# [Plugin: podPress] 2 problems after upgrade

 * [15 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-podpress-2-problems-after-upgrade/)
 * On my podcast site ([http://podcast.hawktaildesign.com](http://podcast.hawktaildesign.com)),
   I just upgraded my WordPress installation to 3.0.1 and PodPress to 8.8.6.3 and
   I’ve encountered two problems.
 * The first and least important issue is that every time I upgrade PodPress the“
   Click to Play” image changes to the default image even though I have a custom
   image selected in the PodPress settings. In the past I’ve gone into the code 
   of PodPress and manually changed the code, but I’m kinda tired of doing that.
   This isn’t a big deal, but it is a bit annoying.
 * The second issue is bigger and one I’ve never encountered before. If you click
   on the video player all that is shown is the question mark Quicktime logo. The
   only good news is that in my feed (feed://feeds2.feedburner.com/TheLameShow) 
   the video file seems OK. It also seems like the file is ok in iTunes.
 * Any help would be appreciated.

 * Thanks for the report!
 * I will fix the problem which you have mentioned first.
 * I will also try to solve the second problem. In the last versions podPress encodes
   the URLs of the media files for the <embed> element which is part of the code
   of the <object> element which shows the player after the click on the player 
   preview. The idea was to avoid problems with file names which are containing 
   non-ASCII characters or white-spaces. But it is maybe superfluously to encode
   the URL at this moment at which it is done now.
    Until I fix this you can do 
   one of two things: – You seem to be familiar with editing PHP and probably JS
   code. That is why you could do a quick fix in the podpress.js file: line 147 
   old:
 *     ```
       strResult += '  <embed src="'+encodeURI(strMediaFile)+'" style="width:'+numWidth+'px; height:'+numHeight+'px; background-color:#000;" scale="aspect" cache="true" autoplay="'+strAutoStart+'" controller="true" src="'+strMediaFile+'" type="'+strMimeType+'" pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/"></embed>';
       ```
   
 * new:
 *     ```
       strResult += '  <embed src="'+strMediaFile+'" style="width:'+numWidth+'px; height:'+numHeight+'px; background-color:#000;" scale="aspect" cache="true" autoplay="'+strAutoStart+'" controller="true" src="'+strMediaFile+'" type="'+strMimeType+'" pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/"></embed>';
       ```
   
 * – Or you could use file names without white-spaces.

 * Hey Tim,
 * It took me a while to find the time to do the changes you suggested, but they
   worked perfectly! Thanks for your help and I look forward to an update to handle
   both issues. Podpress is still the best plugin I’ve found for Podcasting with
   WordPress.
