My contributions are as follows, and subject to change:

I will be providing dropbox links for any videos I do. Although as of late I have been short on content (ROM rundowns got tired after a little while) I have a few videos recorded.

Excellent, once you've PM'd me the 1st link, if you name the files to the YouTube id's [i.e. sO9NSfbi9MI.mp4], I can get the Podcast app to just look for any new files automatically in the same folder as and when you have them.

That is probably the easiest way. Once that is running smoothly, we can probably move the podcast file to a common area and then any of us can update it using the app.

Anyway, will look forward to your new videos too!

Ok, the podcast is 5 videos behind, so I shall aim to grab the videos off youtube tonight and update.

Might start look into enabling the audio podcast too.

meltwater · May 4, 2011

Ok, all the latest videos uploaded last night.

That was until Chad posted his!!!! #@~###

Anyway, once I had all the videos in place, update took about 30 seconds...

meltwater · May 10, 2011

I'm away until the end of May so updates will return when I get back.

XdaTV Podcast - http://feeds.feedburner.com/XdaTv

XdaTV Audio Podcast - http://feeds.feedburner.com/XdaTvAudio

We now have an audio version of the podcast!

The audio podcast has mp3 links for all the videos from 1st May on-wards, I shall gradually add the missing ones as and when I get time to do so.

Alternatively if you are willing to do this, then let me know and I'll send you the info to do it - 29 files are needed, so should take an hour to do.

Please spread the Podcast links far and wide! The louder the voice Xda has, the more notice manufacturers will take of the development community.

Got a PM after the last show begging for captions for viewers who can't hear the video for one reason or another. Any way that I can send you transcripts that post with the video?

Humm, I've not done anything with subtitles before, I guess they have to be time coded to sync them.
Also not sure what files, (idx/sub perhaps), work with the mp4 files. Also I don't know if the podcast format will support downloading of a subtitle file along with the subtitle file...

I guess if they just want a transcript, I can easily put a link for them to download/open up from the item details at least. Would that be any use?

I can get the podcast updater app to check for the file and add it just like the video/audio. If you want to save sending them I can get the app to check in a specified dropbox public folder of your choosing and then add the link to the notes if present.

azrienoch · Jul 4, 2011

Oh no, the person was asking for subtitles. That's a lot of work. No, I just mean posting the transcript with the video in the rss feed. I have the transcripts on google documents and I can share them with you.

azrienoch · Jul 4, 2011

OH WAIT. Just discovered something FRIGGIN' COOL on YouTube. Apparently you can upload a transcript to youtube in either English or Japanese and it'll do what it can to sync the words. Gotta get svetius to try this.

OK no problem, let me know if I need to do anything to support it, quite happy to add anything to the podcast as long as I can automate it (otherwise I know I'll not update often enough).

Shall look forward to seeing!

Made a new thread about it in XDATV, Closed Captions.

Problem for the podcast.... appears it is a victim of it's own success...

Drop box have informed me that the bandwidth usage is too high and have suspended the account temporarily.

Therefore we need a better hosting solution...

Stats are:
16,838 views of 66 items

Chances are without a new hosting solution I'll have to shut it down.

azrienoch · Aug 9, 2011

If we can't host on xda we'll figure something out. Anyone have ideas just in case?

Right!
The latest stats from feedburner sheds some light on why the bandwidth was so high!

46,818 views of 66 items

Ideas welcome for hosting, and I'm sure that the host details can be added to the podcast details as a reward. Wondering if getting in with Revision3 could be possible.

Something makes me think it's been noticed somewhere.

azrienoch · Aug 10, 2011

Have you seen nathanpc's unofficial xda tv app? I think it pulls from the dropbox. Actually makes a good complement, if you ask me. If that's true, you could ask him to stop, but he'd be faced with the same dilemma. It's up to you, but I think it is much better to work with him for solutions.

OH is that where he's been getting it from? IF that's the case then some kind of asking before hand would have been welcome. I'll look into it in any case.

I'd not been following the thread, but yes after totalling the bandwidth I believe he's moved it to his own space on Rackspace. Should mean the podcast will be unaffected now.

azrienoch · Aug 10, 2011

Awesome, I love it when things work out by themselves.

Yep NathanPC is happy to work with me to keep the podcast running. In return I'll see what I can do to help him with his app... Hopefully win-win.

The podcast should now keep pace with the XdaTv app and therefore better with the youtube releases (rather than me finding time in the evenings to do the download/uploading etc). Will see if we can bring the audio one up to date and perhaps expand the XdaTv app features (this would be a good place to make use of the CC option if it works).

[XDATV] - PODCAST Thread (+MP3 Audio Podcast!)

Would you like XdaTv to be available as a podcast?

Yes, I'd be more likely to watch it

Yes, YouTube is fine but podcast option would also be good

No, YouTube is fine we don't need a podcast too

I don't know what a podcast is.

No, I don't like XdaTv so a podcast won't make any difference
