork" for viewing my podcasts.  What am I missing?

  • Enhanced Podcasts Too Small to See

    I work at a university where we're looking into using podcasts as a teaching tool.
    We're considering a software that will automatically record/sync a professor's lecture (audio) and PowerPoint notes (actually anything from the computer screen) into an enhanced podcast.
    The trouble is... when viewing this on my 5th gen iPod, you can't read anything from the PowerPoint slides. Almost 1/2 " from either side of the screen... and almost 1/4" inch from the top & bottom of the screen... aren't being used.
    I suspect this has something to do with maintaining the aspect ratio of the original source? Is there any way around this? To utilize more of the screen? What's the maximum image size for an enhanced podcast?
    Another method we've employed involves creating video podcasts of the same lectures/PowerPoint slides. You lose the ability to add chapters - but the video takes up the entire iPod screen (so you can actually read the notes!)
    Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated!

    I agree, this needs to be addressed big time. It's a waste having to open the template, just to decide against it and have to close the whole document, then open a new doc to view the template gallery again. This is why I also suggest a way to view the template gallery from a button on the toolbar as well, rather than only when opening a new doc. I'm amazed this wasn't implemented by Apple...
    If there is a way to view the template gallery and select new templates without opening a completely new doc, please let me know.

  • 7.1.6 update broke enhanced podcast in safari

    hi.
    i'm seeing some issues about the 7.1.6 update in the boards, but none that are quite what i'm experiencing. after applying the update i can view flash movies, and files from youtube, etc.; it is only the enhanced podcasts (in this case on an rss feed) that i'm having trouble with.
    i have done the usual fixes, including reinstalling via download, repair permissions, delete plist files (move first - THEN delete!), tried other browsers. i have not tried an "archive and install", as i'm hoping to find a less drastic solution.
    the offending site displays fine with 7.1.5 on a very similarly configured imac g4. am i alone? any other suggestions?

    It appears to be a "bug" in 7.1.6 and the browser plug-in.
    The .m4a files (MPEG-4 audio) that also include a video track seem to start to load via the plug-in (a quick display of the image then a change to the QT ? icon).
    I suggested changing the extension to .m4v in another post as a "temporary" fix until Apple identifies the error and sends us a fix.
    I think the error is part of new security features in QuickTime. The .m4a should be an audio file (this is what the plug-in expects) and when it finds the "video" it turns off the plug-in. The same file will play just fine in QuickTime Player.

  • Having trouble with enhanced podcasts, Can anyone help me adjust my iPod?

    Whenever I listen to my enhanced podcasts through iTunes, I have no problems viewing the photos the podcaster included in the program. However, when I play the same podcast in my iPod, the photos will not show. I only see the timeline with the little segments that represent the chapters. I can hit the forward and back arrows and I am taken the to the next chapter marker. But, unfortunately, I do not see the photos, as I do see them in iTunes.
    Can anyone help me adjust my iPod to enable it to play enhanced podcasts correctly?
    According to the iPod manuals, I should be able to see enhanced podcasts with no trouble.
    Thanks.

    I have solved it myself. Here's how I did it:
    In iTunes, go to Edit and click to Show Art Work and leave it as "Hide Art Work." (Now it will download the enhanced messages.)
    Now go to the iPod: From the Main Menu, go to Settings. At the Settings, go to the other Main Menu. From this Main Menu, go to Music and make sure that the following are on:
    Playlists, Photos, and Photo Import, Videos, and Extras.
    Good Luck.

  • No enhanced podcast with iPad

    I've searched around and found a couple of posts in the iPad discussion that seem to confirm my worst fears: you cannot view an enhanced podcast on an iPad!!!! It's a brick! This must be because the "ipod" app I guess cannot carry out the high-tech sequencing of still graphics with the audio. Or did I miss something and Steve Jobs just announced that the iPad will have no artwork created after 1500, lest anything later be construed as too flashy? Apple, please give us back enhanced podcasts-- it's a fair trade for taking the iPad leap of faith.

    I do enhanced podcasts for my online students with Keynote and Garage band. I created an .m4p and it plays FINE on my iPod touch, so I can't imagine why it won't work on an iPad.
    I get the Episode artwork but none of the chapters. The tracks all show up in the list view, but no images. Also, if I display the Episode artwork, I can't get the controls to appear. Bug, bug, bug.

  • Enhanced podcasts on iweb - embedded URLs misbehave

    i create enhanced podcasts with chapters, embedded urls, pics. i usually export ('share') them to/with itunes and my iweb-created site. (as m4a files).
    when they go to itunes, and are distributed through itunes, they behave properly, in that when a viewer clicks on an embedded URL link, the page pops open in a separate window and the podcast file stops playing.
    when a visitor clicks and plays them from the website, the player opens in a browser window .. then when you click on an embedded url .... it leaves that browser window completely and goes to the page. but the podcast files simply closes ... so to go back to it .... you hit the backwards arrow, and you have to restart the podcast. stoopid. apple says it's hard wired that way, while admitting it's a dumb setup. does anyone know a way around this ? i'm not a code monkey, but i can do a little hacking if necessary. thanks ....

    After checking out the history of photography, I see it uses a double text track with photo-jpeg track for the photos, this is a similar format for chapter markers on itunes movies, chapter markers are accessed via the up button on the remote, so the possibility that photos could be seen by a back door method isn't possible anyway because the up button already has a function for audio files on the tv.
    In short no you can't see the photos I'm afraid.

  • Enhanced Podcast Image Size?

    Hi - I'm wondering if anyone knows what the minimum, maximum, recommended, or optimal image size and resolution are for building enhanced podcasts in Garageband. I have looked through a variety of support options at Apple and I can't find any guidelines about what file types and sizes can be used when adding images to an enhanced podcast, just which sound and video files are supported. The podcasts may be viewed via iTunes or on an iPod, so the viewing size may vary drastically. Any tips would be helpful! Thank you!

    Hi
    Optimal size/resolution for an extended podcast image is 300x300 at 72 dpi. Use .jpg
