   Hi
   I'm having trouble getting a podcast working that's running from the feed for a custom post type. The feed works, but there are no enclosures and therefore it's not recognised as a podcast.

   Things that work fine:
   - enclosures on normal posts
   - RSS feed for custom post type, at [site]/feed/?post_type=podcast
   (feed works fine, displays link to audio files - no problems there)

   WordPress' automatic recognition of MP3 links doesn't seem to be working for this custom post type...
   Without the bother of creating a new post type to test, any suggestions about how I get to the bottom of this?

   Here's where I've got to so far...
   rss_enclosure() uses data from get_post_custom().
   Taking a look at this, I can see that my custom post type does not have an enclosure field in the meta data...
   - Any ideas why?

   Thanks

   You have to call do_enclose for the post:

   
function my_do_enclose($id) {
do_enclose(get_post_field('post_content', $id), $id);
}
add_action('post_updated', 'my_do_enclose');

   Actually, you should probably check for post_type or else you'll be doing this twice for regular posts. In my case, I have a 'podcast' post_type:

   function podcast_do_enclose($id) {
       $post = get_post($id);
       if ($post->post_type == 'podcast') {
         do_enclose($post->post_content, $id);
       }
   }
   
   add_action('post_updated', 'podcast_do_enclose');
