I need help... for some reason now my postcast (located here: http://media2.fwpublications.com/HCR/Podcasts/Obsession.mp3) won't actually play when I load it into the post: http://www.hortmag.com/?p=35451&preview=true (it's in draft mode still). Can anyone help?
I have other posts that were done the exact same way and those work fine (http://www.hortmag.com/horticulture-radio/garden-how-to-episode-1-winter-sowing and http://www.hortmag.com/horticulture-radio/radiogarden-episode-1-moving, but this one won't.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

For some reason the Download link is adding information to the URL, but I don't see anywhere to manually fix this.

Under "Services and Statistics" tab, remove all the Media Redirect URL settings, then go to the Basic Settings tab and remove the value in the "Default Media URL" field. This will reset you back to a normal state.

There wasn't anything in the "Default Media URL" field, but I did remove the URLs from under the "Services and Statistics" tab and that worked! Will my stats still work even though I removed those URLs?
Thank you so much!

Well you entered the URLs incorrectly into the Statistics Redirect URL fields, so you wouldn't have had stats either way.
If you are using Blubrry for Statistics, click the link above that is labeled 'Click here to configure Blubrry services', enter your information, and the plugin will auto-add the appropriate media URL in the fields.

Ok, I was doing both then I guess - didn't realize if you configured your Blubrry services and added that Blubrry URL to the actual post it would track stats automatically and you wouldn't have to enter anything into that "Media Statistics" area. Thanks!

Yep, we tried to automate the process.
