Hugh,
Thank you!!

I have send the request to WP-Engine.
Once the fix has been applied I will confirm and let you know.

Again thank you for your patience and support with this.

Hugh,
Thank you.
I will keep an eye out.

Hi I have an update.
I have been working with my host “Wp-Engine” to come up with a solution.
We have created a test site and are still having an issue with SSP.
What we have done.

1. Created a testing site with our current Theme and Version 1.8.2 of SSp.
2. Upgraded SSP to 1.11.3 on the testing site with our current theme. The audio file will not play, and the download links returns with a 404 error.
3. I have re saved the permalink settings and re uploaded the audio file a few times.

Below is the host’s question.

The issue is actually due to the player attempting to load the media file from the wrong URL path.

08/Oct/2015:13:26:27 +0000|v1|66.162.212.19|aeacitstest.wpengine.com|404|564|-|-|0.000|GET /podcast-download/16282/ridiculous-part-5.mp3

It appears to be using the post ID to load the file, instead of the actual file path: wp-content/uploads/2015/09/09-13-15_Ridiculous_Pt5
I do see that the pod cast has quite a bit of rewrite rules in place and it appears to be how the player functions but it seems that something is incorrect with the settings. Did you make any changes to this in order to get the player to load correctly? Given that this is a core functionality of the plugin, I am not sure exactly what needs to be changed in order to get it to load the correct path for the file. If you mention the above to the plugin developer, they should be able to get you fixed up. I know everything was working correctly before the update to the plugin so something regarding the update messed with the link structure.

Thanks

Tifa,
did you ever find a solution?
I am have the exact same problem.
Thanks.

Ok thanks.

So at this point the live site works on version 1.8.3 but the staging site does not.
I will keep you posted.
Thanks.

I have version 1.8.3 on the live site until the issue can be resolved.
I am currently in the process of setting up the staging site with the current version and disabling the other plugins.
I will let you know what happens.
Thank you.

For right now version 1.8.3 seems work expect that the complete feed url is somehow forwarding to podcast.

Under Publishing settings in SSP
The “Complete feed” is
domain.com/feed/podcast

The “Podcast page” is
domain.com/podcast-archive

But somehow
domain.com/feed/podcast
is somehow forwarding to
domain.com/podcast

And I have my slug set via the code below in my functions.php

/** Seriously Simple Podcasting – this changes the podcast slug*/
add_filter( ‘ssp_archive_slug’, ‘ssp_modify_podcast_archive_slug’ );
function ssp_modify_podcast_archive_slug ( $slug ) {
return ‘podcast-archive’;
}

Thank you.
No I don’t have any SEO installed currently, but my host is WP Engine.

I am in the mists of trouble shooting this issue as well.
Were could I find version 1.8.3?
Thank you.

I am having the exact same issue.
I would be eager to hear if there is a resolution.

Thank you.

Thanks for the suggestion.
I ended up using some jQuery to load the videos via a button.

Thanks.

Kevin,
Thanks for the reply.
I ended up refreshing on my jQuery and came up with a script that loads the vimeo video via a button.
I have it hard coded into theme my next challenge is making it a bit more streamlined.

Thanks again.
Aaron
