Hi
It happens from time to time with the notice on the dashboard appearing and files not downloading.
Can’t remember who/where someone mentioned the hack, but “regenerating” the permalink structure in WordPress solves the issue.

In reply to: [Seriously Simple Stats] Bonkers stats every other day for a week nowHas there been any progress on this? The “bonkers” stats are worse than ever after a quiet time and pretty much make the plugin obsolete.
Assuming you guys are working hard on an upgrade, seeing that the last update to the plugin was 9 months ago now (version 1.5.2).

In reply to: [Seriously Simple Stats] Add Spotify, Deezer, SoundCloud, AmazonStats will only work for direct download consumers like Apple, Google and Pocket Casts.
Spotify downloads the file once and then hosts on their servers (incl. the best stats of all platforms IMO through their Podcast interface). Not familiar with Soundcloud.
Best “overall” stats package would be Chartable as they at least partially bring together Spotify and direct downloads.

In reply to: [Seriously Simple Stats] Bonkers stats every other day for a week nowFix worked out fine so far.
However today, there is another “bonkers” day. Checked the DB and the “hits” are now coming through with referrer “itms” (500+ all within a couple of seconds). Appears “itms” is what Apple calls the iTunes crawler service.
Not sure if Apple changed anything on how they are crawling rss and how that is, or should be, reflected in the stats plugin.

In reply to: [Seriously Simple Stats] Bonkers stats every other day for a week nowThanks for that. Added it to the file as described.
Hope the next release of the plug-in will address the issue directly.

In reply to: [Seriously Simple Stats] Bonkers stats every other day for a week now@zahardoc just checked my database. All the hits in question have an empty “referrer” field.

In reply to: [Seriously Simple Stats] Bonkers stats every other day for a week nowHi
Experiencing exactly the same issue. From my perspective, it appears like a bot or a new “service” is represented as downloading all episodes in the catalogue in one go. Our daily stats are typically in the neighborhood of a multiple of the number of episodes in our archives plus the number of actual downloads on that day.
Downloads get represented under “other” in the listening sources.
Appears that the “downloads” tracked by the plugin are bogus if I compare the numbers to other services like Chartable or Podtrac.
Thanks for looking into this.
