Title: Episode 446? Problems....
Post by: Yog on November 25, 2015, 01:38:59 AM
Friends,

I can't download episode 446 on iTunes.  In fact, it says DownRange Radio cannot be found on the server. 

Is anyone else having this problem?  Any solutions? 

Thanks! 

Yog

We're looking into this. So far, we haven't been to able to replicate the problem. It plays fine on my iPhone App and on iTunes:

Note also that we had to change rss feed for the podcast, so some apps might not be updated.

The new feed address is: http://www.downrange.tv/blog/category/down-range-radio/feed/

I'm starting to understand a tiny, little bit....

When I go to my existing DRR podcast chapter (on my computer) and hit the refresh button, I get the exclamation point and it says "could not be found on server". 

But, when I go to iTunes, find DRR, and then hit the "get" button, it will download onto my computer.  However, it starts a new "chapter" of DRR.  So, I was able to download the newest episode. 

I hope this makes sense. 

Thanks for your help and attention. 

Sincerely,

Yog

A change in feed is the cause of this. I've learned it takes some time to get feeds updated on different apps. Sorry for the inconvenience, but iTunes informed us that our old feed needed to be updated, so we had no choice but to get a brand new system.

Marshal,

Thanks for the quick responses and your attention. 

Does this mean that new episodes of DRR will download into the new podcast "chapter"?

To be honest with you, iTunes can be very confusing. On mine, it downloaded on the "old" chapter, so as of now, I cannot give you a good answer. We'll keep an eye on it.

Yes, it is very confusing and frustrating. 

Thanks for your help and I'll consider this "closed". 

Sincerely,

Yog

Yeah, this was confusing and frustrating.  This thread sort of explains why nothing had posted to Itunes in a couple of weeks.  I resubscribed to the new feed and hope the new episodes will start coming through automatically again.  I download to Itunes on a windows7 computer, then transfer to an mp3 player along with the other podcasts I want to listen to for the day.  That way I program my listening ahead of time and don't have to screw around with a podcast app while I am driving.

Maybe a blog post on the front page to make people aware they might need to change?

I found that I had to go to the Itunes store again and subscribe to the podcast again. Not it says "No Title" where the Podcast name goes. I have missed the last 3 weeks of it thinking he was on vacation or something.

The no title will be fixed.

Me too, missed a couple weeks as my iPad did not recognize the new downloads and I had not marked them for installation on the iPad. Apple seriously sucks sometimes. No, wait, all of the time!

Also, I understand MB is in pain, pushing himself, probably taking some of the wonderful meds I took after my knee surgery, but holy crap - the attack in "San Clemente"? San Bernadino, IIRC. A truly minor glitch, but still I cringed each time he said it. It is an otherwise excellent and to-the-point podcast and I would have loved to share it with others, but that mis-statement alone prevents me from doing that. Sad.
