"Can't locate audio"

How about the demo page? Does that work ok for you?

Oh, good test! No, the same thing happened there.

hmm…I’ve not come across this before. Is it intermittent on the demo page as on your other domains? By that i mean does it do it half way thru a track for you?

I will need to look into this i think. I’m in fact only reporting the error that jplayer itself has raised. Any other info you could provide that you think might be helpful would be really appreciated. Thank you for posting back. I’ll post back any info I can find.

It seems to be random/intermittent. So far I’ve only seen it happen on playlists, and not single-song, inline players. I click to play a song, or click through the songs in the list, and randomly one or another will display the can’t-locate message, even if it has played before! Sometimes the song will start playing even though the can’t-locate message is still showing! And sometimes there’s no message at all, and the song will just never start up.

I’ll be happy to be your test subject, try things and report back, if you need feedback. Thanks for your attention to this!

so far I’ve had no luck reproducing this, nor finding any relevant threads or info.

Would you have access to a second device for testing? just to rule out something device specific.

If it proves to be a problem I could probably just ignore these errors if it’s chrome on ipad, but would like to avoid tis if poss.

I’ll try get my hands on some more devices in the meantime..

I’ll definitely take a look at it on my iPad and report back, and I was going to log back in to post this: I “made” it happen on my phone in iOS Safari today. Argh.

EDITED! Sorry my point was already made

Thanks vickita, i think with the phone doing it too I’m going to make a change, an admin option for front end messages, default to off, or maybe show them to admins only. Hopefully a temp fix, not ideal but it will at least stop the can’t locate while blatantly playing scenario! I’ll try get this out over the weekend.

Ok, I’ve made some changes in version 2.2 which is now available. I’ve simplified part of the error handling and added a select option to control showing of messages, defaults to admins only.

Let me know if there’s any change in regularity of the can’t locate messages, or anything else!

Ah, thank you Simon. Sorry I flaked out there — came down the the Cold From Hell and flaked out on pretty much everything. *SIGH*

This is very helpful; thank you! I run multiple websites for musicians, venues and one recording studio, and your plugin is invaluable.

you’re welcome, and I hope you’re feeling better. Let me know how the fix goes and if you notice anything not right still. Thanks for letting me know about this.
