Just an update, they did install mbstring and it fixed the issue.

“Have you possibly changed hosts at the point you started seeing this change?” – Yes, that is correct.

What you put is very helpful to know, “so I would suggest asking your host about mbstring.” Thanks!

Hello, I have the exact same issue. I was wondering, did you find a workable solution?

Thanks, it fixed it.

There has been no solution that I’ve been able to find thus far.

wpboys,
Thanks for making this post, I’ve also been having the same issue. So this is a new feature to prevent the redirect loop and there is nothing we can do to remove that text from URL?

Thanks,
James

I also am having the same issue. I uploaded a new podcast around 2 days ago, and it has yet to show up in iTunes. Users are also unable to download the MP3’s in iTunes from an iPhone. I’m unsure why that is happening.

I added the above code, but what was it suppose to specifically fix? I’m trying to test to see what change has been made and corrected.

I also did a test by having a direct URL in the podcast, and iPhones were able to download the iTunes/RSS feed MP3. But when it’s got the /download/ in the url to the mp3, it doesn’t work. I tried messing with WpFileBase > Downloads options, but couldn’t seem to make it show a direct link to where the mp3 is located.

Thanks you for your time.

Many of my users have been having the same issue. iTunes and RSS podcast mp3’s cannot be downloaded, only listened to, and some times you only get 15% of the hour long message rather than the full thing. Is there any solution? Did the max-execution time mentioned above work?

I’m having the same issue where MP3’s are only being half downloaded or it only gives the user the first 10 minutes of 60 minutes of MP3. I’m also wondering if it is something with my W3 Total Cache that is causing this. Did you figure anything out sjspain?
