Thank you so very much for the development of this plugin! It is fantastic!

I just launched this site for a local church, and we are using your plugin here: http://epcnewark.org/worship/l…..en-online/

I setup the podcast feed and submitted it to iTunes. That worked great.

However, I'm unable to find how to upload the "cover art" image and a description for the podcast. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I had to edit the podcast.php file.

Add the following tag under the itunes:author tag in that file:

<itunes:image href="http://www.yourdomain.com/your…..&quot; />

A bit late for my answer, but in case anyone else was having problems like I was I wanted to state something here. There were a few Descriptions that were filled in correctly, and a couple that just had a html image reference. I wasn't quite sure why that was, but it dawned on me that I didn't fill out the description area of the SermonBrowser for those two entries. Easy enough to go back and fix. Besides the title I like to have a short description added to give subscribers a little more information about the individual podcast.

The image can be done by the suggestion above, or I use FeedBurner and the SmartCast option lets you add a photo (600x600) to the feed. I'm not sure if that works for the feed or each podcast the feed grabs, but I also attach the image to the mp3 itself using a fee program called mp3tag.

Hope that helps someone.

Hey, I'm having a real problem with this…. perhaps you can help. Here's what my podcast.php looks like with the link:

 

<title><?php echo sb_xml_entity_encode(get_bloginfo('name')) ?> Podcast</title>
<itunes:author></itunes:author>
<itunes:image href="http://www.myveritas.org/wp-content/uploads/sermons/images/veritas-podcast-art.jpg"/>
<description><?php echo sb_xml_entity_encode(get_bloginfo('description')) ?></description>

 

I'm updating the site via FTP, updating the podcast in iTunes, adding the artwork to individual messages and the artwork is still not showing up. Any thoughts?

 

Thanks.
