> rtMedia PRO new release with RSS-Feed/Podcasting support. Now rtMedia uploads can be consumed from iTunes as well as any feed-reader/podcasting software.

New release of rtMedia v1.8, comes with RSS feed support that can be used for [podcasting](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podcast) as well.![rtMedia-PRO RSS & podcast](https://rtcamp.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2013/11/rtMedia-PRO-rss-podcast.jpg?resize=240%2C184&quality=100&strip=all)

## RSS Feed Support

rtMedia provides you RSS feed for:

- BuddyPress user profiles
- BuddyPress groups profiles
- WordPress author (no UI to subscribe as of now)

Also RSS feeds are available for all media types as well as audio-only/video-only feeds for podcasting.

You can use any RSS feed inside podcasting! Non audio/video items in feeds will be just ignored by iTunes.

### Enable RSS-feeds/Podcasting Support

- Go to rtMedia > Settings > Feed
- Switch **Enable Feed in rtMedia**  to On
- You can set **Media per Feed** of you choice
- Save Settings

To start Podcast, go to your mp3/mp4 player which supports Podcast (e.g. itunes) and enter the Feed URL for the media page you want add, you can get Feed URL on the media page by clicking on RSS tab under Options.

### Adding RSS URL to iTunes Podcasts

Open iTunes. Go to Files > Subscribe to Podcast…”.

#### iTunes Glitch

If you are new to iTunes, then you may notice that no matter how much audio/video you upload on rtMedia, iTunes will show latest one only.

You can fix this by using “Show Old Episodes” option. Just right click on a podcast to see that option. *(screenshot below)*

### Audio/Video Formats

I think iTunes only like mp3 for audio and mp4 for video.

If you are running a community sites where your users will be using diverse media formats like mp3, wma, ogg, wav, m4a, wma, ogg, wav, m4a, etc (for audio) and mp4, avi, wmv, rm, etc (for video), you can try one of [rtMedia’s audio/video conversion](https://godam.io/?utm_source=transcoder&utm_medium=redirect&utm_campaign=plugin_page) option.

### Privacy

As of now rtMedia RSS feed renders public media only. If something is not public, then that will not be present in RSS feeds.

Support for token-based RSS feeds for private media might be added in future, depending on demand. If you need it, just drop a comment below to let us know that.
