Same bug hit me.

I lost all files (across multiple domains and multiple wordpress installs) after clicking auto-upgrade within a single WordPress blog.

Thankfully, my databases were spared.

Quick note, I’ve launched a WP-iPodCatter Plugin Forum on my site.

My apologies. Looks like I had mixed line encodings. I’ve converted them all to unix line encodings and re-updated the .zip file – should remedy that situation.

If you could replace line 467 in wp-ipodcatter.php with:
if (($oldDurCheck) || ($oldDurCheck == "")) {

and let me know if duplicate durations show up in the database, that’d be helpful.

Fair enough question – WP-iPodcatter adds the iTunes-specific tags and info to the WordPress RSS 2.0 feed.

Those of you having problem with the automatic duration detection, could you comment out lines 368-380 (the $getID3 stuff) and let me know if you’re able to
insert the duration manually from within the WordPress admin ‘Write’ tab?

Thanks.

For all of you having the duplicate itunes:duration problem – could you comment out line 379 and let me know if you still have the problem.

Thanks.

kstar,

A couple of questions:
1- What’s the URL of your site?
2- Are all the values spec’d for the iTunes tag info?

thanks.

The plugin changing the date is a new one. I suspect the Blogger to WordPress transition on that one. I run the audio files in the same directory as my WordPress install. You can specify in the plugin, where your audio file are on the same server and WP-iPodCatter should be able to automatically detect the duration.

cwachs – the easiest way to strip out all those blank records is through something like phpMyAdmin. I haven’t been able to get weddingcast to load either. I might recommend turning off all the activated plugins and see if that changes performance.

pibby, interesting. If you turn off wp-ipodcatter, does blog-by-email work?

garybibb, the ‘undefined channel element’ is a known issue betwen the iTunes spec and FeedValidators implementation of it (i.e. no worries on that one).

For the itunes:duration tag, check if the duration field in the post’s edit form has a value in it – if not, try entering one in manually.

For the itunes:summary – try writing less ?? – but seriously. The values for itunes:summary are pulled from the post’s description. Looks like I need to add a limit on that within the plugin.

garybibb, I ran your feed through feedvalidator.org and received the following:
fatal error: return_itunes_dur(): Failed opening required ‘getid3/getid3.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/local/lib/php’)

WP-iPodCatter is looking for the getid3 directory in the plugins directory. Upload it (it’s included in the wp-ipodcatter.zip) and the feed should be valid.

Correct, the feed wouldn’t parse with the plugin turned off. With the plugin turned off, the tags written by the plugin would be omitted, making an invalid feed. There’s nothing that I know of preventing you from using Feedburner’s smartcast & wp-ipodcatter together. If anything, they work together making sure all the bases are covered.
