Duration field auto calculate

    Hey,

    Thanks for such a great plugin, has been such a breath of fresh air for working with custom post types that need a podcast RSS feed.

    I’ve got a question about the Duration Field being auto calculated – it doesn’t seem to work for all mp3s we place in there. File size works fine, but not Duration.

    We just paste a link to the mp3 from the server we host it on. How do we get Duration to correctly auto calculate?

    Thanks for any tips.

    Cheers

    Hi there @gzm89,

    Thanks so much for your compliments on our plugin!

    As for duration, unfortunately it can’t read duration lengths from other podcast hosts.

    From the plugin listing on www.ads-software.com:

    With other podcast providers, you’ll need to make updates to your podcast’s RSS feed via your hosting provider account and again on WordPress to manually sync the information. Seriously Simple Podcasting is also unable to read a few metadata fields (like episode duration and publish date) from 3rd party hosting providers. For each episode, you’ll manually add that information as well.

    You can manually add duration with this format: 00:00:00 (hours:minutes:seconds) or 00:00 if your episode is less than an hour.

    I hope that helps but let us know if you have any other questions or issues about this. I will mark this as resolved, but feel free to respond and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can.

    Have a good one!
