Podcast cover art must be at least 1400 X 1400 pixel JPG or PNG, in RGB color space, and hosted on a server that allows HTTP head requests.

Hi,

I"m trying to submit a podcast that I uploaded on to Podomatic and keep getting the error above.

I have changed the image on the podcast and on my Podomatic profile to be 1400 x 1400 pxl RGB but it's still not working.

I'd be grateful for ideas/assistance!!

Here is the podcast URL: http://ammado.podomatic.com

and the RSS feed: http://ammado.podomatic.com/rss2.xml

Thanks!

The image which matters is the one in the 'itunes:image' tag in the top section of the feed, between the 'channel' tag and the first 'item' tag. The URL of the image thus referenced is

http://ammado.podomatic.com/images/default/podcast-1-600.png

This image is 600 x 600 px which is why it's being rejected. You have an image within the 'itunes:image' tag within your episode's 'item' tag, and this image is 1400 x 1400 px and would be suitable. The image thus referenced appears only in a very small version in the Search results where that returns individual episodes.

Evidently you didn't see my request above that it's better to start you own thread - when you have a further question it's preferable if you can do this.

Your image URL is http://i1.sndcdn.com/avatars-000147334540-d3tp6i-original.png

This is 1006 x 1005 px and so less than the minimum requirement of 1400 x 1400 px as specified in the error message you presumably received.

Hi Roger, I was wondering if you can help me out.

http://lilee.podbean.com/feed/

That is my feed for my podcast and I dont know how to change the image to from 144px to 1400px can you please help me out and show me how to change my xml file into the right format

The image at http://imglogo.podbean.com/image-logo/779000/MuSiXLogo.jpg is perfectly OK - 1400 x 1400 and not too large a file size. Are you actually getting the error? Or are you just assuming that the bit in the feed which mentions 144 px is the problem? It's irrelevant and you can ignore it.

If you are still having a problem please start your own thread, because I've repeatedly asked people not to keep tacking onto this one and I'm not going to answer any more questions in it.

Please note that I've repeatedly asked people to start their own threads rather than tacking onto this one - it just causes confusion - and I am not going to answer any more questions in this thread and have stopped following it.
