   I love this open source, but does any one have issues with the podcasts not listing content? I have it added to the media library, published and set to be in a podcast, and it doesn't list :( Any help? http://www.webpagescreenshot.info/img/458415-411201194843PM

   This shouldn't happen. Are you sure you clicked the podcast that the episode should belong to? If so, are there any error messages in your logs? Also, which language are you using so we can test this.

   Hi Jeremy,
   Thank you for your reply. No, we don't get any error messages when adding the video to a podcast. We are testing the Polish Language version.

   Changing the language version didn't help, so I don't think its a language issue.
   One thing that just occured to me is that the podcast is taken from YouTube. After clicking publish I get the "waiting for encoding" status on the video. I don't understand...

   Jeremy,
   Ok - when I added the podcast directly linking to a mp4 file it displays ok - http://www.webpagescreenshot.info/img/797461-4122011115639AM
   But this won't work well for us, because we host our videos on Youtube - do we have to self host in order for podcasts to work?
   Thanks for your time.

   Ah this is why it's not publishing. You can't publish YouTube videos in a podcast. iTunes does not allow YouTube videos to be published within the iTunes store. You must publish a podcast using a video file (either uploading one, or linking). YouTube, Vimeo, and other social media sites do not produce files in the right formats to be accepted into iTunes.

   You will need to self-host the videos for your podcasts to work.

   Just to add to what Jeremy mentioned, it's possible to add both a YouTube link (for on your website) and an MP4 link (for iTunes/podcasts) for the same media item. This way you can let YouTube take care of most of the bandwidth costs, but still work with iTunes. You just have to tweak the player preferences in Admin > Settings > Players: reorder the YouTube player to be at the top of the list.

   I see. Thanks for making this clear, it makes sense now.
