Podcast playback: Unable to estimate transcoded size

Postby knopperhopper » Sat Jan 17, 2015 2:36 pm

Hi,
i am really happy with subsonic, but i cann not work around one problem. I listen to a dj-set from above and beyond as itunes podcast (http://static.aboveandbeyond.nu/grouptherapy/podcast.xml)
the files are successfully downloaded and work when i acces them with a local player (e.g vlc) but if i want to stream it - nothing happens

Problem Description: I listen to a dj-live set from above and beyond as itunes podcast (http://static.aboveandbeyond.nu/grouptherapy/podcast.xml)

this are the log entries:

if i listen to a different podcast, everything works:

I think, maybe the length of the podcast could maybe thw problem, because the shorter ones work.

hope any of you girls/guys has an idea.
Thanks

In the meantime I found a workaround:
I just deleted the .m4a file type from the transcoding string. Now I can playback the files.
