# [Plugin: Podcasting] Player Doesn’t Appear

 * I installed Ronald Heft’s excellent [Podcasting](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/podcasting/)
   plugin about a month ago, and used it for a single audio file. Since then (if
   I recall the chronology properly), I’ve upgraded to WordPress 2.5.1. Today I 
   was surprised to discover that [the player on my single podcast episode thus far has gone missing](http://www.vqronline.org/blog/2008/04/11/podcast-superhero-stories/)—
   the little Flash player doesn’t show up at all. I’ve upgraded to Podcasting 1.64,
   the latest version, and that’s made no difference.
 * As a test, I grabbed the output HTML for that blog entry and pared it down to
   the bare essentials, leaving the HTML structure, the player.js call in the header
   and the object/parameter tags in the body, but that didn’t make any difference,
   so I think I can conclude that I’m not including any other code that’s problematic.
 * Can anybody offer some guidance as to what might be going on here?

 * I used wget to grab the SWF file, and that’s resolving (in the sense that I’m
   not getting a 404, but a bunch of binary data that I assume comprises the SWF
   contents). I’ve tried viewing the page using a handful of browsers (Safari, Camino,
   Firefox, and Opera), and none show the player. All will happily render Flash 
   on the Adobe Flash page, so it’s not a problem with Flash. I tried using my home
   computer, and the same problem is present there. So I feel confident that this
   is a problem on the server end. Given that the SWF file is intact, it strikes
   me as likely that this is confined to WordPress or Podcasting, but that’s not
   necessarily so.
 * Nobody else has experienced this problem?
