s2members protected podcast feed for iTunes

Hello,
I’m looking to get a s2members protected podcast feed working in iTunes.
I’ve followed this very useful post
http://www.primothemes.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=837&p=28558#p28558
and the video tutorial for s2Member® File Downloads (Remote Auth/Podcasting)
http://www.s2member.com/videos/71F49478D6983A9C/

I’ve managed to build a simple xml feed using the one Jason Caldwell has so kindly built in the first link above and saved both the xml and test file in the /s2member-files/ folder

I was able to subscribe to the xml feed in iTunes but could not get the file to download.
I verified Remote Authorization in a browser and the file could be accessed fine.

I finally found that the issue was wordpress multisite as I was using site.com/en/ and not the main site.com
To solve the issue I first set up s2member on the site.com but this wasn’t enough.
I also had to create a user on site.com with s2member access to the file.

to recap
to get a protected feed to work on iTunes if you have a multisite installation with site.com/en
1. setup s2member on site.com
2. register the users of site.com/en also on site.com
3. make sure that the user has an active membership to access the file (I tested this requirement by removing s2member level 1 access and the file would not be downloaded)

Is there a way to get this feature to work without having to set up s2member on the main site and without having to manually register and activate all users on the main site?

Thank you

Hello,

I will forward this message to the Jason, the lead developer, and see if he can shed any light on how to make this work nicely with multi-site environments. I know he’s very busy working on the next major release of s2Member, but he always eventually gets to his emails. Thank you very much for your patience.

Thank you.

Do you know if there is a simple way to have s2member automatically mirror users and their membership from a subsite/subfolder to the main one?

This could solve the issue for the short term.

Thank you

Hi there.

Is there a way to get this feature to work without having to set up s2member on the main site and without having to manually register and activate all users on the main site?

So /en is a child blog in the multisite network? I’ll have to ask Jason about protected files for child blogs in a network, since I’m not experienced with this.

I’ll let you know when I hear back from him. :)

Yes the setup is
site.com
site.com/en
site.com/ja
etc
using wordpress 3.4.2 with multisite enabled

All other features have been working fine.

Thank you

Got it. I emailed him, will be waiting for his reply now. :)

Hello,
I understand this must not be a top priority for s2member, even so are there any update?

Thank you

Thanks for the heads up on this thread.

Thanks for your patience. I’ve been unable to reproduce this so far. Can you please share the link format that you used exactly? For instance, were you using a link with query string arguments (i.e. ?s2member_file_download=file.zip), or were you using a rewrite link that points directly to the file?

Feel free to leave the domain out of the link, but if you can post the entire link that was used in iTunes, and a sample mp3 link that was used in the feed itself, that will help us find a resolution for you.
