Webplayer with Shortcode: Error message

  • Hi everybody and thanks for the work on the WP-Plugin so far, I updated today from 2.1.0 to 5.0.8 and I’m havin some “interesting” problems, a few remarks as a primer:

    • I’m running WP 5.3 on a self hosted site
    • I’m using the classic editor, not Gutenberg
    • I’m not using the Podlove Publisher

    I tried embedding the player in posts, mainly on the most recent episode of my podcast, via the shortcode

    [podlove-web-player
theme="default"
config="default"
title="handlungsplan Podcast #021: Im Gespr?ch mit Benjamin Missbach: Open Science & Open Innovation in der Wissenschaft"
subtitle="Aufgenommen am 27.03.2019 mit Benjamin Missbach in den R?umen der Ludwig Boltzmann Gesellschaft in Wien."
poster="https://www.handlungsplan.net/wp-content/files/podcastlogos/hp021-Main-Cover-Art-small.png"
chapters="/files/path/to/chapters.json"
transcripts="/files/path/to/transcripts.json"
src="https://www.handlungsplan.net/wp-content/files/hp021_Podcast_Im_Gespraech_mit_Benjamin_Missbach_Open_Science_und_Open_Innovation_in_der_Wissenschaft.mp3"
size="57288704"
duration="01:44:29"
]

    I filled in the filesize and duration from the data in the WP-enclosure, all URL’s are correct, the files are there. As you can see I get an error message regarding missing media files. I really have no idea, why this might happen.

    Additional fun fact: The player that still works, is embedded via the “old” shortcode:

    [podloveaudio src="https://www.handlungsplan.net/wp-content/files/hp021_Podcast_Im_Gespraech_mit_Benjamin_Missbach_Open_Science_und_Open_Innovation_in_der_Wissenschaft.mp3" title="handlungsplan Podcast #021" subtitle="Im Gespr?ch mit Benjamin Missbach: Open Science & Open Innovation in der Wissenschaft" summary="Aufgenommen am 27.03.2019 mit Benjamin Missbach in den R?umen der Ludwig Boltzmann Gesellschaft in Wien." poster="https://www.handlungsplan.net/wp-content/files/podcastlogos/hp021-Main-Cover-Art-small.png" summaryVisible="true"]

    but some features are not working there anymore (filesize for example), so I’m happy to have some player functionality at least.

    Any help would be very much appreciated, kind regards!

    Hey,

    thanks for the feedback. I tried the shortcode you have provided and was able to run it successfully. I think there might be an issue with line breaks in the example you have copied from the description page.

    Regarding the size issue, unfortunately the filesize detection really depends on the runtime and I couldn’t figure out a good way to make this possible on any PHP configuration for different hosters.

    Nevertheless I will update the description to avoid further issues.

    Thank you very much (also for the short reply time, I appreciate it), I copypasted your description and the player displays correctly, also the filesize for download ist displayed correctly.

    I’ll take the snippet as a template for the other episodes and change the articles accordingly.

    I have another question regarding the options of the subscribe-button in the webplayer, sth. seems to be amiss there (or I’m missing sth), should I open a new topic for that, or can I ask about this in this thread?

    Kind regards!
