I am wondering if there are any guys (or girls) out there who know how to make podcast audio files preload for say 5-6 seconds at the start so they don't get interrupted later on. I'd really appreciate your help! It's actually for my webdesigner. He uses asp and dreamweaver, if that has any relevance.
View RepliesI'm looking to build an ASP script that can pull in the XML for a podcast feed and display important information (podcast title, description, link, etc). For some reason, I have been unsuccessful in getting this to work, despite a number of tries.
Does anyone have experience doing this or any examples that they can refer me to? For some reason my scripts have been unable to read the enclosure tag, and to be honest, I don't have advanced knowledge of ASP - XML interaction to really know why.
I have been trying to create a "podcast" list of audio MP3 and WMA programs.
I am gathering that this technique is very similar if not identical to an
RSS feed.
I have seen how to create the xml file that contains the feed info and have
done and tested that, but what happens now?
Do I just inform I-Tunes and Yahoo etc. that this file is available and
where to find it? Then magic happens? Is that all there is to it?
The info I have located on the web about this technique pertains to Blogging
and while similar, it's a little different in how it's gets presented.
ALso perhaps more importantly, how can I also show the same list on my own
page? Do I have to write an identical HTML page or is there a shortcut that
will display the XML list on an HTML page?
And finally, to save me all the work, does anyone make a utility that can
take a folder full of ASX files and convert them to an XML list?
