Hi guys and gals, r.e. the original problem- it’s due to the api being down for podango, to resolve the problem I edited the podango-api.php file by commenting out the block that refers to the downed files, so line 5 to 8 will not be referred to.
<?php
class PodangoAPI
{
/* var $serviceUrl = 'http://www.podango.com/api/';
var $fileUploader = 'http://www.podango.com/podcasts/file_upload.php';
var $mediaTrackerURL = 'http://download.podango.com/mediatracker/'; */
Works great for me, so far.
