 * Hi smart people, I had another question………
 * I now get a big black/white/gray Missing Media Files error box that says “The
   Player recieved an invalid configuration. Without media files the player can’t
   be used. Please reach out to the host to fix this problem.”
 * However, the player bar after the content seems to play fine. I started getting
   these messages after opening my audio files in MP3tag to insert a cover image
   and then re-uploaded the audio files.
 * Is there maybe another way I should have inserted the cover image?
 * Thanks! Have a great Thanksgiving holiday, Kathy
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fmissing-media-files-error%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Please delete this question if you want, I used my browser “examine element” 
   to find out that the page was looking for a Podlove player, someone had re-activated
   Podlove, a plugin I had tried out but decided to ditch in favor of Simply Serious.
 * But it’s so nice to have a place to ask questions 😉

 * Ok, glad to hear things are all set for you. If you need anything else just let
   us know.
