Exclamation Podcasts no longer work after VBSEO added to vbulletin

Previously I had successful podcasts showing up on Apple iTunes by using the features built into vbulletin. The specific forum that I was podcasting from is here: Rides that Rock Podcasts - The Cayman Club

Unfortunately it seems that the URL rewriting or something in VBSEO is playing havoc with iTunes ability to pick up the podcast and have it show up on iTunes.

I have attached a screen cap of how I have filled in my podcast information when posting a new podcast item and you can see that it is correct, and as I said, it used to work before VBSEO.

Is there some way to turn off VBSEO for just the one forum that I podcast from or is there some setting in VBSEO to allow podcasts to work?

Would excluding the /files/ folder from the rewrites in the .htaccess work ?

I don't know, how would I do that? That is the folder where I always keep the files.

in the htaccess file, where you see admincp and modcp, (2 places) add in files in the same syntax.

The only place I see those mentioned in the htaccess file is in this line:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^(admincp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images)/

I'm assuming I should add in
|files|
Then?

There are two places:

Code:
RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap_).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|cron)
RewriteRule ^((archive/)?(.*\.php(/.*)?)?)$ vbseo.php [L,QSA]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^(admincp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images)/
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ vbseo.php [L,QSA]

you should have



Code:
RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap_).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|files/|modcp/|cron)
RewriteRule ^((archive/)?(.*\.php(/.*)?)?)$ vbseo.php [L,QSA]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^(admincp|files|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images)/
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ vbseo.php [L,QSA]

Thanks,
I've made the changes, I'll give iTunes a day or two to catchup and then see what happens.
