Short update today
Today a short post, telling you what we are working on.
As you might have noticed, we have added the XML button so y'all can subscribe to the feed of BlackMylar Europe. Now, this feed was also intended to generate enclosure-tags when the podcast is published. That way, you can subscribe to the podcast and automatically get the latest podcast without manually have to look for it and download it.
To make the RSS feed, we use Feedburner. Feedburner says that whenever they find a link to a audio file in a post, they will ad the enclosure-tag in the feed. But for some reason, this is not working yet.
We think it has something to do with the server were the podcast file is uploaded to. So we are currently looking for a different server to upload the files to. We are now testing ourmedia.org, which provides
Ourmedia.org is open source.
Now this sounds cool, so we made an account and managed to upload the file. We hope that the generated link to the file will be good enough for feedburner to recognize it and generate those enclosure-tags we need. But in the process, we have been kicked out of ourmedia.org for several times. So we couldn't check if the file was uploaded correctly.
That was a slight disappointment. We thought we found a good service where you could upload all your media files and store them for free. But if the service is that unstable that you are kicked out every hour, then the fact that it's free isn't that big of an issue anymore. It then becomes a pain in the ass and we will be glad to pay $ 50,- for an account at audioblog.com.
Anyway, we'll give them one more change tomorrow. Ourmedia.org that is. If it's still not working properly, we'll move on.
Oh and by the way: we lied. It wasn't a short post after all....

"free storage and free bandwidth for your videos, audio files, photos, text or software. Forever. No catches."as they put it themselves.
