Audio does not play

Hi there,

Thanks for trying Podcast Player.

I have checked your RSS feed and come up with a solution to cover your specific problem. I have included zip file of the plugin at the bottom of this message. It should work perfectly with your case. However, I will test it further with other podcasts and officially release an update to the plugin.
Meanwhile, you just delete podcast player plugin from your WordPress installation and re-install from the zip file attached (How to install?).

link to plugin’s ZIP file: https://send.firefox.com/download/d3def41aa03eb470/#g-OPxy2L5algxjC3vPw23w

WordPress by default cache feed for 12 hours, so your podcast should start working after 12 hours from last update. However, to manually flush WordPress feed cache, try following solution,

1. Go to your existing theme’s functions.php file
2. Copy and Paste below mentioned code at the end of the file and save.
3. Go to your your podcast page (https://ease-drop.com/portfolio/genuine-wrestleboys/).
4. Again Go to your existing theme’s functions.php file
5. Remove the code pasted in above step 2 and save the file.

function podcast_player_cache_buster() {
	return 0;
}
add_filter( 'wp_feed_cache_transient_lifetime', 'podcast_player_cache_buster' );

NOTE: Always backup before making PHP changes.

Please inform if you need more help on this.

Thanks

Thanks,

I see the same issue with this rss feed https://feeds.gimletmedia.com/sciencevs – it doesn’t play.

Hi @tiotrom ,

I checked the feed you mentioned above. It works perfectly well on my test page (You can check the test page at https://vedathemes.com/docs-aamla/podcast-testing/). Can you provide webpage url where it is not playing? I will check and inform.

Thanks,

Not working here. Click the latest episodes, they do not load…

I could not see any link. Please check and resend.

Thanks,

You could check it here https://www.tromsite.com/tools/podcasts/ but in your demo has the same issue https://vedathemes.com/docs-aamla/podcast-testing/

Hi,

It seems now it is not playing and just loading audio file. Is this happening only with above mentioned podcast or with other podcasts as well, I took a raw mp3 from the above podcast and it is also taking too much time to load, you also try to play following mp3 file,

https://traffic.megaphone.fm/GLT2495145910.mp3

Is it playing normally on your system? It is taken from above mentioned podcast.

Thanks

Ah ok I realized that traffic.megaphone.fm is blocked by Ublock Origin….strange and interesting. So, it isn’t the plugin’s fault. Thank you for the quick reply!
