Supporting Amazon S3

I don’t see any reason why it wouldn’t support S3 – if the file URL is publicly accessible then SSP will be able to use it ??

Cool, just wasn’t sure if I could paste any URL or if it had to be in the media library.

From the ‘primary features’ list in plugin description:

The freedom to host your media files on the same site or any other server

??

Good to know. Wasn’t super obvious, sorry. Thanks for the replies!

So, what am I missing?

I paste this S3 link:
https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.excelicommerce.com/PhilMarnellPodcast_1_ANewModel.mp3

…into the post here:

https://philmarnell.com/index.php/podcast/creating-a-new-model/

I publish, and it spins off a 404 NOT FOUND:

https://philmarnell.com/podcast-download/126/creating-a-new-model.mp3?ref=new_window

Every indication I see is that it should resolve to the S3 address, not the download address.

Very frustrating. I uninstalled/re-installed, disabled other plugins, created a new podcast with an uploaded version (instead of S3).

It sees the specs (length, size), but still throws 404 errors.
