I can't repeat it... I can always get it to work (have tried XP, Mac OSX, and even Vista). What I did notice was that in Vista, it loads the entire file before it will play... and opens in itunes... so my first episode was 60 some megabytes, which meant I had to wait for all 60mb to be downloaded before it played.</p> <p>I use a link to the file in my post (ex: domain.com/podcast/ep1.mp3).</p> <p>Hope this helps and if you find out more, let me know too.</p> <p>my site is djmoose.ca </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/226947#post-948751 Wed, 07 Jan 2009 23:16:08 +0000 RytoX 948751@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Podcasting has that audio player built-in, but I can try it by itself to see if the results are different. At this point, I am suspecting server issues, like a bad PHP config/build - mime_content_type() is not defined on my server. =/ </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/226947#post-947994 Wed, 07 Jan 2009 10:49:36 +0000 alanft 947994@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>have you tried just a simple inline player - like wpaudioplayer?</p> <p><a href="http://wpaudioplayer.com/" rel="nofollow">http://wpaudioplayer.com/</a></p> <p>if that produces the same results - perhaps it is an issue with your server's config/ability to serve those media files? </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/226947#post-947515 Wed, 07 Jan 2009 00:33:14 +0000 RytoX 947515@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Does anyone have any recommendations here? I have made a <a href="http://www.startupcafe.org/dev/blog/">fresh install of WP2.7</a> and installed ONLY <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/podcasting/">Podcasting</a> on it and it still just sits and says "Buffering...". So far, I have read nothing that has solved my problem.</p> <p>Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Even alternative MP3 players or podcasting software suggestions would be welcome to see if any of those would work. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/226947#post-941448 Wed, 31 Dec 2008 22:37:31 +0000 RytoX 941448@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Does anyone know anything about problems where the audio players from both <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/podpress/">podPress</a> AND <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/podcasting/">Podcasting</a> won't play MP3 files? The blog I'm trying to get up and running is here:</p> <p><a href="http://www.startupcafe.org/blog/">http://www.startupcafe.org/blog/</a> </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/226947#post-930991 Fri, 19 Dec 2008 16:02:07 +0000 RytoX 930991@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I forgot to mention exactly what happens when I try to play the audio files. Basically, using either plugin (<a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/podpress/">podPress</a> or <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/podcasting/">Podcasting</a>), the audio player that each plugin uses gets stuck at "Loading" (podPress) or "Buffering" (Podcasting). I've read about "infinite/endless buffering" problems, but I did not see a solution. Maybe I missed it because I was tired when I looked, but any help here would be appreciated.</p> <p>Testing on Firefox 3.0.4 and 3.0.5 on Windows XP Pro SP2, IE7 on Windows Vista Home SP1, and FF 3.0.5 on Windows Vista Home SP1. I don't know the flash player versions of those respective machines, but it can easily be assumed that they are version 9 or above. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/226947#post-930316 Thu, 18 Dec 2008 23:44:27 +0000 RytoX 930316@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Is there a podcasting plugin that includes file upload as part of its functionality? Neither podPress nor Podcasting do this, which is sort of moot at the moment, considering I can also get neither of them to actually PLAY uploaded files. I am using self-hosted WordPress 2.7 and I have applied the <a href="http://exper.3drecursions.com/2008/07/25/disable-revisions-and-autosave-plugin/">Disable Revisions and Autosave plugin</a>.</p> <p>Help? </p>
