Blog Importer
2008 January 10
There’s a new feature on Vodpod that allows you to keep your Vodpod account in sync with your blog. Simply click on “Add a video to this pod” from your pod’s home page, then fill in the field that asks for your blog’s web address:
After that any videos that you post to the specified blog will be imported into your pod. To turn off the importing, you can go into your pod settings and delete the pod from the list of imports. Blog importing will work with any blog that advertises an RSS feed, which should be most of them.
Cool.
Hello, I don’t know if this is the correct place. I tried the feeddback form but got no answer. I have added an RSS feed from dailymotion.alice.it to my pod yesterday (http://dailymotion.alice.it/rss/it/cluster/auto/featured/1) as I had already done with another pod under another user account (http://dailymotion.alice.it/rss/it/cluster/people/featured/1) which is working correctly (or at least it was until yesterday,
since now it seems it’s not importing new videos appearing in the feed).
The problem is that on the new pod no video has been imported yet. When i go to pianetamotori.vodpod.com it just keeps repeating
“Your blog videos are currently being imported. Please check back shortly!”. Can you help me understand where the problem is?
I have also tried with a Feedburner feed and a Yahoo Pipes one, with no effect. If there’s a problem with the RSS format of the
feed please let me know where i can find the correct format.
Thanks in advance you for your help.
This is a great feature!
