I just tried it and it worked.

Yes, in iTunes: Advanced - Subscribe to Podcast and there you go! 

We are working on an alternative interface too, but running into IE
issues. Will let you all know!

I tried it on iTunes 7 on a power book and, I got the dreaded exclamation
point meaning the feed is broken (in my world anyway).

To clarify, the feed is:

http://www.mefeedia.com/tags/videobloggingweek2008/rss2.xml

I should be able to select advanced/subscribe to podcast, enter that and
away I go?

2008-04-22 Thread Steve Watkins
Thanks very much Frank and Christian :) I guess the errors I got when I tried 
were in 
themselves erroneous! Still my url for the feed that works is stupidly long, 
which probably 
doesnt help.

I really need to pay more attention to this stuff, Ive been slack, but then 
again Im 
deliberately being sloppy and treating my vlog as a scrapbook.

So thanks to everyone else too for the interesting feed discussion, I avoid 3rd 
party 
services if I can, often for no terribly good reason. I will save the good 
advise you have 
given me, for if I ever get round to trying to do a proper video show or 
something. At this 
rate thats still pencilled in for around 2014.

Thanks again

Yeah I just wrote up a how-to on editing the .htaccess file so that
you can move your feed around without losing your subscribers:

Absolutely agree with you re: keeping the feed to keep the subscribers.  I
know I would lose many/most of them if I changed it.
Heck, I probably wouldn't follow myself if I changed it!

Does anyone have any thoughts on that?

If I was starting a new feed, and am not a feed newbie, I would try to have
the feed come from your site and not Feedburner.

You may want to burn your wordpress feed with feedburner and then set 
that up as your main feed.  It could also be another plugin issue 
causing the problem.  If you need to know how to set up a feedburner

Hi Steve,

The vPIP Quicktime feed worked fine. It is here:

http://www.mefeedia.com/feeds/37130

The Wordpress feed didn't contain media elements, so won't work in
Mefeedia or iTunes (well, you can add it to iTunes, but won't play any
episodes).

Also, we have a users group here in case anyone else is experiencing
issues:
http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/mefeedia-users/

Neither Wordpress nor vPIP are being kind to you. Neither is giving  
you a "safe" feed. By "safe", it's generally meant (quoting Mark  
Pilgrim from way back in 2003) "safe to consume with a browser-based  
RSS reader". Here are his recommendations:

* Strip script tags. This almost goes without saying. Script tags can  
be used by unscrupulous publishers to insert pop-up ads onto your  
news page. Think it won't happen? Some larger commercial publishers  
are already inserting text ads and banner ads into their feeds.
* Strip embed tags.
* Strip object tags.
* Strip frameset tags.
* Strip frame tags.
* Strip iframe tags.
* Strip meta tags, which can be used to hijack a page and redirect it  
to a remote URL.
* Strip link tags, which can be used to import additional style  
definitions.
* Strip style tags, for the same reason.
* Strip style attributes from every single remaining tag. My platypus  
prank was based entirely on a single rogue style attribute.

http://diveintomark.org/archives/2003/06/12/how_to_consume_rss_safely

Of course, few feeds do actually stay within these guidelines. If I  
were you, I'd dive into the vPIP code and strip out the onclick  
attributes because the vPIP script is not included - and as a result  
they are redundant. It shouldn't be too hard to alter the atom:link  
href either, although I've not looked at vPIP's code for oooh a long  
time.

I'm surprised that Mefeedia aren't parsing feeds to strip (at least  
some of) these tags out, but FWIW, the vPIP feed works fine in iTunes  
and NetNewsWire here on my Mac.

Cheers,

Christian

Could someone help me with a feed issue? I setup my site in a hurry,
using wordpress & vPip, and mefeedia gives me errors when I try to add
the feed.

This one is the vPip feed for quicktime:

http://www.mutantquartz.com/wp-content/plugins/widgets/vPIPFeed.php?blogURL=http%3A//www.mutantquartz.com&media=vs-title%3A%2BQuickTime

This is the standard wordpress rss2 feed:

http://www.mutantquartz.com/?feed=rss2

Haylpe! Im not sure whether I should be trying to get a solution from
wordpress, vPip, showinabox, or mefeedia. The vpip feed validates but
with a few recommendations, the wordpress feed fails validation.

Hi Markus,

That RSS should work in iTunes now. I just tried it in iTunes 7.x and
it worked.

You might notice a small discrepancy of entries between the web page
and the RSS feed. We've recently implemented extensive caching, which
has made the tags quite zippy, but causes a delay of a few hours to
completely update both web page and RSS feed.

You can also grab the tag widget, and RSS from that page. Also, you
can do a search "videobloggingweek2008" and that should pick up videos
that perhaps weren't even tagged and only had it in the description.

The tag and search updates throughout the day.
