Add these fields to Program content types
itunes category
itunes sub-category (if needed)
itunes explicit
Update Program feeds to pull from that information

[troff]

The Itunes feeds are now working and submitted for each program. BUT they are using static content for several fields, which would be good to replace with dynamic. The fields are:
image (KBOO generic)
author (KBOO)
explicit (yes)

this will be in:
sites/all/modules/custom/utilities/radio_station/lib/components/StationContentComponent.inc

Hey folks. I wanted to see if there was any possibility we could add our podcasts to Stitcher and Google Play.

[gabelula]

Spotify also has podcasts now.

from show host:
When we post audio for shows, even though we do not check "explicit" from the drop-down menu, and even though "clean" is now the default, podcasts still show up in the feed with a red E (presumably for explicit), even though it is not explicit!

response:
The reason that it shows up in ITunes as explicit is that we submitted all our podcasts, and had to err on the side of caution by making one single variable in our podcast coding for the 'explicit' variable on Itunes. Since we do have some explicit shows, we erred on the side of caution and made that variable 'explicit' for everything.

We would like to change the code so that we can differentiate between shows that are explicit and those that aren't.

On dev now i have added logic to make it print yes if any episode in the podcast is explicit. In addition, it prints yes or no in each episode.

Note the explicit field was not required on dev prior to me setting it so a few minutes ago, so some may not have values and they will default to explicit.

Ok to push live now?

[troff]

yes to push live - question though @beefman1 did you edit:
sites/all/modules/custom/utilities/radio_station/lib/components/StationContentComponent.inc
to change the podcast/Itunes 'explicit' field from a static value to a variable?

[beefman1]

I think i did way back along with a different commit. Is live functioning as expected now?

[beefman1]

I believe the relevant changes are in radio_station/lib/processors/PodcastProcessor.inc and radio_station/templates/programs-podcast.tpl.php

the git commit is 7731696
