Yeah, I was talking about the Widget plugin. And I see now that it doesn't actually generate feeds.
Weird that turning it off stopped my problems last year. Or maybe I'm confused. But anyway, here's something weirder: I told John that Feedburner was ignoring his video file links because they didn't have rel="enclosure" in them. Which is probably true. But vPIP doesn't insert rel="enclosure" into *anybody's* video links. But other people using vPIP get their files turned into enclosures anyway, despite the lack of rel="enclosure". You, for example - and Verdi. Feedburner sniffs out your mov files by itself. So why not John? His feed validates OK, but Feedburner's Podmedic says it can't find anything to make into enclosures. He's not doing anything fancy - just using exactly the same settings that were set up for him last year. Putting the video files into the vPIP control panel on WP 2.3 It seems to me that the problem's not with Feedburner. It's something to do with the way that vPIP is outputting the links. And why is there no rel="enclosure" in vPIP links? Is that an oversight?

Or if it did work, I couldn't see where, or how. If that's what you were using could you please explain how to use it? http://changelog.ca/project/VideoPress_Video_Feeds Also, perhaps you're talking about the vPIP Feeds plugin - but all that does it figure out which feed queries vPIP generates and make a WordPress widget you can drag into your sidebar that links to them. It doesn't really generate feeds either.
