Description
This is mostly suspicion at this point and not confirmed, but I think shellcaster is not properly following a redirect when a podcast episode URL ends up redirecting. I'm seeing this mostly on podcasts that use omny I think? Sadly several podcasts I follow now use it making it hard on shellcaster.
I'm interested in following up to see if redirection is in fact the real issue.
For an example:
- Add Behind the Bastards:
While in Shellcaster typea, and then paste:https://omnycontent.com/d/playlist/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/E5F91208-CC7E-4726-A312-AE280140AD11/D64F756D-6D5E-4FAE-B24F-AE280140AD36/podcast.rss - Try Download with
dthe episode titled:It Could Happen Here Weekly 113 - Shellcaster will say it's downloading and then with red text say that it couldn't download the episode.
If you try to play the episode in VLC it also has a hard time playing the epsiode with error message:
Your input can't be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'https://chtbl.com/track/5899E/podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/pscrb.fm/rss/p/traffic.omny.fm/d/clips/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/78d30acb-8463-4c40-a5ae-ae2d0145c9ff/8673f262-baeb-4a0e-8841-b0ee01814c37/audio.mp3?utm_source=Podcast&in_playlist=d64f756d-6d5e-4fae-b24f-ae280140ad36'. Check the log for details.
Seeing the redirect.mp3 in the path I tried the URL in my browser and that redirected and then correctly started playing the episode. The Redirected URL is: https://26073.mc.tritondigital.com/OMNY_ITCOULDHAPPENHERE_P/media-session/4bad94f6-a8ff-446d-a74d-a2071fa1e2f5/d/clips/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/78d30acb-8463-4c40-a5ae-ae2d0145c9ff/8673f262-baeb-4a0e-8841-b0ee01814c37/audio/direct/t1704517258/It_Could_Happen_Here_Weekly_113.mp3?t=1704517258&starship-rollup=v0_214444414144&in_playlist=d64f756d-6d5e-4fae-b24f-ae280140ad36&utm_source=Podcast.
Opening this as a network stream in VLC also plays correctly, so I suspect that shellcaster would be able to download this episode as well if it was using this second link.
Thanks!
