Wed, 10 Mar 2010 20:07:46 +0100

I am unable to get any functioning links from the PP2's library web interface in Internet Explorer on a PC. Seems fine with Firefox. Anyone have this working in IE? Thanks

Podcast Library :: Re: FTP files to another server changes the video file name

Tue, 09 Mar 2010 21:57:04 +0100

By: Marcel+Borsten

The workflow you make with Podcast Composer makes an ftp publish task and sets the value for the argument '--destination_basename' like this:

--destination_basename=$$Title$$-<task generated uuid>-$$Recording UUID$$

I guess they want to make sure you don't overwrite files. You can change the value for the argument to suit your needs (like: $$Title$$)

Good luck.

Podcast Library :: FTP files to another server changes the video file name

Tue, 09 Mar 2010 16:59:16 +0100

We are setting up a web media server to serve out our videos from Podcast Producer. The ftp is working fine but the name of the video is being changed to another UUID number. Why is this happening and is there a way to make sure the original name is used?

Podcast Producer :: Re: Task "groupblog"state changed to failed

When a Podcast Producer task fails, all stderr and stdout gets dumped into a file in /Library/Logs/pcastserverd/DiagnosticReports. Maybe these files give you a better insight into why the task is failing. You could post pasts of those files here, so we can help looking for the problem.

This part in your log looks like a problem:

Mar 9 14:36:52 ssmacmini setup_pcastserverd_library[131]: can't find user for podcastxgrid_FC644997-158B-4B24-AEA4-F2D53A765853

Are you able to authenticate against your Open Directory, like with diradmin or other users you might have set up? You could try making a new pcastxgrid user and enter those new credentials in Server Admin > Podcast Producer > Settings.

Podcast Producer :: Re: Dual screen podcast

Tue, 09 Mar 2010 10:24:22 +0100

By: Marcel+Borsten

Hello back!

If you bind two computers (maybe Mac minis) to the server you can connect one video input to each of them. The epiphan converters work as a Quicktime input device, so you can select them as default video input in Podcast Capture. Now you can start a remote dual recording by selecting the two remote cameras.

Podcast Producer :: Dual screen podcast

Tue, 09 Mar 2010 08:55:30 +0100

By: thorleif

Hi there,

Is there any way to make dual screen podcasts where one source is some computerscreen, typically a professor lecturing, and the other source is video from a video mixer, HD-SDI, but can be converted into firewire. I've looked at the epiphan-boxes, but I'm not sure how the setup will be. Anyone care to enlighten me? :)

By: Vincent+Putelli

does anyone could tell me why I am unable to produce and create podcast ? I have copied and pasted Xgrid log and Podcast log.

This is so frustrating, hour & hours of troubleshooting...

Thanks for your time if you can help a bit greatly appreciated

Podcast Producer :: Task "groupblog"state changed to failed

Mon, 08 Mar 2010 23:28:43 +0100

By: haytaymommy

I don't know what I am doing wrong... the workflow changes to failed at the groupblog task...I sign in as pcastadmin to send podcast to PCP Server. Pcastadmin is administrator of web blog and it is set to allow posting from anyone. I have DNS working fine, I use open directory as well. I can see the podcasts if I go to the podcast page on the webserver - they just never post automaticaly to the blog....

Podcast Library :: Re: Deleting videos from library

Mon, 08 Mar 2010 17:24:27 +0100

By: poddytoddy

Hello podders,

I have tried these steps exactly-including logging in to the server as "root" first then resyncing the library but my "referenced" podcasts are still there. I even emptied the cache in Safari but the library still contains references to the podcasts that I've deleted. Grrrrrr....
Anyone else having this problem. Perhaps it has something to do with X-Grid?
Thanks
