Podcasts stopped transferring to iPad

[Russell Baldwin]

Thanks very much for the reply Steven. I tried your suggestion, but I could be doing it wrong ;-)

get_iplayer --pvr --tag-podcast-radio --tag-fulltitle --aavtomp3

For me at least, this put it into 'Music', not 'Podcasts'.
Perhaps something to do with the order of commands?

The only reliable way for me is if  iTunes I set the Get Info / Options / Media Kind to 'Music'
and then find it Music and set it back again to 'Podcast'?

This suggests to me that something has changed with the metadata for iTunes Podcasts to sync?
Something which '--tag-podcast-radio ' does not do, but manually doing it does do?
