I have recently started a new podcast using the podlove plugin and have tried to submit it to iTunes.
However, iTunes won’t pick up the feed; whenever I submit the feed to https://podcastsconnect.apple.com/#/new-feed/, I always get an error message indicating that there seems to be something wrong with the picture I use:
Podcast-Grafiken müssen zwischen 1400 x 1400 und 3000 x 3000 Pixel groß sein, im JPG- oder PNG-Format und im RGB-Farbraum vorliegen und sich auf einem Server befinden, der HTTP Head Requests erlaubt.
What I’ve tried so far:
- I’ve validated the feed
- I’ve deleted the image, used a different one, checked the specs on my uploaded images.
- I’ve deleted the cache orders where the image resides, than uploaded another one. (And variations thereof)
- I’ve checked that my site allows for HTTP Head Requests.
- I’ve used a different feed/audio format, just to check that, too.
Last time I uploaded a 1800x1800px JPG (RGB colour scheme), but whenever I call the graphic the feed uses, its size is only 1382x1382px, so just below iTunes’s demands.
Does Podlove automatically resize the image? Is this a bug? A feature? Am I doing something wrong? Am I missing something simple? I’m really at a loss here.
The podcast is at http://kinderfilmblog.de/podcast/
The feed I used is: http://kinderfilmblog.de/feed/podcast-aac/
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. (Also, love the plugin!)
Thanks,
Rochus
PS: I’ve had no problem including the feed in my podcasts in iTunes itself, that works just fine. It just won’t pick it up in its directory.
