ERROR OBTAINING MEDIA FILE SIZE
« on: January 27, 2010, 01:32:42 pm »
I am using wordpress version 2.9.1 and blubrry version 1.04
Up till now I have loaded many podcasts created with audacity in a wave file opened and labeled and (lamed) in Itunes I then load them in through my FTP on to storage. I test each file before placing it on the server. I then add it to my post and VERIFY it's operational. Until now it worked well now I am getting the message ERROR OBTAINING MEDIA FILE? That is when set for auto search when I have specified the file SIZE and TIME  the player is placed on the site but no music plays ? What can I do to override the error message I am receiving or is there a bug in the code ???
  my website is : http://www.healingheartandspirit.com

I'm not sure why PowerPress is unable to obtain your media information, I am testing this with these media files to see if I can figure out the problem.

The files you have in question will not play using the web based flash player because they are in 'mono' format. You will need to convert these audio recordings to either 'stereo' or 'joint stereo' for them to play on your web pages.

This may be why PowerPress is failing to detect the media, though my development version, when detecting your media files, shows this error:

Warning, Media URL http://www.healingheartandspirit.com/wordpress/podcasts/it_happens_to_all_of_us-mahri_best.mp3: Channel Mode 'mono' may cause playback issues, we recommend 'joint stereo' for maximum player compatibility. [Help]
