In that case, what does the code look like when you're editing the article? Specifically, what does your {enclose ... } tag look like?

Is there a way to get the player to play smaller bit rates.  I have files that run 45 min.  At 128 or even 96 ther file are simpley to large.    Breaking a file into smaller parts is an option, but more work.  Any ideas?

The player does not play Variable Bit Rate MP3's, but I think it will do lower bit rate files that are fixed. This is a limitation of Flash and I didn't write the player.

Also, if you don't need stereo (when it's just speech and no music), be sure to record your files as mono.

I don't know if this is the problem, but just I noticed that you're using a Windows/IIS server. I haven't really tested the suite against those (since I don't have one) so I'm unsure of whether or not this would inherently cause problems.

I know a little php and might be able to trace the code. What would be the best way to trace the problem? What file should I look into? etc.

Take a look at where it's actually writing out the files and make sure it has permissions to do so, etc.. This should be in podcast.php and feedcreator.class.php, both in the frontend.

Thanks for this wonderful and needed resource!

My issue: I have the podcast suit installed, mambot published, it seems to be writing the podrss20.xml file properly, yet I can't see the player on the website, Here is a link to a content items where a podcast is published: http://joomla.brewplanet.com/content/view/20/146/

Can anyone help?

I can't see for sure without editing your file, but it looks a bit like you don't have the {enclose} code in the article.
Edit the page and check for the file name inside the {enclose} {/enclose} tags.

Your filename has spaces in it. Remove those and republish the episode without them.

Jlleblanc, That did the trick! No there's one final issue. I am using the  News portal component from Ijoomla.com. the player is not showing on the home page (which is the News portal component) I assume it's not showing up because this is a component and not content? Is there any way to make it appear? here is link: http://joomla.brewplanet.com/component/ ... Itemid,36/

Yeah, the ijoomla.com component would need to fire the content plugins (like Joomla does for modules) on the articles.

Do you know it it is possible for them to "fire the content plug-in?"

I will ask them. Thanks for your help!

when submitting to itunes directory i get an error:

"error parsing feed: invalid XML: error on line 224: the refererence to entity "func" must end with the ';' delimeter.

uhhh. i don't even know where to look for this?

Can you post a link to your feed?

Did you give them the full feed link ( http://lazyconvert.ecministry.com/index ... &no_html=1 ) or just the link to your website ( http://lazyconvert.ecministry.com )? You need to give them the full feed link.

errr. uh.  that would explain it. 


thanx 

this component is great....  exactly what i needed...

i tried using that dewey player with it but couldn't get it to work.  am i suppossed to just upload the bot and select flash player or am i suppossed to also manipulate the {tags}?

would it be difficult to use any mp3 player with this?  i really like using the 1pixel out one....  simple and clean.

thanks

The player I included should work out of the box. If you want to use a different player, it's also designed to handle this. Upload the Flash file to your site, then use the HTML code feature to add the code you need. There's a {filename} tag you use to place the file path where you need it in the HTML source. I know a lot of people have gotten DewPlayer to work with it, so it shouldn't be too complicated.

yeah thx man.  the included player is cool...  and it was simple to incoporate the player i use..  1pixelout...

i just wrapped the {audio}tags around the html code{/audio}

great component!!!

Forgive the noob question but can I use allvideos player (joomlaworks) instead of the included player? I am currently using alllvideos for some video items where I just insert the tags around the filename, I would like to use the same player throughout the site. I really like Podcast suite for managing podcast but can't figure out how to get it to use the allvideos plugin.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
DJ

Scrape up the HTML that the allvideos player is throwing out and place it in the Custom HTML option in the settings panel for the podcast component.

I'd like to also put in my thanks for all the hard work on this component, however I'm having a bit of trouble with the mambot. Both the original and modified (to work with dewplayer) mambots make the frontend homepage, as well as posts published with the podcast component, display the following:

"Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated - argument passed by value; If you would like to pass it by reference, modify the declaration of [runtime function name](). If you would like to enable call-time pass-by-reference, you can set allow_call_time_pass_reference to true in your INI file. However, future versions may not support this any longer. line 24

If you would like to enable call-time pass-by-reference, you can set allow_call_time_pass_reference to true in your INI file. However, future versions may not support this any longer. Line 26"

It then lists the root directory path leading all the way to mambots/content/podcast.php. I've spent a few days configuring and changing settings around, even commenting out those lines in podcasts.php, which actually prevents the text from showing up, but still won't let my podcasts publish. Any thoughts?

This happens with certain PHP configurations. Here's the fix:

That did it! Thanks again! 

Hi,
I am currently trying to get this component to run in Joomla 1.5 Beta2. Well, with the legacy Plugin enabled. Although i suck in php i succeeded with most of it.  8)

• In Backend: Settings can be adjusted, saved, Articles for files can be written and saved
• in Frontend The Module is showing up and the feed itself is there.

I don't understand all those metadatafiles though, they don't seem to do anything. ???

Anyways, what i cant get to run is the Mambot/Plugin. :'(
It is installed and published, it gets called when the page is being prepared, but it doesn't receive the text to hand it over to the reg Ex function. The following code is a stripped down version which results in a js alert that should show some content from the current article. in J1.5 it doesn't show anything, in J1.12 it does. I am totally stuck here, don't even know how those Plugin functions receive their parameters. where should &$row come from? Any help is appreciated!

defined( '_JEXEC' ) or die( 'Restricted access' );
$mainframe->registerEvent( 'onPrepareContent', 'botPodcast' );

/**
* Plugin that changes podcast Tags to links or the like
*/
//function botPodcast( $published, &$row, &$params, $page=0 )
function botPodcast($published, &$row, &$params, $page=0 )
{
echo("");
/*
    everything commented out
    return true;
*/
}

i had the same problem and just solved it.

the old mambot started with:
function fname( $published, &$row, &$params, $page=0 ) {

i changed it to
function fname( &$row, &$params, $page=0 ) {

then everything was fine!

Hi,

I've just installed the Podcast and it works great in IE - shows the full listing when I click on Full Feed. However in FireFox, I see the xml document tree instead. The msg I see is.....

"This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below......"


Why does this happen? What can I do so that it appears the way it does in IE?

Thanks in advance.

It's a raw RSS feed. IE just displays it more attractively.
