Yo Michael — looked into the iTunes feed a bit more; it looks like while Hailin has specified the HD version first in the media RSS stuff, iTunes takes a somewhat “simpler” view of the feed, only looking at what’s in the <enclosure> tag — which, in our case, is still the lower resolution video file. In order to get the resolution we’re looking for in iTunes we’ll need to specify the HD version as the enclosure.

Awesome – thanks for the heads-up! Will ping Hailin about it. Can’t wait to see the iTunes HD feed in action
looks like it is the trick. Although we put the hd first in media:content , the non-FF browsers honor enclosure first. Just modified enclousre so that it spits out the highest resolution video first.

What about using iTunes-specific feed extensions?

Sounds even better!

We’ll need to add these if we want to get listed in iTunes’ podcast guide.

will look into these options soon, and talk to Miro about their algorithm to pick the feed

This is all great news – maybe we can put out a “portable WordPress.tv” vid once things are all peachy
