I'm trying to help my church setup a website with both their video and podcasts. The issue I am having is they already publish their videocasts and podcasts to itunes. I have implemented emfield to at least manually post the videos, but is there a way that I could pull from the RSS feed of the feeds so this doesn't have to be manually done everytime a video is added?

www.osjournal.net is where I am currently testing this out. The RSS feed at the bottom appears to work sometimes, other times it doesn't.

Any help is appreciated!!

Seth

I do my own podcast feeds by hand, just because that's how I started and haven't gotten around to automating with Drupal. So to import that feed into Drupal, I used the Leech module, although Leech has been discontinued. Its successor is Simplefeed, and I've had trouble getting that one to work properly, but it may do the job for you. I'm not sure how it handles attachments, though.

I have tried FeedAPI but I must be doing something wrong.

Matt I followed your video on Mustard Seed Media on how to embed videos, and that helped get it going. The other issue I have had has been getting the .xml feed to work. If I link to it, it seems to blow up in my face. I can run a curl on the server to download the actual file, but when I display the XML in an RSS feed it links back to my site or to my churchs site, not to the correct video.

I believe simple feed requires simplepie..do you have that installed? I think they have a link to that on their webpage.

Thanks again for your help!!

I figured it out. You have to use a combination of FeedAPI, FeedAPI mapping, and EMField.

OK, I'm trying to do this on a new Drupal site. Can you do a basic walkthrough what mapping settings to use? I have this:

Description of available mappers
This is a list of mappers available for the feed item content type for this feed.
(emvideo module)
Maps a link to a video to the Embedded Media Video CCK field. Use the original_url element for mapping to this field.
(node module)
Maps a feed element to the title, created date, published state or body of a node. Note that standard field mapping by FeedAPI still applies. For example if there is no feed element mapped to the node body you will still find the description in node body because that is how FeedAPI stores nodes.

Why do I not have an audio field, even though I have one set up? Do I just use the video, even though it's an audio podcast? I'd really like to make each sermon display as a separate node with the flash audio player.

(Eventually, I'm going to drop the original feed and just aggregate off the site via views & feedburner, so I'll have to figure that out when the time comes, but I'm not ready for that yet.)

OK, I found http://drupal.org/node/336985 which has the file needed for audio, but is there a way to have the emfield to use the flash player for these files?
