Two Podcast Problems
« on: August 20, 2012, 02:56:54 pm »
Hey all, work for a site called Razzball and we have a two part issue.  We recently started our fantasy football podcast up again with the new people running 'Fantasy Football Blog at Razzball.com - Nick Capozzi - and saw that not only is the newest podcast not showing up but that our old feed 'Razzball Fantasy Football Podcast' with JBrubach is still visible and available.  We have a new podcast to post on Wednesday this week and would really like to get this hammered out before then if possible.  Admittedly a tech-idiot here so any and all help would be wonderful.

What's the URL to your listing on iTunes? e.g. http://itunes.apple.com/ua/podcast/some-title/id00000000

Hey, also from Razzball... Thought I'd add on here to clarify since I was the one who set it up.  I set up our football podcast with Blubrry the same way I set up this one:

http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/fantasy-baseball-blog-at-razzball.com/id510098639

So I installed Blubrry for our football side of things, entered Nick Capozzi as the author and submitted it to iTunes.  iTunes then changed our 2011 Fantasy Football podcast (the link that Sky put above) above and did not add our new podcast from last week:  http://football.razzball.com/the-razzball-fantasy-football-podcast-nick-gets-jb-to-go-all-mikel-leshoure-on-desean-jackson

I don't care that the old podcasts from 2011 are on there, but I would like the new ones to show up.  Any ideas where I'm going wrong?

Okay iTunes listing for ID 553547897 is pulling feed URL (http://football.razzball.com/feed/podcast). Latest episode in that feed is Friday, December 23, 2011 1:14 AM. So as far as Apple's listing is concerned, that's correct. Perhaps your updating the wrong site?

iTunes listing for ID 510098639 is pulling feed URL (http://feeds.feedburner.com/Razzball). I can't help you with FeedBurner feeds unless you hire us as consultants. FeedBurner isn't one of our products or services, it requires us to have your login information to diagnose. I can tell you by looking at the feed though that it only has 1 episode in it, the rest are blog posts and will not appear on iTunes.

Yeah, that seems to be the issue... Any ideas why the feed isn't updating?  As you see from the link I posted above, there was a new podcast.... This was updating last year with no problems... Nothing has changed that I'm aware of (therein lies the problem, probably)...  Please, any help would be greatly appreciated...  Thanks!

Oh, and I don't know if this is the problem, but our feed is here:  http://feeds.feedburner.com/FantasyFootballBlogAtRazzballcom

As far as 2 different feedburner feeds, not sure what to tell you except the feed I replied with is what iTunes is pulling, and it only has 1 episode and the erst of the feed is just blog posts.

As far the last episode (http://football.razzball.com/the-razzball-fantasy-football-podcast-nick-gets-jb-to-go-all-mikel-leshoure-on-desean-jackson), I don't see play in new window or download links, my guess is your just putting [powerpress url=""] which only inserts a player in the post. You need to use the Podcast Episode box "Media URL" in order to tie the media to the podcast feed. The episode box gathers extra details such as the file size and duration in seconds that iTunes needs in the feed.

Thanks so much, I think that was the issue:

http://www.feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Ffootball.razzball.com%2Ffeed%2Fpodcast

Now has the latest so in theory iTunes will update right?

Yes, give iTunes 24-72 hours to update.
