"Content is not allowed in prolog." - Enhanced Epub Error Help?
Hello all! I will fully admit to being a noob at the epub game, so please be gentle.
I have an enhanced epub with video that I have created for the iPad. When I sync through iTunes it works perfectly. The problem comes when posting through iTunesPublisher. Has anyone seen the error: "Content is not allowed in prolog." If so, what does that mean and any thoughts on how to fix it? BTW, why does Apple make this such a difficult process? If it runs on my iPad during testing, shouldn't it run on every other iPad? Anyway, thanks for any insights. Kelly R. Kerr |

The main problems are, that video is not really part of the epub specs and the iBooks app on the iPad is a crap program. The iBooks program doesn't follow a lot of specs and you have to work around it.
Then again, after working around it, it will probably only work on the iBooks app. Like I said, video is not part of the specs. If you get it to work, there are no garantues. I would advise search around on this forum. Various posts about video on the iPad in a iPub (since it won't be an ePub) are made and I believe also methods to make it work. |

"Content is not allowed in prolog" is a general XML error and it usually means that you have whitespace before the beginning of the content so instead of
Code:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> .... yadda yadda yadda .... You may have Code:
(new lines or tabs ) <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> EDIT: ... alternatively ... it's not about your ePub at all, but is a problem sending the request to the Apple servers (firewall, et al inserting content into the body).
