Geek Fu #76: Heaven Pt. 9 - trying again

I have tried to fix the feed a number of times, sorry to everyone who’s having trouble. I’m trying again.

Someday I’ll learn how to do RSS by hand and bypass all this dependence on Wordpress, Feedburner, and the like.

Here’s the file

I think the problem is that PodPress’s links are confusing Feedburner. When I looked the other day, it seemed FB was trying to make an enclosure out of the web player link. You might be able to solve this by turning off the smart enclosure feature in FB, but you will have to remember to make the enclosures in WordPress (unless PodPress does it). I suggest you set up an alternate Feedburner feed for testing so you can twiddle with the settings without sending everyone’s podcatchers into spasms.

I don’t know if this is the problem you’re having, but Chris Marquardt from the “Tips From The Top Floor” podcast mentioned that FeedBurner had made a change recently that made episode URLS too long for the Juice podcast receiver to handle. (I think Juice has a limit of 250-something characters for its URLS).

The new beta of the Juice receiver is supposed to fix the problem.

Jones is right on the money. I downloaded the 2.22a1 version of Juice and this episode downloaded just fine. (find Juice 2.22 in the Juice support forums at http://www.juicereceiver.com/support/viewtopic.php?t=1012).

Oh I know you’re magic, Evo, but I also know you’re busier than God this month.

Just download the new beta of Juice, so can confirm it works for now.

I was having the same problems along with many other podcasters using feedburner. A quick, easy and hopefully temporary fix is to go to your feedburner settings and turn download tracking off .
This was suggested to me by the feedburner team & it has worked so far.
