rss-feed and podlove webplayer won´t run

[HobbykochPod]

Greetings,

I used the migration tool to create episodes from the wp-articles and audio files on hobbykoch-podcast.de. That worked very good.

The problem is, that the rss-feed contains a different location for the files. I didn´t find any settings, where this can be adjustet.

The webplayer shows the right duration for all episodes and the download link works, but the player won´t start playing. I suppose, this might be connect to the issue above.

Thanks in advance,
Kai

update: after disabling tracking feature, the webplayer runs again. the rss-feed is still not functional...

Feed looks good here, maybe there was just some faulty data left in the internal cache when you looked.

[HobbykochPod]

yes, it runs again. well,the upcoming statistics feature was one of the reasons, installing the publisher. i won´t reactivate tracking, though.

You are not far from a working tracking setup, though. Using info from https://sendegate.de/t/rss-feed-und-webplayer-gehen-nicht/489/5, your tracking URLs looked like this:

http://hobbykoch-podcast.de/page/podlove/file/3/s/download/c/select-show/HKP109.mp3

The only wrong thing here is the /page/ section. Without it, the URL resolves correctly!

➜ curl -I http://hobbykoch-podcast.de/podlove/file/3/s/download/c/select-show/HKP109.mp3 
HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
Location: http://glanzwurst.rsync.at/hobbykoch/HKP109.mp3?ptm_source=&ptm_context=&ptm_file=HKP109.mp3

So you only need to find out where the /page/ part is coming from. Maybe check permalink settings.

[eteubert]

Also, check those two settings, mainly the "Site Address" there is any sign of the /page/

[HobbykochPod]

It´s the WordPress Adress in the settings, then.
I´m unable to change that myself and provider says: no.
If there is a workaround, please let me know.

Use this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/code-snippets/
And add the following snippet:

add_filter('pre_option_siteurl', function($x) {
    return 'http://hobbykoch-podcast.de';
});

I have the same problem here:

The generated URL for tracking is: http://different-thinking.de/blog/podlove/file/77/s/download/c/select-show/itmp003.m4a - this doesn't work.
When changing it to: http://different-thinking.de/podlove/file/77/s/download/c/select-show/itmp003.m4a it is working.

I have installed wordpress in the directory /blog - so from my understanding the following configuration is correct:

Why is the wrong tracking URL generated?

I might be using the wrong internal URL. @gglnx do you have any insight on using home_url() vs. site_url()? Currently I'm using the latter to generate tracking URLs: https://github.com/podlove/podlove-publisher/blob/1.12.1-alpha/lib/model/media_file.php#L100

This seems to result in the wrong URL being generated (sometimes). The documentation is a bit vague. Do you think I should change to home_url()? Or am I holding it wrong?

[different-thinking]

Eric,

I'm not so deep into this. I think there is a mixup between the field labels and the function calls. IMHO home_url() should give back the right adress.
When the install directory is the same as my site address - both calls will return the right value.

Hope, that helps and don't confuse,
