I don’t see it on my site either. Looking for an answer…

I figured it out so thought I’d share my findings here in case anyone else has a similar issue.

Basically it’s because of GZIP, as media files are already compressed. I disabled GZIP compression for mp3 files using .htaccess:

SetOutputFilter DEFLATE
SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI \.mp3$ no-gzip dont-vary

And that fixed the issue! Advice for this came after speaking to cloudflare and my web host.

Hi Steve,

Thanks for your reply, it was helpful in me tracking down the issue further but I’ve ended up even more confused!!

Firstly, I have another site on the same server, also using cloudflare and there’s no problems there, i.e. it shows the length of the files, not “Live Broadcast”. See here. For this reason I don’t think it’s a cloudflare issue (I have checked the settings are almost identical for each site). Server settings in cPanel look the same for each site too. I’ve tried emptying the cloudflare cache, server cache and browser cache but have had no luck.

It’s odd that the Dave Cook track always plays for you but not the whippet beans, all the mp3’s have been encoded in the exact same way in my studio.

All the tracks play fine for me, I can hear the audio, except the total time and progress is not displayed – in Safari and Chrome. In firefox the total time and progress is displayed but constantly changes (i.e. it grows) and so the progress of the bar doesn’t work as it should – it’s hard to describe but you can take a look.

Further inspection of the markup in safari and chrome shows the attribute aria-valuemax as “NaN”. I assume this means that the html can’t read the headers as you suggested but why and how to fix it? Said markup aria-valuemax doesn’t;t exist on Firefox apparently adding further mystery! Also this isn’t happening on my other site with audio players.

I’m willing to take anything anyone can throw at me at this stage, feel like I’m loosing my mind…

I even get the same behaviour when playing track in the wordpress editor so I know there’s nothing wrong with any front end code!

It’s bizarre, this is not a Live Broadcast!!! It’s just an mp3!

Also, this problem has only started since upgrading wordpress to 4.9. It’s the first upgrade issue I’ve had with any wordpress site for years that wasn’t easily fixable! But it seems like the changes to mediaelement.js in WordPress 4.9 have broken something.

Hi Steve,

I’ve tried all of that. I switched theme to twenty seventeen and the players don’t work at all, never mind showing “Live Broadcast”. I see lots of Javascript errors only in safari: Unhandled Promise Rejection: [object DOMError] (I’m seeing the problem in safari, chrome and firefox though)

Like I said, no problems on my local machine running WP 4.9 so I think this problem has something to do with the server environment. The most infuriating thing is googling “Live Broadcast” together with any wordpres or media element terms yields no relevant results – seems I am the only person in the world seeing the words Live Broadcast displayed on my audio player but I didn’t put them there…

I have not been able to solve the problem I’m afraid. No word from Woo commerce on this matter…

I’ve been running the latest version the whole time.

It’s all working fine after i deleted the config.php in wflogs.

Haven’t uploaded any of it via FTP.

Seems the files are just created by word fence as petkovsc said as there is a new config.php in there and no one has used ftp or updated the site since the error.

So whats going on here? I don’t want the site to just randomly go down again. Will disabling the firewall altogether stop the wflogs files being accessed?

The firewall has been nothing but a nuisance since it was introduced.

Yeah, I’m on a shared hosting platform so I can’t do anything as another user or change ownership anyway as i don’t have this kind of access.

Hi wfsa,

The permissions on the folder wflogs are 755 and 640 for all the files inside except for ips.php which is 644

Shouldn’t they all be 644?

I can find the owner of the files but how on earth do i find the owner responsible for plugin updates?

petkovsc, I don’t think thats the same at all. I’m not getting any 500 errors. Just php errors.

Unfortunately I’m not using W3 total cache so that doesn’t help me. I am using autoptimize and Wordfence Performance but I have turned these off and the problem persists. Also I am not using a lightbox plugin – the client doesn’t like them!

i have thread regarding this issue here:
https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/please-choose-product-options…-3?replies=13

haven’t gotten very far with it I’m afraid.

Ok thanks Mike,

I can’t pin it down to a specific variation.

Looking at the variations in the admin i can see that some one has added conflicting variations – i.e. “8mm, 10, Braid on braid splice, Mousing loop” but they have also added “8mm, 10, Any splice, Any mousing loop” Could this be causing some random errors
