Can’t download episodes from your feed

Hi,


I have been looking into this for a day now. So I have accepted I need help to work this one out.


I though I had everything ready to upload my podcast to iTunes. However I am getting the following messages.


- 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.


Thing is I have checked the site with podcasting two validation sites and they say its all ok...


My feed is - http://feeds.feedburner.com/MikesOpenJournalPodcast

I am using blogger and feed burner - mikesopenjournalpodcast.blogspot.com


Any help would be great thanks


Mike

This is not a podcast feed, I'm afraid. You have no 'enclosure' tags containing the URLs of your media files, as required by iTunes. You have a reference in the 'Description' tag (which itunes does not read) to a Google Drive URL which is a web page with an embedded player - this won't work. You must provide a direct link to the media file, and if you enter the URL in a browser it must play directly in a browser and not download or appear in an embedded player. And you need to find another server to host your media files - Google Drive has caused nothing but trouble and I'm not sure anyone has got it to work for podcasting.


As to the image, the URL in your 'itunes:image' tag leads to an image which is 320 x 320 px so as you can see it doesn't fulfil the requirements.


You may find it helpful to read my 'get you started' page on podcasting: http://wilmut.uk/pc - I'm afraid at the moment what you have is completely unviable.
