XMLRPC Enclosure Generation Plugin?

    I’m wanting to post via a third party blogging tool using xmlrpc.php in WordPress 1.5.2. If I link to an mp3 file in the post, I’d like for the enclosure to be automatically generated (as it would be if I posted from the web interface) but this is not happening.

    I was wondering if anyone knew of a plugin (similar to SimpleTags https://www.broobles.com/scripts/simpletags/ ) that I could use within the blogging tool to “force” WordPress to generate the enclosures from the xmlrpc.php?

    As a follow up to this – if I use my WordPress.com account and the third party blogging tool, the enclosure is generated if I put in a link to an external mp3 file.

    You can see what I mean here:

    So, I know that WordPress is capable of doing it – but is the .com version handling the enclosures in the xmlrpc.php differently than the WP 1.5.2 version?

    Would this work in WP 2.0.1?

    Mabye I’m the only one reading this but I thought I’d post an update. I just upgraded one of my blogs to WP 2.0.1 to see if the enclosures were automatically generated… they were not.

    So, there must me some extra bit or different code in the xmlrpc.php file for WP.com versus the standalone WP.org 2.0.1 version.

    Anyone with any insight?

    I just upgraded to 2.0.2 and the enclosures aren’t working yet (I know it wasn’t supposed to – but I thought I would update…)

    Right now, the only way to generate an enclosure on a WP.org install is to post from the WordPress Admin interface. However, WP.com accounts will generate the enclosure from the admin interface OR xmlrpc.php.

    There must be a way for this to be done on a WP.org install since the code should be fairly similar right. I’ve taken the xmlrpc.php file from the WP-MU install and tried it with a WP.org install and it still doesn’t work. So, for whatever reason, whatever is being called to generate the enclosure in WP.com is not being called in WP.org.

    I know someone out there must know the answer…

    use podpress
