We started a new podcast and I am trying to add it. The feed is at

But we get this error when trying to add it

Hi ObsessedwithFilm. Though your feed leads to a web page with embedded audio (nice flash player, BTW), your feed itself actually does't contain a proper enclosure. To get your feed to work here at PCA and with players such as iTunes, you'll need to have a properly formatted enclosure tag.

I took a moment to imagine what the <enclosure> tag would be like for your feed from what I gathered viewing the source code for your http://www.obsessedwithfilm.com/podcast/obsessed-with-film-podcast-5-deja-vu-review-of-2006.php page:

<enclosure url="http://www.obsessedwithfilm.com/podcasts/Episode1.mp3"
type="audio/mpeg" />Please understand that you won't be able to just paste the above into your feed. There are a couple of other things that you need such as the legnth and size parameters. For information on how to set it up correctly, see the iTunes (http://www.apple.com/itunes/store/podcaststechspecs.html#_Toc526931673) spec.

Once you've got the enclosure in, if you still get a critical error let me know right away.

I am pretty sure we have the enclosure now. But I still can't seem to get it working. When you view the source of the feed it has the:

<enclosure url="http://www.obsessedwithfilm.com/podpress_trac/feed/1507/0/Episode1.mp3" length="19258034" type="audio/mpeg"/>

So I assume that means it's working?

Sorted now thanks.

But can you remove this one:

As I had to add it again to make it work (redetecting didnt work).

Glad to hear it's fixed. I'll take care of the stray entry and take a look at why it wouldn't re-detect the new URL when you tried. Have a good holiday!
