UL video feed BETA

We're trying to get the hang of the whole video thing for the podcast. Expect our 1-year anniversary show (in March) to have a big announcement about the expansion of our podcast empire. Until then, you can beta test the new feed! Click the link below and add the url to your favorite podcasting software. You must subscribe to this new test feed to receive any video.

I know it works with iPodder and NOT with iTunes, which will be a significant limitation since we expect this to be huge (yeah right). Anyway, you, the loyal listener can try it out for a couple weeks and let us know how it works with your preferred podcasting software. I will try to send random video clips through the pipe over the coming weeks before the official launch. Please note that this feed will include regular shows and test video only, and the new feed will have a different name when it eventually comes out.

Special thanks to the Girl on Tech for helping me get this rolling!

Thanks for staying subscribed!

  • Hey Regis - your RSS feed for the video section of the podcast seems to be pointing to the wrong place. It sent down an XML file instead of video (in iPodder).

    Also, I just left a quick thing for the UL promon on the drunk dial line, but I don't know how well it turned out because I did it through Skype. If it's no good lemmme know and I'll re-record it.

  • Okay, Aaron, iPodder did the same for me. I don't know what that it. You should get a new video of me selling a table. If you click on the "Subscriptions" tab, then "UL Video Feed", you should get 5 episodes. Shows 68, 69, and 70, plus two videos. The "Ul vidoe feed BETA" should have come through with the regular subscription feed.

    You need to subscribe to the new feed to receive downloads. click on the link posted here, and add that xml file into iPodder to subscribe to the video feed. That should work in iPodder with no worries.

  • Now you see, that's what's wrong with podcasting today. Not enough video of people selling tables :)

  • Ahh, that worked! Thanks Regis.

    So does this mean iPodder users can delete the old feed (I'm thinking that regular shows are going to be added into this new feed as well - or am I wrong?)?

    And by the way - I would've totally bought that table. Gotta love those Swedes...

  • Great! I'm glad this seems to be working for some. I will be renaming the video feed, so don't leave the old one just yet. Once again, the 1-year anniversary will see the official launch of the new feed. I will not be redirecting, so people will have to unsubscribe and re-subscribe. If we get our act together, there may be a new podcast altogether featuring video. Of course we're really lazy so...
