Difficulty podcasting in Drupal

Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.

Looks like there is not yet a working module for setting up a podcast feed in Drupal 7.

I created a Drupal 6 installation in a subdirectory of my Drupal 7 site, and tried iTunes and filefield podcast on it. It proved very frustrating. Both worked once to create a feed which lacked description, and failed to display the ID3 information (though the output of the modules was different). Then I switched between the two modules a couple of times, deleted and recreated podcast page, repeated file upload, and the feed was empty and would not populate.

My solution was to install podcastgen from sourceforge on the server, and embed the podcastgen page in the Drupal page. podcastgen is great.

any other options?

Hi John B,

Have you found any further options on getting podcast feeds working in D7? Unfortunately, podcastgen only allows one feed per install, and I've got multiple feeds I'm trying to administer.

I'm currently playing around

I'm currently playing around with this. Using the RSS Field Formatters module (http://drupal.org/project/rss_field_formatters) I've created a basic RSS feed using a Views Feed Views. I'm going to use feedburner to create an iTunes compatible feed out of that.

How is it working for you?

For whatever reason I never got the note you'd responded a coupke of months ago. How has your option been working for you? How is feedburner figuring out which iTunes tags to use?

I'm surprised the iTunes module has never been updated for D7. Seems to me it'd be a no brainer.

I can't seem to find the right solution

I have scanned the internet but have found no viable solution to podcasting using drupal 7!

Should be able to setup views to spit out a custom feed. I wish I knew more about module development. I was going to just pipe everything through feedburner, but I am still missing the image tag to make the feed that I want.

Anyone know of a good solution for podcasting with drupal 7?

There is some code in a sandbox that looks like it is working well.

Nice...I'll have to give that
