I upgraded WordPress tonight, wondering if that was why Podpress didn’t work. That may indeed have marked all as new.

Dave, I don’t know if you gave it another shot this evening, or just did something else, but my newsreader (Bloglines) just decided that the last 10 days of posts (12 posts) from you were actually new. Not updated, new. Strange.

OK, I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who was having trouble with Podpress. I thought that I just didn’t devote enough of my time to trying to figure it out. Then I realized that any software that you can’t get even basic functionality right out of the box is software that really isn’t ready for prime time. I’m too busy to try to stay on the cutting edge.

I’ve had problems with Podpress as well. I currently have the files on a different server/domain, and even though it claims that’s ok it still gives me problems. On top of that, their website seems to be down (and I know I was using an out of date version). Ah well.

As a general blanket statement, I think podcasters underestimate how podcast-ready WordPress is – without any additional plugins.

Sam, I had the check box for using the player checked, it never showed up. If I was only doing direct MP3, at least it would have done enough to make it reasonable by putting in the enclosure. As it was, it was just a very complicated way to use the metadata capacity that WordPress already had.

I use podpress on my son's podcast and so far I haven't had any problems with it. We don't use a torrent right now since there aren't enough subscribers to justify it. I just downloaded the latest version today and put it on the site and noticed that the flash player doesn't show up automatically anymore. I checked the settings and they changed the default, to not showing the player preview. I went in changed the setting and it shows up again. I do agree that the documentation is to put it politely sparse. However, I have found it to work really well for my purposes.
