Hi there,
Sorry for the late reply.
Can you share link to one of the audio on nextcloud? Also, how are you adding locally hosted episodes to the player.
I will check and try my best to help you.
Thanks,
Hi,
no problem and thank you!
Here i posted the rss link, the link to the file that works (hosted on aruba) and the one to our nextcloud (not working)
https://www.radiotandem.it/test-rss-pod/
The rss is directly hosted on our website. As you can see in the rss, i tried different ways to direct link the episode, but everytime i’m using nextcloud it doesn’t get listed by podcast player. A “simple” player with the direct link is working with either of the two, therefore I guessed that there’s some compatibility problem with the way the plugin works. Or I did something wrong 🙂
thank you again

Hi there,
Thanks for providing the additional information.
I checked the nextcloud link https://cloud.radiotandem.it/nextcloud/s/spaceistheplace/download?name=Space%20is%20the%20place%20del%2027%20giugno%202023.mp3
This link has two parts,
1. Main URL: https://cloud.radiotandem.it/nextcloud/s/spaceistheplace/download
2. Query String: name=Space%20is%20the%20place%20del%2027%20giugno%202023.mp3
For security reasons, podcast player always check that only a valid audio file is to be played in the player. Therefore, it check that the main URL must be a valid audio file (ends with any valid audio extension like mp3). However, in the nextcloud case, it does not provide the direct link to the audio. It gets the audio reference in the query string.
Therefore, podcast player is not recognize it as a valid URL and hence not display it.
Inform me for more help or explanation on the above.
thank you,
the explanation was very helpful. I had to twiddle a bit with nextcloud and sharing links, but i managed to get a “main” URL containing the link to the .mp3 instead of the one with the query. now is working like a charm 🙂
in case someone else is wondering:
git clone raw into your app folder https://code.treora.com/gerben/nextcloud-raw and activate from the admin settings of your nextcloud
share a folder: now you can use a link like https://my-nextcloud/apps/raw/s/aBc123DeF456xyZ/path/to/file for your enclosures
add another app like configurable shares to get “cleaner” links like https://my-nextcloud/apps/raw/s/share-token/path/to/file
