Adam Curry's Daily Source Code DSC-496-2006-11-14

i'm getting used to my ipod now, but i really do like my old iriver's interface, which works exactly as you describe in today's show...you plug it in, and drag and drop the stuff you want

simple

Flotsky,

Clicking on a channel brings up an edit box. Here you can change the logo, description, name and downloader preferred.
Selecting MashBoard brings up our player when you PlayChannel

Slecting iTunes will open and subscribe you to the feed in iTunes. Using Raw XML will open just that, with the appropriate link you seek

Also, see garage.podshow.com and howto.podshow.com, both heavily promoted on the homepage.

Hi Adam

Right, what I was trying to do was to get the individual feed URLs for shows in my collection, as the channels feeds are not working in iTunes. What I didn't realise was that the only place you could find the links for them now was on the page for each individual show. So for instance to subscribe to your show in iTunes via btpodcastshow.com, it is only on the page for say DSC493 that I am offered a link to a feed. Before, when you got the popup for a show on the My Collection page, all the feed links were accessible in that popup.

What is "broken" though is the news for the site. It should be telling me if anything has changed in terms of functionality for the site that I am used to, and also if I can expect any issues, such as some feeds not working. Makes it much less frustrating.

We had a few issues on our geo-ip switchover. Feeds seem to be updating again. The update frequency of feeds has been limited to once every 15 mins during this phase of testing/roll out.

Flotsky, can you be a bit more specific about the problems you are seeing? I am in the UK now and also being redirected to btpodshow.com, but am not having problems with feeds at this time.

What exactly did you loose? Why do you need urls?

For some reason the deed for the Daily Source Code seems to be stuck at (or rather reverted to after yesterday's maintenance) episode 493. Was working fine up until then as I have 494 and 495.

Definitely looks like something broke yesterday :(

Podcasting support is on the list; they just didn't have enough time to embed it. You might want to read this:

My channel feeds are still not 99% working; their update frequency is too low. I had to do the "Get it" thingy on this DSC to get it onto my channel feed, because it didn't get there automatically like it should.

(the lastest DSC was added to the feed manually using the "Get it" function)

mspoke: thanx !

naughty naughty boys! sucking on Adam's feeds! well, podshow is under reconstruction, so shit happens, but isn't it always?

Gah, Adam, what have you done? My itunes feeds of my collection are down, have been for over a week. I sign in today, and now I'm going via btpodshow.com, and all the functionality related to adding podcast feeds for shows I want to listen to, and lots of other stuff has just gone. I'm going to have to add each feed back into itunes on its own, and get shot off my channels. Never got warned, never got a chance to copy down the urls for my shows, am off to google now. Really feel let down. Couldn't even find a feed for your own show on the site. Crying shame.
