Notes From the Vault any Episode, Onion Files Episode 9 - DL
Show more... ...Show less

Every episode seems to sit and do nothing during download. This continues for several minutes until I cancel the download. I tried getting the episodes directly from the Podiobooks site but media.podiobooks.com always gives a timeout.

Note that I did get the download for "You've caught up" for Notes From the Vault just fine.

Ha, finally just a question and not a problem!
Show more... ...Show less

Over the last few months, I've noticed that downloaded episodes have a really extended file name. For example from this mornings downloads:

PB-DoubleShare-11_nvb_20080713154002_nva_20080714154002_t_013fd1dc143a03dd4f710.mp3

Now, I've figured out that the "nvb" and "nva" portions seem to be date and time and the stuff after the "t" looks like a CRC hash of some kind.

My questions is why did this start appearing a few months ago and is there any way other than editing the file name to get rid of it. Long file names can be a PIA for some MP3 players and even computer systems?

Just curious,

-phil

P.S. "Double Share" is only used as an example as the system requires that I put in a product name.

I just released all episodes for "Crescent" and "The Failed Cities Monologues". The episodes show up in iTunes, but I was only able download 3 of them: 2 from Crescent, 1 from Monologues. The rest stop with (err = 500). I've tried resuming after 15 minutes, but the errors continue.

Running iTunes 7.6.1.9 without simultaneous downloading. I released all episodes on Podiobooks before I subscribed to the feed.

Broken javascript
Show more... ...Show less

Both Weaver's Web and Tamshi's Imp breaks the javascript to advertise the books we are subscribed to on our website. The javascript provided to users is: [script language="javascript" src="http://www.podiobooks.com/jspb/[username]" type="text/javascript"]

Putting the javascript on a page causes a javascript error, and the script will not load. The problem actually arises from the use of apostrophes in the name.

I'm not sure how podiobooks generates the script, but maybe placing an escape character or removing the apostrophe from the database may fix this problem.

Here's the error code from Internet Explorer for mine:
Line: 8
Char: 134
Error: Expected ")"
Code: 0
URL: [hidden]

This coincides with Tamshi's Imp

[Edited javascript to make it visible]

A new downloading problem
Show more... ...Show less

Episode 17 of Odd Jobs and episode 28 or Nocturnal are only downloading a few kbytes and then ending. The problem seems to be with the company handling your download server since when I go to download the episodes directly I get an error message from them.

You also might want to look at the link to this site on the Community page. It points to the wrong place (podioboks.getsatisfaction.com) and returns a 404 page.

The link for Chapter 38-39 in 65 Below appears to be broken, as it only links to a small audio fil with an intro and not the missing chapters

Well that was fast! The crew at Libsyn quickly identified the issue and pulled the offending code. Downloads should be happening normally.

If you find an error (and that could happend) please *do not* report it on this thread. Instead, start a new PROBLEM so that we can investigate each one individually. And be sure to put the book title and episode number in your title tag so that others with the same problem can easily find your report and just add to it.

Episodes not downloading March 12, 2008
Show more... ...Show less

Episodes not downloading? Some time last night, the links to all of our files went down. We're in the middle of an upgrade to Libsyn Pro, and something obviously went wrong.

Tech support has been notified, and I'm hoping for a resolution shortly. As soon as I hear it, I'll post something here. Or you should just notice your episodes start to download on your next refresh cycle.

And hey, I'm in the same boat. I have about 2 hours of driving ahead of me today and was looking forward to episodes from four books I'm listening to!

I've been trying to release all episodes of The Rookie, I actually only need episodes 4 and 5, because Itunes has the rest, but only episodes 1-3 appear for me through podiobooks! What can I do??

Even the feed only releases episodes 1-3. I've tried everything that the FAQs say and nothing is working. I've gone so far as to totally delete all the files from my computer and start over.

Make it easy to find the latest episodes
Show more... ...Show less

Having lots of episodes scattered is no fun. Here's a tip to keep them all organized -- no matter how many podcasts you listen to.

If you are using iTunes to manage your subscription (and a lot of you are), the secret sauce lies in the Smart Playlist options.

1. From the File menu, select "New Smart Playlist"
2. Match the following rule, where Grouping is Podiobooks.com. You'll need to change the default drop downs on the popup to those settings.
3. (Optional) If you only want to keep the most recent episode, click the "+" sign and add in Playcount is 0.
4. Tell it OK, and then look for the new folder in your list called "Podiobooks.com". To move it near the top of your playlists, edit the name and put an "@" symbol in front of the name.

Resync your iPod and navigate to Music > Playlists > @Podiobooks.com to see your most current (and unlistened to) episodes, all in one easy place! No more hunting through the Podcasts directory to find the latest episodes of your favorite book!
