for some reason, last weeks podcast isn't available:
The URL "http://www.wunh.org/mp3/2006-02-20.mp3" could not be found on the server.
any idea why?
:nuke:
[Feb 27,2006 9:22am - the_reverend ""]
gd... I can't believe I didn't notice that yet this week.
damn it.
[Feb 27,2006 10:12am - the_reverend ""]
I'm going to write a script to do this for me from now on.
[Feb 27,2006 12:02pm - DreamingInExile ""]
One more thing...
on RTTP Mobile, I keep getting a 413 error on my phone. any ideas on the cause or a possible solution?
Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't
[Feb 27,2006 12:10pm - the_reverend ""]
hm... not sure. rttp mobile I gues isn't WAP compliant.
I'm working on that.
[Feb 27,2006 12:14pm - DreamingInExile ""]
if it helps, I've got a RAZR v3 for a phone now. maybe set up the text version to generate WML, and have all WML files parse as PHP.
also, when are we going to get RTTP Syndication via RSS? :-P
[Feb 27,2006 12:17pm - the_reverend ""]
there already is...
[Feb 27,2006 12:17pm - the_reverend ""]
an I just looked, convertion to WML is a minor change.
[Feb 27,2006 12:20pm - the_reverend ""]
well.. it's still broken that why i didn't say anything about it:
http://www.returntothepit.com/news.xml
[Feb 27,2006 12:24pm - DreamingInExile ""]
get rid of the "news - " at the beginning of the file for starters.
I have an RSS feed for the shroud site (yeah, I was bored at work one day)
http://www.shroud-of-bereavement.com/feed.xml
so if you want a hand with RTTP's RSS feed, I'd be more then happy to give you a hand
[Feb 27,2006 12:31pm - the_reverend ""]
thank you for the offer, but I do everything myself. I had the code written correctly and then broke it trying to get the xml for itunes to work.
[Feb 27,2006 12:32pm - the_reverend ""]
also, you would have to have access to my databases to get it working and aint nobody touching those.
[Feb 27,2006 12:54pm - DreamingInExile ""]
the_reverend said:also, you would have to have access to my databases to get it working and aint nobody touching those.
understandable about db access, I'm the same way. it's actually probably an easy fix anyways.
just look at the first couple of lines, you have "news - " before you start the XML document. (if you go to view source code) it's probably misplaced text or something.
good luck with the fix, and let us know when it's working again
[Feb 27,2006 12:57pm - the_reverend ""]
as I said, it was working and then I broke it getting itunes to work... which itunes still refuses to put in there db for no reason.
[Feb 27,2006 1:03pm - DreamingInExile ""]
oh! now here's an idea... parse XML feeds from bands to update their news page...
not sure how many bands actually use an XML Feed, or have the resources to set one up, but it could be a cool feature...
[Feb 27,2006 1:29pm - the_reverend ""]
duh, I've already developed that too. but it doesn't need to be xml. I have to deploy it though which is what I haven't done yet.
[Feb 27,2006 1:43pm - DreamingInExile ""]
haha, always one step ahead of the rest of the board g33ks...
well, use shroud's XML feed to test it if you need a bands XML feed!
[Feb 27,2006 1:53pm - the_reverend ""]
I have about 30 places that I'm already pulling from. I wrote it over a year ago. now, I just need to put it in a java thread with a front end webpage and deploy it... just never got the time. there was actually someone trying to contract me to write it for them.
[Feb 28,2006 9:48am - the_reverend ""]
I found the issue:
http://www.returntothepit.com/news.xml
looks like non-ascii characters are making it puke so I had to do this:
return str_replace(array("+","%3A","%2F","%27","%2C","%26","%28","%29","%21","%2B","%92","%3F","%96"),
array(" ","/" ,":" ,"'" ,"," ,"and" ,"(" ,")" ,"!" ,"+" ,"'" ,"?","\n"),urlencode($text));
I just have to figure out the other "special characters" to convert back.
[Feb 28,2006 9:52am - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""]
what the fuck is a podcast? I can't figure this out. Is it just like an mp3? or a streaming mp3? wha...
[Feb 28,2006 9:56am - the_reverend ""]
it's an mp3 that automatically downloads to your mp3 player, computer, or whatever each time the mp3/audio file is updated
[Feb 28,2006 9:57am - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""]
oh that's kinda neat
[Feb 28,2006 9:59am - the_reverend ""]
it uses something like this:
http://www.returntothepit.com/itunes.xml
to know when the content has been updated.
[Feb 28,2006 10:03am - the_reverend ""]
oh and I got this working too
http://www.returntothepit.com/view.xml
that's the forum in RSS 2.0 form.
[Feb 28,2006 10:46am - DreamingInExile ""]
one of the stipulations of a "well formed" RSS feed, is it only has the 15 most recent entries (at most)
[Feb 28,2006 11:01am - the_reverend ""]
good point. this was just proof in concept.
you know, I have to show that I'm 10 paces ahead of you.
btw, does this work for you
http://www.wunh.org/rss/polkaparty.xml.php
can you try to podcast that?
[Feb 28,2006 12:57pm - DreamingInExile ""]
yes, that podcast works
[Feb 28,2006 12:58pm - the_reverend ""]
well, are you having a polka party?
[Feb 28,2006 1:09pm - DreamingInExile ""]
HAHA, of course!
[Feb 28,2006 1:29pm - the_reverend ""]
that guys plans out his show.
it takes him 5-6 hours to write it each week.
but in 2 hours he raises over 1/3 of our revenue.
[Feb 28,2006 3:49pm - DreamingInExile ""]
wow, I don't know if I should be scared because that many people listen to polka... or if I should be impressed because he can generate that kind of revenue
[Feb 28,2006 4:09pm - the_reverend ""]
the show is awesome.
listen to it.
[Mar 1,2006 1:13pm - Nate ""]
I just got an Ipod, how do I put a podcast on it? I wanna add the RTTP one's each week to hear em...
[Mar 1,2006 2:44pm - the_reverend ""]
I will get you directions soon.
[Mar 2,2006 10:26am - DreamingInExile ""]
Hey Aaron, the forum RSS feed dosen't work properly, you forgot an i. for example:
http://www.returntothepit.com/view.php?formd=27131
is what the link in the RSS feed is, but it should actually be this:
http://www.returntothepit.com/view.php?formid=27131
(you forgot the i in formid, so the link just brings you to the forum, not to the specific post)
Just FYI
[Mar 2,2006 10:29am - the_reverend ""]
yep, I already fixed it, I just didn't upload it yet.
[Mar 2,2006 12:03pm - DreamingInExile ""]
well aren't you just special :-P
