Thanks Nardo and NeilA, That’s really helpful to know.
How often do you need to update things at feedburner?
You’re welcome.
I haven’t updated anything at Feedburner. Once the feed is set up there (in my case reading any new posts in a certain category), it just happens.
I don’t claim to have a deep understanding of these things, but I do know that after a podcast post in that category, that post – complete with the ‘enclosure’ appears in my Bloglines page.
Feedburner will also do an iTunes feed automatically, but I haven’t tried it…
Cheers

Re: MP3 handling? Opinions, suggestions, etc.
I found that about the feeds:
zem: We’ve considered using templates for feeds in 4.1.
For me that means, i give up design a plugin for podcats, i make it a template and write the plugin for that template.

Re: MP3 handling? Opinions, suggestions, etc.
I’m just preparing my txp for a podcast.
First of all: the upload has to be in textpattern. e.g. in the office, the ftp-port is locked!
Second: Feedburner is building the enclosure quite well, but I’d prefer a textpatternsolution.
From an enduser point of view: I’d prefer inserting the podcast with one tag (similar to bastians plugin).
This tag should show a flashplayer on the blog, and a enclosure in the feed. Additional it should be possible (like in upm_image_popper) to set a form for the player, if I want the player to be in the right upper corner and text floating around. and I dont want to write everytime an indivdual div-tag around the txp tag.
This discussion is really intersting, I can’t code, but I’d love to help you testing and giving advice for usability.

A great tutorial on the feedburner method is posted at my friend Rob’s site here

hi ma_smith.
Sorry, but, the link is broken.
You find the article here
Burning the feed with Feedburner is not a big issue, but Textpattern should be able to make the right feed!

Re: MP3 handling? Opinions, suggestions, etc.
Hi all, I was just wondering if anyone has created a TXP solution to the creating podcasts without having to use Feed Burner. I haven’t seen any action here in a while and was wondering how things were going and would like to help.

I think, everybody is waiting for the 4.1 release. There should be a feed template.

Hi Matthew,
Maybe <a href=“http://tips-scripts.com/?tip=upload”>this</a> script might help.

Colak,
I’ll be looking into that, Thanks!
Dreamhost has let me know that I can “compile” PHP specific to my user account.
Which means I can affect the php.ini directly. All of that is WAY over my head, but
I may give it a go, with some help from mee TXP friends here at the forum :)

Hey Matthew,
I assume this is all tied up to the upload limit when doing it via php?
I host with DH too, so when you find out what all that means, let me know too… ;-)

NeilA,
I contacted Dreamhost and they helped me with this: (actually I innadvertantly contact them twice with the same request. The most helpful was the following, the least helpful said nothing could be done, goes to show it doesn’t hurt to ask twice or be persistant)
email from dreamhost:
__________________________________________________________________________________
Unfortunately, we can not change the php configuration for the server as
a whole, and our architecture currently does not allow us to make a
modification for a single account.
You can, however, compile PHP via your shell user under your own account,
which will give you your own php.ini file under your user account that
you can modify with whatever changes you like, including upping the max
filesize.
We have some information on compiling PHP (as well as a shell script
that’ll do pretty much everything for you) at the following URLs:
http://wiki.dreamhost.com/index.php/Installing_PHP4
http://wiki.dreamhost.com/index.php/Installing_PHP5
If you have any further questions or difficulty, please let us know.
__________________________________________________________________________________
If you know how to do this Neil, I would love some help. Otherwise I am waiting to hear back from the few folks I know who are good at this sort of thing.

Most of that makes sense Matthew… I’ll have a crack at it tomorrow (late afternoon here now)…
Will let you know.
