That worked. Thanks Joe!

Thanks Joetek,

If I change my CDN to S3 Push, won’t I no longer be able to specify Cloudfront as the hostname? Do I then need to use a CNAME to reference Cloudfront?

Ok that worked thanks. I’ll deal with my hosting provider.

Any ideas on this? My hosting provider says they support MP3. Any chance this is an issue with PowerPress?

I tried that, unfortunately it didn’t resolve the issue. I have a BlueHost VPS, which their help documentation says that they support mp3 (https://my.bluehost.com/cgi/help/306).

Here is my updated .htaccess file:

RewriteOptions inherit

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^.*$

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

# Add file types to support
AddType audio/mpeg .mp3

Thanks again for your help on this.

You can see that it will play as a podcast. It’s a little slow to start, it should have been edited to clean up the dead air. Also, I know self-hosting is a no-no. Our organization doesn’t really have the budget at this point for a CDN.

Thanks for the reply. I had tried most of what the document suggested except for deleting and reinstalling the PowerPress plugin. Once I did that, I was able to see the settings page and my error on verifying the URL is different. It changed from the Ajax error to now display:

Media URL reporting incorrect content type: text/html

I get that error even if I try to verify URLs that are already podcasts.
