Error 500 when getting size/length of MP3-file

    When I click the “Verify URL” button after entering the URL to the MP3 file it only displays “500” in the message box appearing above the input field.
    Then, of course, no file size and duration is detected.

    In the error-log I see the following messages:

    Got error 'PHP message: PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught Error: [] operator not supported for strings in /wp-content/plugins/powerpress/getid3/module.audio.mp3.php:926

    If you need more information, tell me, I’ll do my best to deliver it.

    I have asked the lead developer of PowerPress to look at your question. He’ll respond here as soon as he’s available.

    Hello Michael,

    I did a little research and discovered that the getid3 library we are using (also found in WordPress core) is not 100% compliant with PHP 7.1+. The warning messages it provides are the problem. The warnings are rare to happen which may explain why you are the first to have the problem. The warning for your case is “Too much data in file: expecting X bytes of audio data, found Y (Z bytes too many)”. What ever ID3 writing software you use, it did not update the first 10 bites of the file which indicates how big the payload of the ID3 tags is.

    The next update to PowerPress will better handle these warnings, and the next major release will include the latest getid3 library which also has these warnings fixed to work with PHP 7.1.

    Would you like to test a pre-release of the next PowerPress update?

    Thanks,
    Angelo
