Google Podcasts App problem?

    For some reason the new Google Podcasts App does not play our SSP episodes. The old Google Play Music app handles them just fine, but in the Podcasts App we are getting an error –

    Something went wrong This episode couldn’t be played. Please try again later.

    This error occurs on every episode but one. It is possible to download the episodes to play them in the Podcasts App.

    I’ve checked our iTunes, Stitcher, TuneIn and Podcast Go feeds and they are all working fine, so this is apparently something related to the Google Podcasts App specifically.

    Any ideas?

    “Ultimately, if Google handled its HTTPS redirection better it would resolve the issue for everything.”

    HTTPS framing requires HTTPS inside the frame or it won’t work. It’s a bit above Google’s pay grade 😉

    If you’re self hosting, then you can get a free SSL cert from LetsEncrypt, and most of the reputable hosts will allow that. Some of the EIG crap hosts require you to purchase SSL certs through them, which is just another reason to get off their bandwidth and onto something decent.

    Hope that changing the format will work for you –
