Feb 10, 2016 1:44 PM in response to Frank Marascoby Roger Wilmut1,★HelpfulYou have no 'enclosure' tags containing the URLs of your media files as required by iTunes. The media files are referenced in the 'description' tag but iTunes does not read them from there. You have created your feed in Tumblr, and it's possible that it has failed to create the 'enclosure' tags because the media file URLs (which are hosted on Amazon) begin with https (encrypted connection) rather than http. The files will still play if you change https to http, and it's that version of the URLs you should submit to Tumblr and see if it solves the problem.

Feb 10, 2016 1:44 PM in response to Lastpariahby Roger Wilmut1,★HelpfulThe URL of your top episode's media file is
http://www.parvizshahbazi.com/Audio/589_Webaudio.m4a
However there is no file at that address. I checked a couple of others, and they are OK.

Feb 10, 2016 2:09 PM in response to ShakeZillaTVby Roger Wilmut1,As I'm sure Robert will tell you (but for the benefit of anyone else reading this), your media file type is .sesx. This is an Adobe Audition session file and only Adobe Audition can open it. The allowable media types are .mp3, .m4a, .m4v, .mov or .mp4 file (and not Windows Media, RealMedia or Flash).

Feb 25, 2016 10:11 PM in response to Frank Marascoby sonadpod,I'm having the same issues and it seems like there is no end to simply getting it onto iTunes. Feed Validator says everything looks good http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeeds.feedburner.com%2FSonad Pod
But iTunes disagrees.
Can’t download episodes from your feed.
Podcast artwork must be between 1400 x 1400 and 3000 x 3000 pixels, JPG or PNG, in RGB color space, and hosted on a server that allows HTTP head requests.
My image is from photobucket and is the correct direct link jpeg 1500x1500
My feed Podcast – Sonad Podcast
I need help on where to begin and what to fix, as it seems no matter what I do nothing seems to work.
Any help would be great.
Thanks,
Aaron

Feb 26, 2016 12:30 AM in response to sonadpodby Roger Wilmut1,When you have a question it's better to start your own thread rather than tacking onto an old one.
Your image URL is http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h300/Scarfacekiller/SonaDpic_1.jpg
This redirects to http://s67.photobucket.com/user/Scarfacekiller/media/SonaDpic_1.jpg.html which is a web page containing your image. All the URLs in the column on the right lead to this page. You need to provide a direct link to the image, and it looks as if Photobucket is not allowing you to do this. We've seen this problem before, and you may need to host your image elsewhere.
As to the episodes, you have no 'enclosure' tags containing tha URLs of your media files, as required by iTunes. Indeed I don't see a references to any media files in the feed. Evidently you're not doing something you need to do in Wordpress - I can't advise on that but you may find this Help page useful:

Apr 5, 2016 7:37 AM in response to Frank Marascoby wujeklew,I also have similar problem. my feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/PodcastPrzystanekPlanszowka
I think that enclosure tag is ok.
Can somebody help me?

Apr 5, 2016 7:46 AM in response to wujeklewby Roger Wilmut1,Everything appears to be OK - the feed can be subscribed to in iTunes. However Feedvalidator complains that the media file URLs are not valid. They work OK in a browser, so the only thing I can think of is the diacritical in 'Planszówka' - I should try removing that and going for a basic 'o' - no-one sees the file URLs anyway.
When you have a question it's better to start your own thread than tack onto a months-old one.

Good to hear is is solved!
To help others who may have the issue, be sure to not include international characters in the filename or URL, such as "ó".
Here is the text from the Apple help site, noting that only acsii filenames and URLs should be used:
from Apple's Podcast Connect help site:
"Use only ASCII filenames and URLs that include a-z, A-Z, 0-9. For more information, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percent-encoding."
