Problem publishing as a Podcast

I tried it again and received an error message "The application 'AP6.exe' has made an attempt to load ffdshow. This dialog is shown because this application is not listed in the ffdshow whitelist or blacklist. Your choice will be applied to both audio and video, if both are used." And then I am given a list of options to select. What do I need to do to get the podcast published?

Hi Beth, 

It sounds like you may want to disable the ffdshow component and try publishing again. You can disable the ffdshow component in the following manner:

1)  Go to Start > All Programs > K-lite Codec Pack > Configuration > ffdshow audio decoder.

2)  On the right side of the screen, you will see a table with Format, Decoder, and Details columns.

3)  Set the Decoder field to "disabled" for the following Formats:

     *  MP3

     *  MP1,MP2

     *  WMA 7

     *  WMA 8/9

     *  WAVPACK

     *  Uncompressed

4)  Click the OK button to save your changes.

Give that a shot and let us know if you're able to publish the podcast. Thanks!

That worked brilliantly. Thank you!

Awesome! Glad to hear it, Beth. Thanks for letting us know

Can you also just click on Disable when that fdshow dialogue box comes up. Thats what i did. Because i couldnt find K-lite Codec Pack in my Start menu.

What does the fdshow diaolgue box mean?

I already installed the codec and perform this steps, but the product when publishing the podcast is the same... and html, js and a swf.... it does not appear any error.

Hi, I already installed

Hi Dianellys and welcome to Heroes!

Are you using Presenter 09 or 13? Publishing to podcasts was a feature removed in Presenter 13. 

Hi Dianellys,

Thanks for sharing the additional information!

The main difference I can see between the two projects is the file name. Can you try renaming the file that isn't publishing the MP3 file to something shorter, just for testing?

Also, be sure that your presentation is located on your local hard drive (your C: drive). Working on a network drive or a USB (external) drive can cause erratic behavior, including loss of resources. 

Let me know if you see any improvement.

Thanks!

Thanks for your fast answer.

The presentations is located inside a folder in my desktop. Also, I already tried renaming the presentation without special characters and short name.  Didn't work :-(

I also tried a workaround... and seems to work...

1.  I published my audio files with Adobe Soundbooth. (the entire project to and .mp3) The .mp3 has the name that the HTML is calling. Example:  0004Mejorameinto.mp3

HTML:    CreatePodPlayer("0004Mejorameinto.mp3",  -1.#IND, true);

Line inside the .js (javascript)  :  function CreatePodPlayer(strMP3, nDuration, bAutoPlay){

2.  Calculate the duration of the total audio files, and converted it to miliseconds... since that is what the "numbers" represents in the HTML link (the duration) according to the javascript.

3.  I substitute this  -1.#IND, with the duration of the audio files in miliseconds... AND IT WORKED!!

Modified HTML LINE:  CreatePodPlayer("0004Mejorameinto.mp3", 3600000, true);

So, the problem is not answered, since Presenter does not publish my Podcast completely.. BUT At least I can come with a product for my customers..

Hi Dianellys,

Sorry to hear that the initial project still isn't behaving. However, I am happy to hear that you were able to get this working with another method.

If at any time you'd like us to take a look at the original project files, to see what's going on, you're welcome to send them over. We'd be happy to take a look and see what might be going on with the generation of the MP3 files. 

Thanks and have a great day!
