[Plugin: Audio Player] File Not Found — So frustrating

Found a solution: manually enter the form [audio: https://www.mysite.com/audio/filename.mp3%5D in HTML mode, not in Visual mode. The latter adds a ton of code that screws up the player.

This shouldn’t happen. I have never had any trouble using the [audio] code in the visual editor. Maybe you have installed another plugin that is causing a conflict. Can you show me what you get when you use the visual editor?

I have the exact same problem, and Steve’s solution also works for me.
My audio folder path is properly defined and verified in the plugin settings.

At first I thought it was a permissions issue. My Audio folder was set to 705 and when I uploaded new mp3 files to the audio folder, they would receive CHMOD 664.
I switched all permissions to 777 but that did not fix the ‘file not found’ problem. But using the full url does.

Here’s a page on my site which demonstrates this:

The visual editor does not add any extra code at all for me.

Here’s the code created when using the full file path:

<p>[audio:https://www.charlesparente.com/audio/Instrumentalmontage4_samplecpdotcom.mp3%5D</p&gt;

Here’s the code created when using just the file name:

<p>[audio:Instrumentalmontage4_samplecpdotcom.mp3]</p>

Thanks,
Charles

The problem here is that your wordpress files are in a a subfolder called wordpress so the player is looking for the mp3 files in https://www.charlesparente.com/wordpress/audio/

To fix this, you have 2 solutions:

1: move the audio folder under the wordpress folder

2: go to the Audio Player options panel in your WordPress admin and set the default audio folder location to custom and enter https://www.charlesparente.com/audio

Let me know if this works.
