Automatic PODCAST RSS Feed Creation
Whant to Automatically update your RSS feed whenever you create new audio?If you are like me, and have tons of productions and projects filling up every available minute of your time, you would probably love a script that could automate the process of updating your RSS FEED whenever you create new audio for your Podcast.
I have found such a script. It's FREE and it works great!
It's called DirCaster, and the new version is v0.4.
Drop this script in a directory and it will generate an RSS feed suitable for iPodder, etc based off the MP3 files in that directory. To 'cast a new file, simply upload it to the directory containing this script. It's really that easy.
I've been using this script since day one and it has been a very welcome addition to the whole process.
This script does require that your server supports PHP4 or greater.
You will need to edit some of the text in the file to make it reflect your feed.
That's it.
While this script does work great if your using a PHP website, perhaps on a Unix box, it is a little tricky to get working if you are using NT, especially with FrontPage.
My main website uses the FrontPage extensions. We do this so that the crew that updates the website can do so very easily. It has it's pluses and it's downsides. In fact, probably more downsides than upsides. We will be leaving this to a straight PHP website in the near future, but for now, we wrestle that monster known as Microsoft.
I have been able to get the script to work. I had to adjust some variables, especially the ones that determine root URL, but once it was done, it has worked great.
Give it a try.
