Q: Some help validating my podcast
Hi all,
Our church podcasts the sunday sermons, and I'd like to submit it as an itunes podcast.
The feed link is http://stbarnabas.davidblowes.com/sermonpodcast
I'm getting the following error:
Can’t download episodes from your feed.
I don't know what's going on here, as other feed validators pick up the contents just fine... I'd appreciate your suggestions.
The podcast is generated by Joomla module called "Preachit"
Thanks!

The URL of your top media episode is
http://stbarnabas.davidblowes.com/images/media/Isaiah/Isaiah - Ep7 - JW - Isaiah 44 God vs Idols.mp3
You are not allowed spaces in a URL; when you present it like this iTunes sees the URL as ending at the first space and so obviously cannot access the file. The normal practice is to substitute an underscore for each space in both the filename and the URL in the feed.
The feed actually works, and plays the episode, when subscribing manually in iTunes, because the application evidently does what browsers d if you enter the URL - substitute the code %20 for each space - then server will accept that. The Store evidently does not make that accommodation.
