According to the Mediafly Website:

"Over the next three months, we will be releasing a way to download your existing subscriptions into an OPML format which can be imported into any number of Podcatchers (iTunes, Doggcatcher, PodTrapper, etc.)."

So, where is it???? Have we been abandoned???

So far I have found a way to juryrig a mediafly type setup. First I download all my new podcasts each day using feedemon for windows to itunes.

Itunes puts all my podcasts in to a special smart playlist that removes any played podcasts from it.

Then I use that computer with a copy of plex media server to play the itunes smart playlists in the plex app on my google tv :)

How is everyone else coping with the upcoming loss of Mediafly?

Beginning about 6 weeks ago all of my Chumbys stopped loading channels. Stuck on the "loading channels" message. This happens with multiple accounts and multiple models of Chumby.

I have a Viewsonic Viewbook 730 with limited storage. Mediafly App came preinstalled and there is no readily apparently visible way to uninstall it. How do we uninstall this dead App ??

Dear OnAir user,

Since 2006, Mediafly has maintained OnAir, Mediafly’s podcast management system, as a free service. Millions of users worldwide have used OnAir on over 20 different device platforms. Mediafly has grown as a company with the tremendous help and support of users like you.

In late 2009, Mediafly began serving enterprise customers using the same technology that we built to power OnAir. Since then we have received tremendously positive responses from Fortune 500 companies looking for business media delivery solutions such as sales enablement, video review-and-approve, and corporate communications. In addition, smaller customers looking to distribute native apps have flocked to our Broadcaster product.

As a growing business with limited resources, we have decided that we must focus our time and energy on our enterprise customers. Effective March 31, 2012, Mediafly will be shutting down Mediafly OnAir and OnAir-related apps. We at Mediafly are excited by our growth and success, yet also saddened by the need to make this decision. Like many of you, OnAir has become one of our primary ways of listening to and watching various programs.

Over the next three months, we will be releasing a way to download your existing subscriptions into an OPML format which can be imported into any number of Podcatchers (iTunes, Doggcatcher, PodTrapper, etc.). Stay tuned to the Mediafly Forum (http://forum.mediafly.com) for more information on this transition.

We are going to miss providing this service to you, as well as using it ourselves. Thank you for your years of support!

I am not sure what is happening, but lately my feed is having double versions of each podcast in my All (Mix) feed when I view it on the squeezebox radio as well as the mediafly organizer.

Also when trying to play the Popular Channels feed / Music feed on the squeezebox radio instead of it playing 1 podcast after another like it used to, now it only plays the podcast I selected and then stops. I am not sure if this is my problem or if it is a reproducible problem so I thought I would report it.

Also sometimes when I go to write in the forums , they seem gone and all I see is a white page or blank page.

Hi all,

i just started today and created a channel (RSS). No i would like to remove it again, because it shows my clear name etc.
How can I do that?

Thanks!

The following podcast is not updating in Mediafly:

http://video.foxnews.com/v/feed/playlist/86934.xml?template=itunes

The most recent episode it shows is from May 18th, and if click Update Now I get an error message stating "error."

I do see recent content in Zune software and Google Reader.

Looks like TWIT Live is down on MediaFly and MediaFly on Roku. The error message on MediaFly says "This Channel is Empty".

However, if you go directly to UStream, TWIT Live is working fine.

Odd.

There is a new version of the MediaFly web player out there and it does not progress to the next episode any more. It plays the same episode over and over and I don't see that the list is there any more. I can live with it only playing one episode at a time if you guys had issues with the list but it should stop when it gets to the end of the episode.

I just bought a roku and thought I saw mediafly listed on the website as an available channel but I don't see it in the store. Doing a little research (30 seconds of research) I learned about the upcoming cancellation of the "on air" service. Is this related to the missing channel? I thought we had until march to use the service.

I know my current password but would like to change it to something shorter and easier to remember since apparently your Palm Pre software requires me to enter the password every time I want to access my channels. Unfortunately I can't seem to figure out how to do this. As best I can tell, the account information page allows me to enter my current password but doesn't allow me to change it. Please advise. Thanks.

The forum log in issues have been resolved. If you are still having problems logging in please let us know.

Thank you!

Dear Mediafly,
please fix the All (mix) channel so it works like it used to in the past before all the changes were made. Now that it is broke, I can no longer tell how many podcasts I have to listen to by glancing at the channel in the channels manager.

Also I used to be able to use the link - http://onair.mediafly.com/RSS/Users/trallyus/MyQueue/ to see the rss feed for my All (mix) channel but now the rss feed is no longer being updated.

Also I posted this in another thread but will post it here , the chumby used to use the All (mix) channel so in the past I was able to select it and play all my podcasts for the day and get them over with. Since the All (mix) channel is not passing data back to the devices due to being messed up, I have to now select each podcast list and play it one at a time to get the chumby to work.

I stumble around, have tried two browsers, have tried adding and removing episodes channels, to no avail, they are still there. As near as I can figure I want to subscribe to a few channels but cannot find anywhere to do this. I had to vent. I've tried a number of times and am about to give it up. This site could use some help.
I'm using a roku and have two items in my favorites list, and both are old episodes. I'd like to be able to view other newer shows.

I just got Roku2... i heard that i can stream from my computer using TVERSITY...
how do i use it...

For some reason the cookie for the onair mediafly site does not always carry over to the forums site and the forums are constantly telling me to log in when it shows I am logged in to the mediafly site. Can this be looked in to as I hate having to constantly refresh my browser in hopes of being able to post.

Also I may be wrong but I think the changes you made broke the mediafly syncclient as my account says I have 2 technology shows waiting to be downloaded but when I use the sync client , it says I have no new shows.

And my All (mix) choice of shows is gone too. Also the shows that are showing up are not playing on the chumby either so I guess the changes dont just affect the sync client.

I have tried to add and delete the feed numerous times, however the feed is not updating to the most recent episode. The current episode in the feed is September 29, 2011. Yes, I have tried the update now button and get an error. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have been trying all day to get to the forum because it will not keep my ID when I open the forum. It says that I am not logged in but gives me some weird message when I click log in rather than the login screen. I finally clicked the help at the top right of the screen and it allowed me to get into the forum. I just checked the normal way of getting to the forum and it works too so maybe this issue is fixed.

So the current issues are:
1. Can't get to the forum the normal way - this may be fixed now.
2. Auto-delete on both iPhone and website are not working.
3. Haven't received any new episodes since 9 AM CST on either the iPhone or website.
4. Any time I try to play any episode through the website player from this show: "http://onair.mediafly.com/podcasts/feeds/NPR_Wait_Wait_Dont_Tell_Me#NPR_11052011_Wait_Wait_Dont_Tell_Me", it jumps to the next episode as soon as it gets to a music break between parts of the episode. It will not play that next episode like it can't find it or something. I have this happen with the last 3 episodes I have tried to listen to. 11/5, 11/13, 11/19. The playback works fine on the iPhone, so when it does that, I finish listening to it through the iPhone. Also, the next episode that it tries to go to that doesn't work on the website player plays fine on the iPhone as well.

The auto-delete of episodes after you listen to them is not working on either the iPhone or the website.

I've been using a Mediafly channel as an alarm for years. About 2-3 weeks ago the podcasts started truncating about 30 seconds in. In other words, the alarm would start playing the next podcast in my channel and after about 30 seconds it would stop playing that podcast and advance automatically to the next podcast in the channel. This happened no matter which podcast was next in the channel. Sometimes the podcasts would run for a few minutes but rarely would they go that long and they would never play to completion.

One of the Podcasts is the Wall Street Journal daily tech podcast. Usually it stops playing about 30 second in. This is very frustrating. I've deleted the alarm and recreated it but still no luck.

What changed?

Why are these not being updated? Its now 9:55 PST and still no new Monday content. ARGH!!!!!!

Videos load about 30% then go back to the show description.

For an example, "Announcing the Learn Windows Azure Live Event" from 12/7/11

I haven't received any new episodes on this podcast since April and I looked at the source website and there are episodes as recently as this month.

http://onair.mediafly.com/podcasts/feeds/The_Classic_Tales_Podcast

I have the Twit.TV app loaded on my Motorola Xoom. When I try to play an episode of "All About Android" every 6 minutes or so I see an error: "Can not play video. Sorry we can not continue streaming this video. You may see better results by downloading the video first." OK, so I did that I downloaded the video then in the download manager of the Twit.TV app, I click on the episode and play it. Then 6 minutes or so latter I get the exact same error. I can go back to the download manager and click again and it asks if I want to resume play which I do. Then 6 minutes or so latter, again the same error.

ANyone have any idea what is going on here?

Hi,

Since about Friday, I am not seeing any updates to content on the iPad 2. I've update the app. The New (24 hours) channel is empty.

Any ideas on what could be wrong?

I've been lucky that the syncclient from mediafly was working up to about a week ago, seeing that I have windows 7 64bit, and I heard alot of people were having compatibility issues. Well, now the client no longer syncs to my computer or Sansa Clip+. I love Mediafly and just need a good alternative for the podcatcher that can work with it. I have only ever used Mediafly and it's syncclient, so I'm spoiled to it and pod-dumb when it comes to rss and podcast feeds. Any suggestions would be appriciated ^_^.

I'm aware of the issues where we are not getting new episodes and episodes are not auto-deleting. However, I have been listening on the iPhone and manually deleting on the iPhone and I just found out that when I delete it on the iPhone, it is not deleting it on the website, so even though I no longer see these episodes on the iPhone, they did not really delete. At first, I thought it just wasn't updating properly to get me the next set of episodes in the show but it turns out the delete is not working at all. The only way I can for sure get rid of it is through the website (I think anyway).

How can I get the German TV http://www.ard.de ?

My All - Mix channel is suddenly empty and the graphics are a lot larger than they were this morning. The small / medium / large doesn't seem to work anymore for icon size. Did you guys just release something?

Thanks!
