Force update and ping service
Due to popular demand it is now possible to force an update on individual feeds. There's a new button located next to the title of a station, click it and PodNova will retrieve the feed and update the station page.
Besides the force update button it's also possible to ping a feed with xml-rpc, here's an example with Python as the scripting language but of course all languages are possible.
>>> import xmlrpclib
>>> pn = xmlrpclib.ServerProxy("http://www.podnova.com/xmlrpc.srf")
>>> pn.ping_feed("http://www.morningcoffeenotes.com/rss.xml")
Return value 1 means everything went ok, -1 means the server was to busy to handle your request at the moment.
Note: as we're testing this service out at the moment, it still has a maximum number of simultaneous connections.

It looks like you've added your blog-url (http://heartofthenight.blogdrive.com) to the Digital Podcast directory (which PodNova spiders) instead of the feed itself (http://heartofthenight.blogdrive.com/sho...). I just manually added your feed to PodNova and it is available here:

Updating works perfectly from this page.

I was wondering how to update my podcast listing? It directs to http://heartofthenight.blogdrive.com rather than where the xml is located at http://heartofthenight.blogdrive.com/sho.... This is for the Heart of the Night Show listing. Any help would be appreciated!
