   hello all, and a merry Christmas fellow vloggers.

   firstly, thanks....Thanks for the great job you all do getting us
   videoblogging and making what can be difficult and time consuming a
   much easier and more enjoyable process.
   But I've got feed trouble and I need your help. My itunes dropped off
   when I shifted to wordpress from typepad and I've been struggling with
   my feed ever since. I've tried linking the QT files in the vpip feed
   admin box into my feedburner page (as follows.
   http://www.dannyscontentment.net/wp-content/plugins/vPIP/vPIPFeed.php...)
   and it's finding none of the external blip tv files;
   I'm getting this from pod medic;
   Content Item: "Good news, but is my power renewable?"
   * This item had no links to outside content. No enclosure
   generation was attempted.
   I'm getting the following from feed validator;
   This feed does not validate.
   line 11, column 1114: channel contains more than one
   feedburner:browserFriendly (38 occurrences) [help]
   ... d fair use.</
   feedburner:browserFriendly><feedburner:browserFriendly>This ...
   I'm stuck. It's probably something simple and I'm no coder, but I'm
   stuck!
   Thanks everyone,

   There are a couple of tuturials that you might want to try

   http://showinabox.tv/2007/12/20/feed-your-feeds-they-are-hungry/

   Were you using feedburner before? when you were on typepad?

   the other one is this

   These should help....I hope

   Thanks for coming back to me Heath. I've followed Ryans instructions - the second link is beyond me unfortunately. I've copied the link in as follows into my feedburner original feed address;

   http://www.dannyscontentment.net/wp-content/plugins/vPIP/vPIPFeed.php?blogURL=http://www.dannyscontentment.net&media=vs-title%3A+QuickTime

   But I'm not seeing any of the video in the feed, and it's not updating on itunes although it says that the address is correct. I was on typepad and feedburner before (following freevlogs instructions) with the same feedburner address and since I have shifted over to WP a few months back I seem to be having problems!

   Try just putting in your main site as the feed for feedburner, the http://www.dannyscontentment.net

   that might work better

   I've tried putting http://www.dannyscontentment.net in as the original feed but feedburner wont accept it as a valid xml source. I've also tried putting the original vpip feed address back in

   http://www.dannyscontentment.net/wp-content/plugins/vPIP/vPIPFeed.php?blogURL=http://www.dannyscontentment.net&media=vs-title%3A+QuickTime

   and got this when I tried to view it;

   'This view is not available due to a problem retrieving and parsing your original source feed.

   You may reload this page in your browser to see if the problem goes away. For details on what might be wrong with your feed, including FeedMedic alerts that reports specific trouble messages, visit Troubleshootize.'

   Perhaps you meant that I should place the http://www.dannyscontentment.net into itunes and I misunderstood.

   Thanks for your patience Heath... Happy New Year....aargh!

   Going to ask a silly question, but when you tried to burn your main feed in feedburner, did you check the little box that said "I am a podcaster"? Just want to make sure.

   If you did, then I am not sure what the issue is, I know for some the Vpip feed thingy...(sorry to get technical on you :-) does not work...

   hopefully we can figure it out....

   I've taken a look at your feed on http://www.dannyscontentment.net/ it looks like it's being redirected through feedburner so it seems like you got feedburner to recognize it.

   On the other hand, I didn't notice any media (video) content. One thing that stood out as an issue (a shot in the dark): You are using summaries for your post content. Have you configured WP to only show summaries in your RSS feed? If so, then this might be your problem. When you enable summaries, then your content is cut-off and possibly the part that gets cut-off could be where the media is located.

   Try disabling summaries to see if this is an issue. Also make sure summaries are disabled in FeedBurner too. If everything is working then great! If things still don't work then at least you can eliminate this as an issue.

   If you get it working but you really need summaries then let WP show the full post and go into FeedBurner and let FeedBurner configure the summaries. That might work better.

   Hi heath, Yes I ticked that podcaster box ( i think - it was way back in 2005 when I started out with typepad.. is there a way I can double check it now?)

   Hi Michael. Tried switching off summaries in WP. Still no luck and now my feed wont validate. I'll post on the vpip forums too to see if I can get any luck there.

   Its working! Thanks everyone. That's brill. It was my feedburner plug in being activated..
   I've continued the conversation over at the vpip group as I have questions about moving feeds from typepad etc (I've been following you guys since 2005, and those early freevlog days)
   THANKS AGAIN ALL. HAPPY NEW YEAR FELLOW VLOGGERS..
