Spreaker Player That Updates When a New Episode Is Uploaded

Hi there,

Thanks for trying Podcast Player.

I merely checked the feed you mentioned on my exam page (https://vedathemes.com/docs-aamla/podcast-testing/).

As can be seen on the examination page, it seems to be working well. At that place might exist some server or other trouble at spreaker for a short duration. Please clear the cache and bank check again.

Delight inform if still you get the same fault. Nosotros will endeavor something else.

Thank you,

I guess mayhap there is something foreign in data received from spreaker, because the parser and other plugin's code has not changed.

Well, I bought pro version yesterday, set upwardly website on local host with histrion on front page. Yesterday player worked nice and smoothen, only today I have same error…
Any solution?

Is this the aforementioned RSS feed? I am pitiful that you are facing such absurd trouble, merely I still recall in that location is something incorrect with the RSS feed xml (at some fourth dimension it does not transport proper xml and at other times information technology just send normal xml). Let's try following to see where the problem is,

1. Check again if the podcast player is showing everything correctly or showing the error.
2. If it is showing the error message, attempt to add WordPress's default "RSS" widget or cake anywhere on your site and enter the feed. Let'due south see what it is showing.

If WordPress's RSS widget too shows the same error, there should be something incorrect with Spreaker's RSS feed. If not, delight inform me, nosotros volition try something else.

On a side annotation, the podcast feed even so showing perfectly on my test page, https://vedathemes.com/docs-aamla/podcast-testing/.

I am also checking over again the root cause of this problem. Will let you know if I notice anything new.

Thanks,

Howdy,

Is this the same RSS feed?

Yep it is.

I have followed your instructions and with the default RSS widget (and my RSS url) I accept the same error.
Yeah, you might be right that is'south a problem with Spreaker'southward RSS because when I used some other RSS from Spreaker your plugin and a default rss widget take the same fault.
Hope that this info will assist to solve the trouble.

1 more hint, when I refreshed website after couple minutes error disappeared, same for plugin and RSS widget.

Howdy, every bit y'all rightly pointed out that there seems to exist some problem with Spreaker's RSS feed for few minutes. Podcast player tin only read and parse whatever feed data it receives from Spreaker website, if it receives wrong data, it can't process and provide correct results. However, in one case information technology receives correct information during any time of the day, it will cache and provide proper results for adjacent 12 hours.

I suggest you lot also inform about this error to Spreaker client support. They can check at their stop and inform what is the exact event.

Y'all tin send them link to this back up thread. Please inform about their response on this.

Thanks,

How-do-you-do in that location,

I take been trying to provide some solution for the above problem.

What is the problem?
podcast player is showing an mistake message, almost probable due to Spreaker does non provide correct feed xml information for a few minutes.

Possible solution I am trying
I am modifying display logic in Podcast histrion to handle such situations.

1. Normally, podcast player save podcast feed data for 12 hours to ameliorate functioning. After 12 hours, it will check if the podcast is updated (any new episode is added or modified).

2.At this fourth dimension of checking, if podcast host provide incorrect feed xml (as the case in this ticket), Podcast player volition bear witness fault message that it has not received correct information.

3. Now, with the new logic, Podcast player volition endeavor to display split results. If the end user is a website admin (like you), it volition show error bulletin same as before. However, if the cease user is your normal podcast listener, Podcast role player will not prove error message, but it volition simply bear witness the last good results it saved.

4. Therefore, in worst instance, your user may not see your latest episode (if any for the mean solar day) for few minutes until correct feed is received from the podcast host.

I am implementing this new logic and will provide an updated examination version past tomorrow for testing. Please check it at your finish and inform if information technology is ok.

Besides, as suggested earlier please discuss this outcome with spreaker support besides to resolve the root cause of problem.

Thanks,

Hi,

Information technology will be all automated. Notwithstanding, y'all tin manually override using feed updation tool in WordPress Dashboard > Settings > podcast thespian.

two. Enter your feed URL
three. Select "Update just" from drop-downwardly and click "Update Now"

Hi @operaghostbr ,

Thanks for trying Podcast Player.

Every bit I mentioned in item the reasons and possible solutions higher up. I only apace summarize for you,

one. Most probable in that location is something unpredictably strange with how spreaker serves the podcast feed xml file. Sometimes it works with WordPress feed system and some other times it just don't work (Just now, your podcast feed is working perfectly on my system.).

2. To temporarily minimize the effect of this error, I accept modified the plugin. In which, If you are already using Podcast thespian (and got your podcast correctly displayed for the first time). Then If feed error occur (similar to what we received in this ticket)
2a. If you are logged in as admin, you will encounter mistake message equally earlier.
2b. If you are not logged in, yous will see normal podcast role player without any fault. However, your latest episode may not be visible unless correct feed received from the host (spreaker).

3. I am also looking for a permanent solution to this event. Hopefully, I will try to resolve it in next update.

4. Please as well inform spreaker about this strange behavior and provide link to this ticket. They may also check run into what is happening.

Please inform if y'all need more than help on this Or if any other help is required with podcast player.

Thanks,
