In reply to: [Seriously Simple Podcasting] Google Podcasts App problem?However, I did just find out that while Soundcloud shows you an HTTP link for your hosted media. You can add the S, making it https:// and it will still function properly. I’ll try that and see if I can get my files to play in google podcasts! Really great work together everyone! 🙂

In reply to: [Seriously Simple Podcasting] Google Podcasts App problem?Hmmm….That’s very interesting. I have replaced one of my files using the relative name instead of specific. It is unfortunately not playing on any platforms now. So, that may not be the entire resolution but I definitely think it’s making headway. Ultimately, if Google handled its HTTPS redirection better it would resolve the issue for everything. Sounds like this might be a viable workaround for a few folks though!

In reply to: [Seriously Simple Podcasting] Google Podcasts App problem?I’m not sure that this is a permissions issue. I did some testing with the folks over at Castos. They helped me host an episode using a secure link HTTPS:// and that episode played with no issues in Google Podcasts. Our current hosting only uses HTTP:// for their hosting and all of our files with the HTTP:// header fails to stream, but still downloads. Even though our feeds are generated on our site using the Castos app and has an HTTPS:// header the feed redirects to the HTTP:// location of the file. I believe Google Podcasts is handling HTTPS:// to HTTP:// redirects in a strange way keeping our episodes from streaming. I don’t think this is an issue with the Castos plugin. If it was, none of our episodes would be working properly on other platforms such as Itunes, or Stitcher and at the moment, they are working fine. I believe this is an issue on Googles end. I’ve emailed Google Podcast Support three days ago and haven’t heard back. I’d encourage all of you to email them as well.

In reply to: [Seriously Simple Podcasting] Google Podcasts App problem?We seem to be experiencing the same issues.It would appear our feeds are working everywhere, except in the Google Podcasts application. I’ve tested on a Google Pixel 3, Samsung Galaxy, and a Note 8 and unfortunately, none of our episodes are streaming. I get a pretty basic error message that simply states the following:
“Something went wrong This episode couldn’t be played. Try again later.”
We currently host our files on Soundcloud and then use the link of the media file to generate our feeds. We are on WordPress Version 5.1.1 using the Bolden Second Line Podcasting Theme. Below are all of our live podcasts in Google Podcasts. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as we have had several reports of listeners not being able to access our content. If I can provide any additional details to help resolve this issue please let me know!
