[TYPO3-dev] Slightly OT: Help with podcasts/RSS/linux codec etc.

[Kasper Skårhøj]

Hi Folks,

As you might know I have begun publishing some video podcasts.

I have promised myself to keep it technically light-weight for me so  
I will not crash under the burned of making them. Therefore I'm  
seeking help with some practical details:

The RSS feed:
- Someone told me that the iTunes specific tags (like subTitle and  
summary) in the feed are not seen if you read the feed with eg.  
Firefox or another regular RSS reader. If someone told me which RSS  
tags to duplicate this info to, I would do it.
- Is there a way to provide links to other resources from the feed;  
like alternatively encoded video, websites, sound and pictures? Of  
course, these resources are just additional links, some that iTunes  
should ignore.

Codec:
- Michael Perkhofer (our video-codec guy) told me that VLC plays the  
podcasts (encoded with H.268) just fine on Linux. Yet, I never became  
good friends with codecs on Linux and would expect many others to  
have problems. Could someone confirm Michaels observations, or share  
experiences/problems and most importantly; Device a strategy for  
making the podcasts available on Linux as well?
