"Error occurred downloading media file."
« on: November 14, 2014, 11:15:28 am »
Hi,

I've tried searching this forum and elsewhere for this issue, and although it has appeared many times, the original posters never followed through, leaving little information for those of us searching. Or they were errors specific to each website that do not apply to mine.

We're using the Blubrry plugin on our podcasting website to upload podcasts, however recently it's started giving this error when trying to attach mp3 files:
"Error occurred downloading media file."

An example it's having trouble downloading is the following:
http://www.loudyspeak.com/podcasts/chairshot/files/2014/11/csp229.mp3

... which is clearly accessible!


How can I fix this error?

It appears your server isn't podcasting compatible any more.

You shouldn't really host your files on the same server as your website.  See: http://create.blubrry.com/manual/internet-media-hosting/

I wasn't able to get the file to verify on my test server here.
