I was really excited when the items for the October 2008 Conference finally showed up in the Church's official Video Podcast in my Google Reader:
General Conference, by Speaker (English, Video MP4)
http://feeds.lds.org/LDSGCComplete_eng_mp4
But I soon found that none of the videos were working. Apparently the enclosures and links in the podcast RSS are incorrect.
For instance, the video of President Monson's final address of the conference as linked from the website is:
http://broadcast.lds.org/genconf/2008/1 ... eng_1M.mp4
But the video of the same talk in the Podcast is linked to:
http://broadcast.lds.org/genconf/2008/1 ... 3_eng_.mp4
..which doesn't exist.
It looks like the trailing "1M" is being left off in the filenames in the podcast feed, so it looks like there was a miscommunication about a change in the naming convention.
In any case, I hope it can be fixed quickly (either by updating the feed, or making copies of the files that are named as they are in the feed available).
On a related note,
I also noticed that the hymns are being syndicated in the audio and video podcasts this year, which is great! I was wondering why in the Video podcast the hymns are syndicated only as MP3 audio instead of video like the talks are? Is this also an error, or is it a deliberate decision. If it is deliberate, any insight into the reason why?
