It works for me with application/octets as long as the extension is .pcast. WTF? Note that if application/xml+rss is the content type for this new metafile format that Apple pulled out of the air, then that's pretty insane because (1) this new metafile format is not RSS by any stretch and (2) the existing one-click spec already uses that content type, so Apple didn't just blow it off, it directly conflicted with it.

Yes, to get QT7 you would have had to grab iTunes, as well (AFAIK) but still, 4.9 was the first Podcast release, and (someone correct me if I'm wrong) that supported .pcast on Win and pcast:// on MacOS. So this definately wouldn't solve your problem.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: One Click buttons
Unfortunately I think most people don't read directions (myself included). I wonder if there's something we're not doing right here? Apple's instructions are pretty clear that you can use the pcast protocol or a .pcast file. It sounds to me like these iTunes installations have, for one reason or another, not properly registered the protocol handler. I wonder if maybe the difference is between fresh installations of iTunes versus upgrades. Maybe an upgrade to the version with podcasting support didn't properly register the handler, while a fresh installation would?
