Podcast not playing in browser

Hello,

It seems I am not alone in this predicament.

Specs:

Server 10.7.2/XeonQuad2.8/8Gig RAM

My podcasts will show up in the podcast wiki list, but when clicked on, will not display video. Both Mac or PC, using Chrome. Firefox, Safari or IE9. On the Windows side it will display a QuickTime logo in the play window, on a Mac the play window is gray, waited for 5 minutes but doesn't load.

Interestingly enough the podcasts will play on the server itself, Firefox only not Safari, someone explain that one?...

I have successfully deployed a workflow (PodCast Composer) which is supposed to:

write to a folder
publish to the library
publish to a wiki

So far it does nothing but add it to the wiki.

I have used Podcast Capture and PodCast Publisher to publish podcasts. My user is the admin user and I have tried a non-admin user as well.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.2), Server

I have found an half solution :

The "solution" I have found is to authorize everybody to see podcasts ...

To do this go to:

- SERVER application

- PODCAST Service

- SETUP the only one option you have (Apple is zen !) to Everybody ...

Unhappy about this it schould have a better solution ... but it's working.

I am having the same issue. Podcasts are veiwable in the Podcasts section of the Wiki by the selected group in server.app (Anyone, Authorized Users, Podcast Owners) however they will only play via the browser if the "Anyone" group is selected in server.app. Even the Administrator account cannot access the play the contant in a web browser when anything other than the "Anyone" group is selected in server.app.

Another correlation I have noticed with this issue is that the rss feed will become disabled (exclimation point next to the heading) when access in server.app is set to anything other than "Anyone".

Frustrating as we would like to open the service up to be accessible remotely without the use of VPN but with sensitive content in our podcasts we cannot currently limit access to authorized users or groups.

Is this a misconfiguration problem or a bug? I know of many instituations and companies that depend heavily on the Podcast features of OS X server and this seems like a substantial problam.

Configuration:

Homgeneous environment with 10.7.4 Server with 10.7.4 clients

DNS and Open DIrectory hosted on the same hardware as the podcast server.
