Pretty sure WAN podcast is broken

[Ravendarat]

I’ve been trying to load the podcast on my IPhone for this last fridays show and it keeps just trying to load for like 30 seconds then fails saying it’s unavailable. Pretty sure it’s broken. Just giving a heads up and didn’t know where to post it

[Zenfafrd]

Yup, me too. On Overcast. Both the Wan Show and TechLinked won't download.

[smathead]

Same

[NotMySupervisor]

Yeah it's definitely broken. It never finishes buffering and always fails to download

 

Is there a reason why podcasts are uploaded days after the YouTube upload?

 

I'm using the Google podcasts app btw

Same problem here, I looked a bit further into it and it seems Anchor is having a problem:

Connecting to production-origin.anchor.fm (production-origin.anchor.fm)|52.200.1.165|:443... failed: Operation timed out.

You guys can download? That option isn't even available on Android as far as I can tell. (On the Anchor app and website)

I get a new error message now: 404 File not found

I used Overcast for iOS, and for my tests I also tried to download the MP3-file to my Mac straight out of the podcast RSS feed

AFAIK they are made specifically afterwards. YouTube and all other video platforms get direct streaming that goes through service and is just saved there. So WAN is not even uploaded per say, it's streamed directly to all three major platforms.

Same. Cannot download or stream any WAN old or new using any app on Android. Get a anchor.fm error

So it's not an issue that LMG can do anything about, then. It's an Overcast issue.

LMG uploads to Anchor. Apps that can download files on other platforms are totally unrelated and unsupported. They can't offer support for that.

Because listening to the podcast on Anchor itself seems to work just fine, meaning it's not an Anchor issue.
If Anchor decided to update their stuff to prevent third party streams/download(or if LMG enabled a setting?), that's up to them and for your app's dev to figure out a way around it.

Have you tried using Anchor itself though? It works just fine for me to stream it. Just can't download it.

Most likely all third party podcast app I'd say from what I understand of this thread thus far.
Anchor itself works fine, but others are met with errors, its the logical assumption to make.

I only wondered because we all know apple likes to control everything so it would seem weird for them to depend on anyone else for functionality of one of their core apps on their devices. But what you said does make total sense

[AxelV]

Aaand it's fixed!

I just tried playing the latest episode again using Overcast, and it's working just fine now.
