In reply to: [Seriously Simple Podcasting] Customize cover image pathBumping thread, just wanted to see if you were able to find any issues in the feed, or if there was someplace I could manually put in the path for cover image

In reply to: [Seriously Simple Podcasting] Customize cover image pathHi jami1kenob, first, I would like to say that I am very interested in subscribing to your podcast once you get it running, it sounds like something I would really enjoy. Looking at the feed code I don’t see anything that would prevent iTunes from accepting it. I just tried doing a manual pull of your feed and that worked fine.
The primary issue with my feed is that we use a dev url behind a firewall, so I had to manually enter the enclosure and audio_file fields so iTunes would be able to pull my files.
It is possible that you are actually getting the error on the second step because your image is smaller than the required dimensions, maybe try resizing your image to a min size of 1400x1400px and a max size of 3000×3000 px.
I was getting the exact same error, it looks like the issue is with your enclosure tag, look at your xml file and try going to the url listed as your enclosure tag and you will see it is a 404. Not sure how to fix that, I am trying a couple things here to fix the same issue.
Edit: Got it working for me, I had to hard code the location of the uploaded mp3 file, and made sure the enclosure custom field was correct, i hope that helps

In reply to: [Seriously Simple Podcasting] URL issues dev server vs live serverHi Hugh, thank you very much for your reply. My concern with doing that is that the rule would cause a redirect loop. We do all our development in a locked environment only accessible from our network, so the site is:
http://sandbox.dev.mysite.com/sitename
When we push to our production servers the address is just:
http://www.mysite.com/sitename
If I wrote a rule in .htaccess like:
RewriteRule ^feed/podcast(.*)$ http://www.mysite.com/sitename/feed/podcast/ [L,NC,R=301]When the site is pushed to our production server, the domain is automatically updated, so it would be redirecting to itself.
I guess my question should be, are the podcast and feed URLs dynamic? Are they updated along with the rest of the config file when we go to production servers, or, is the xml file for the podcast static with the source URL if we were to submit to iTunes, etc?
I hope that question makes more sense. Thank you.
