Hey all,
I've been working on this site dealing with
Podcasts, something I haven't worked on before,
but I am slowing getting the feel for how this works.
One of the first bugs I needed to deal with was
the fact that probably 40% of the podcasts put in
the in the database and then streamed through the
flash player did not work.
What I found was that the actual sound file,
typically mp3, would reside in one of three of the
XML fields: guid, link or enclosure.
Once I interrogated all three fields for the
actual sound file and placed that in the variable
for the player they all worked.
1) Is this a viable solution to this problem?
2) Would it be proper to examine these fields for
any XML file given to the parser, and if no valid
sound file is found (taking into consideration the
many valid sound formats) to tell the user it is
not a valid podcast?
Newbie to podcasts... must drink carbonated
beverage to refresh... tired... brain.
