problem with uploading podcast to itunes store (different than the other question)

I keep trying to get my podcast submitted in using the method described here and getting the message "Couldn't locate hostname in your feed: webproxy-nk-11-ext"


My host is hipcast and it is obviously in my feed (hipcast.com)

iTunes store (podcast)-OTHER, Windows 7

I did get confirmation from Apple that the bug is fixed and submissions are working again.


If at this time you can not submit your new podcast feed - it is likely an issue with your feed.


Make sure:


1. You have at least one episode live on the feed


2. You have a 1,400 x 1,400 pixel image for your show - .jpg (RGB) or .png


3. You have verified your feed at feed validator - http://feedvalidator.org


4. You are not hosting your files at dropbox - but rather at a host that specifically supports byte-range requests - like libsyn.com


5. You do not have music from one of the 4 big record labels - No RIAA music is allowed on podcasts. Only Podsafe music is allowed - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podsafe



If you submit your RSS feed per the above and still get an error - start a new thread and include your RSS feed you are having issues with - do not continue on this thread.
