Player looks like a video all of a sudden
« on: August 17, 2018, 10:03:33 am »
Posted a new episode just now and the player looks completely different. Like a blank video placeholder. WTF?

Would attach a screenshot but don't see how.

Double checked. Don't think I did anything different.

Any ideas?

If you uploaded any type of file format other than mp3, or the end of your media file URL has a tracking code on it, this will happen.

If that doesn't give you enough information to solve the problem, please post a link to the page with the incorrect player so we can see what's going on.

Ah, I think I uploaded the wrong file by mistake. That is so interesting. I uploaded an image. But it published it out through the podcast app. Fascinating! Anyway, thanks. I'll fix it now. Appreciate the help!

Most image files and even PDFs can be delivered via podcast feeds. Just something to keep in mind.

Okay, done.
