Audio From Embedded URL Suddenly Not Working
-
Hi,
I use my blog for podcasts. I host the audio on Archive.org, and there has never, ever been a problem with pasting the hosted audio’s URL into the “Embed Audio From URL” tab under “Add Media”.
Prior to today, it would always come up with a preview of the playback box before I hit “Insert”, but today it has only showed a box saying “Link Text”. I have tried it again and again, even with audio I have successfully used the exact same way in the past, and it is not working.When I look at my post (again, I have done all the steps correctly) at https://pastorsmiddlekid.wordpress.com/2017/06/25/64-pastors-kids-with-jeremy-barry-randall/ , the embedded player does not play the audio.
Here is the link to the hosted audio MP3: http://ia601502.us.archive.org/11/items/Episode64PastorsKidswithJeremyBarryRandall/Episode%2064%20-%20Pastor’s%20Kids%20(with%20Jeremy%20Barry%20Randall).mp3
This has never been a problem. What is wrong?
Thanks for your help.

Hi, @pastorsmiddlekid,
I just visited your site. I see the playback controls but there is no mp3 at the link you have listed. I get a Page Not Found Error. Maybe the audio file isn’t there or the link is off. Check that and let me know.
I hope this helps.

Since I posted that I actually changed the URL (by re-uploading it and deleting the old file), so that would be why it doesn’t work. Try this one:
[audio src="http://ia601501.us.archive.org/24/items/Episode64PastorsKidswithJeremyBarryRandall_201706/Episode%2064%20-%20Pastor’s%20Kids%20(with%20Jeremy%20Barry%20Randall).mp3" /] -
Gotcha. I can get to that one.
And that new link is on the post you are trying to upload it to? I took a quick look at your new episode 64 post html, and the link looks different.
That link you just posted, I can get to, so I would retry with the link to the newly uploaded file.
If you continue to have the same issue, type modlook into the Tags section on the right-side for a staff member to take a look at this.
How do I get a Moderator/Staff reply for my question?
Some issues require staff member help. If you see or add a thread that you know needs staff intervention, you can add the modlook tag to the tags area of the thread to make sure we see it.I hope this helps.

For some reason it is suddenly working again. No idea why it glitched out in the first place, but it’s fine now.
Thanks for helping out. Hopefully this doesn’t happen again. And if it does, I will just wait a few days. :) -
Great news that it is working. If it happens again, and you check all of the links, feel free to reach out again.
