iPodders podcast on Webmaster Cookbook show #9
Posted by ChefTD on Oct 7, 2004
Good news for those who can’t make the live show each week. We just added the ability to start including RSS enclosures for iPodders to listen to each week’s radio show in full and to date without any editing. All new shows will have the RSS enclosures as part of the Official Menu at the conclusion of the weekly Live show. These are 8-9MB MP3 files typically. This post has the enclosure for our most recent broadcast: show #9. Enjoy!
Update: It seems like there might be some trouble with the current scheme I’m using. Here’s the story: the only problem I have with this RSS enclosure scheme is leaving the mp3 files in public areas.
Instead, I would like to put them in a non-public directory and serve them up via a PHP script gateway (and logger so I can run stats on them without having to scrape the access logs) but this doesn’t seem to be compatible (yet) with the most recent version of iPodder.
It will create the directory but not transfer the file unfortunately. I can download the MP3s through both Firefox and Internet Explorer, but cannot load them up through iPodder as an RSS enclosure in the blog.
Anybody reading this that might know any of the iPodder developers directly please pass this along. I’m going to try and contact them through Sourceforge. Here’s an example of the feed with enclosure that currently doesn’t work through iPodder: http://www.webmastercookbook.com/wp-rss2.php
