Strange things happening
-
Last evening a couple of MP3s I had uploaded would stop playing at about 40 minutes, giving me an error message about a server problem. This morning, videos I uploaded last evening still aren’t available. The titles on some previously-posted videos have changed, and videos where I had intentionally deleted the title (and which had displayed correctly – with no title – for weeks) now all have the filename showing as the title. One post draft that was sticky is now not sticky. All of this without any intervention on my part. Any idea what’s going on?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Are you the only admin of the blog? I bet staff have set some maintenance for the holiday, but haven’t told us about it. Have you changed themes at all?

Yes, I’m the only admin. I haven’t changed themes for at least a month.
I edited the video titles on the Dec. 20 post this morning to change them back to “Part 1” and “Part 2,” as I had them originally. They had changed themselves to the video filenames overnight. It took a while, but now they are displaying correctly again. The other videos are still showing the default title, however (the filename), which I had deleted immediately after uploading each.
The first hint that something wasn’t right was last evening when the posted MP3s wouldn’t play all the way through. I had just installed Quicktime on this computer, and although I had not set it to be the default MP3 player, it nevertheless took over the playing of MP3s in Internet Explorer. I first blamed the problem on Quicktime, but after I figured out how to get WMP back as the default player for browser MP3s, it would still stop downloading about 40 minutes into each video. Then this morning these other anomalies popped up
Thanks. -
Correction in second-to-last sentence: It would stop downloading about 40 minutes into each MP3, not video.
