All the sermon files are no longer available. They were all working but now I get this error.
All the sermons are on another hosting so I'm using Enter an URL: If I copy the URL into the the browser it will go to the audio and play, so the link is good.
Our sermon page is http://stmarkreformed.org/sermons/
We have both private and public sermons. The private sermons are only available if you are logged in and have the correct user type assigned to you.

My first guess is that another plugin is interfering with Sermon Browser. Did you recently install another plugin? To test for this, deactivate all of your other plugins, and test to see if Sermon Browser is working again. If it is, activate your other plugins one at a time, and test Sermon Browser after each one is activated.
Please let us know what you find out.

Hi sachmo,
If Ben's answer hasn't helped, and you want us to test this with our copies of Sermon Browser, pls give us the details of an example which is failing, including:
- the URL of the actual MP3 file, and
- the date of the sermon.
If you don't want to give the real URL, copy one of the MP3s to a temporary directory, link your Sermon Browser to it, and give us the above mentioned details for that example.
This should help us to isolate the cause.

Hi,
I've got the same problem. I've recently upgraded the site to WP 3.
I've done a new install of Sermon Browser, installed Audio Player.
Audio Player gives file not found when I click on play.
I tried disabling all other plugins but it makes no difference.
Could it be that Audio Player isn't officially compatible with WP 3?

Hi Gary,
I tested your MP3 URL and it worked fine with SB 0.43.5 with Audio Player 2.0b6 and WP 2.9.2, as you probably expected.
I'm out of touch with SB, but I see Mark has made comments about WP 3 compatibility here:
http://www.4-14.org.uk/forum/s…..evelopment
but he doesn't say there what versions are supposed to be WP 3 compatible, but maybe it is a problem of Audio Player compatibility as you suggest.
Sorry I can't be of more help.

Gary, although I'm not using WP 3 with Sermon Browser yet, I know some other people are using WP 3 with success.
Here is something you can check first. In the WordPress control panel under Sermons, Options: what do you have for "Upload folder"? For your site, it should be:
/wp-content/uploads/sermons/
Don't forget the slash at the beginning.
Please let us know if that worked or not.

Hi, Ben
I checked the options for sermon browser (0.43.5), there is a slash at the beginning. I also checked the Default audio folder location for audio player (2.0.4.1), it's the same except audio player removes the last slash when you update the settings.

It looks like the plug in is adding 2 urls, the second is the onsite link to the file
the file is at http://michaelangelodv.com/ser….._23_10.mp3

If you look at the source code for the audio player on sachmo's site, the a tag has the following code:
which obviously has two https. Why is the first one there at all?

sachmo & garyh357, I can explain. When you add a sermon in Sermon Browser, there are two different ways you can point to the audio file. If the audio file is in the specified "Upload folder" (typically /wp-content/uploads/sermons/), you just specify the filename. If the audio file is somewhere else, such as another server (which is the case for sachmo), you can specify the URL. The download link does not point directly to the MP3 file; instead, it uses a sermon browser function to go get the file. That is why you see a URL that looks like:
…?download&url=http://michaelangelodv.com…
Why doesn't Sermon Browser link directly to the URL? I don't know. But it does work on Rich Brown's site at http://sermons.aisquith.org/
Perhaps something changed with the permissions on michaelangelodv.com that will no longer allow this to work. For example, if there is now some policy in place that prevents hotlinking of images, it could also affect this functionality. This would also break the Audio Player.

Nothing has changed on the WordPress site, nothing has changed on the server site. What was working is now not working. Like I said if you just place the link to the sermon in a browser it will play via browser. The audio player within WP is also fine. The issue is isolated to Sermon Browser pointing to sermons that are not on the local WP server.
FWIW – this forum's text is getting cut off on the right side using Safari 5 and FireFox 3.5

Hey guys, I appreciate your input on all of this and have been looking at all the posts regarding this topic and haven't found a solution.
I built a Wordpress site for a church http://www.redemptioncitychurch.com and am using the Sermon Browser 0.43.5 with Audio Player 2.0.4.1 on Wordpress 2.9. It all worked great for almost 2 months and randomly (around June 27th-ish) all the sermons now say "File Not Found" when trying to play. The download button works, the link to files are up, just won't play (tested in Firefox, Safari, and Chrome).
We aren't playing them locally but streaming from a Podbean, but nothing changed in between the time that it was working without trouble and the time it stopped working. Any help or direction would be fantastic as they'd like it working again. Thanks!

Sorry folks — I am a banker, and I play at being a webmaster because nobody else will do it.
That being said, I am using a full URL to my MP3s but they are housed within my same domain. I do it this way because of how I organize our files (there are over 1300 of them, so I arrange them in directories by year).

Does anyone else have an issue reading this post
lines of text are being cut off on the right side.
Seems like jspinny has the same problem. It also seems
like it is the double link that SB is generating. Don't see
how that cannot be a problem.

Hi jspinny,
When I view source on your Sermons page, for the July 11, 2010 sermon, I see the 'td class="files"' tag looks like this (I've added a few line breaks for clarity):
<span style="display:block;padding:5px;border:1px solid #dddddd;background:#f8f8f8"
id="audioplayer_1">Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip.
Download the latest version here.
You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.</span>
</p></td>
Ours, on the other hand, looks like this:
<span style="display:block;padding:5px;border:1px solid #dddddd;background:#f8f8f8"
id="audioplayer_1">Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip.
Download the latest version here.
You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.</span>
<script type="text/javascript">AudioPlayer.embed("audioplayer_1", {soundFile:"http%3A%2F%2Favalonbaptist.org.nz
%2Fwp%2Fmedia%2F%3Fshow%26url%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fabc.tospeirs.net%252Fsermons%252FABC_Sermon_2010-07-11.mp3"});
</script></p></td>
So your version seems to be missing the entire 'script' tag, which is what links to the audio.
It looks as if most of the above HTML (my version at least) is generated by the following section (starting at line 511) of this program:
…/wp-content/plugins/audio-player/audio-player.php:
// Not in a feed so return player widget
$playerElementID = "audioplayer_" . $this->playerID;
$playerCode = '<p class="audioplayer_container"><span style="display:block;padding:5px;border:1px solid #dddddd;background:#f8f8f8" id="' . $playerElementID . '">' . sprintf(__('Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.', $this->textDomain), 'http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash&promoid=BIOW');
$playerCode .= '</span><script type="text/javascript">';
$playerCode .= 'AudioPlayer.embed("' . $playerElementID . '", ' . $this->php2js($playerOptions) . ');';
$playerCode .= '</script></p>';
return $playerCode;
}
Please post that section of code from your audio-player.php file, so we can compare it.
We haven't had a problem playing our sermons. We use the "Enter an URL:" option, store our audio on a different server, and the versions of software we're running are listed in my last post. Our site is still in development, and you can see it here: http://www.avalonbaptist.org.nz/wp/media
BTW, is the "UDPATES" heading on the home page meant to be spelt that way, or should it be the more traditional "UPDATES"?
Hi sachmo,
Yes, in Firefox 3.0.5 some of the words in most posts of this thread don't wrap, so I can't read them, depending on the text size I'm viewing at (View > Zoom > Reset, View > Zoom > Zoom Text Only, then making it smaller seems to work). However, no such problem in IE 6 (no ability to change the size of that kind of font in IE 6 though).

Tel7, the reason your Audio Player code looks different than jspinny's code is that you are using different versions of Audio Player. You are using the 2.0 beta version. After 2.0 came out of beta, Audio Player started using a different method of pointing to the audio file. It is encoded so that it obscures the URL of the audio file. It makes it a pain to troubleshoot, but it works.
What we can see is that both Tel7 and jspinny are storing their audio files in a domain that is different than their WordPress installation. When you look at the "Download" link, they are both constructed the same way; but Tel7's download link works, and jspinny's does not. So I think we can eliminate the Audio Player plugin as the problem, as the download link has nothing to do with that plugin.
I don't have any answers for you right now, but maybe this will help point someone in the right direction.

Good call Ben about being different versions of audio player.
Tel7 – what an eye on the "UDPATES" title. I can't believe that got past myself as well as the 100's of other people who have visited the site. As for the problem, if it were an embed issue than I think we'd have issues even seeing the audio player so I tend to agree with Ben about ruling that out.
Let me know if you guys come up with any solutions, I'll keep searching as well. If you need anything from me (code wise, jumping high five wise) let me know. Thanks I really appreciate it!

Thanks Ben for that info – you've saved us some time.
jspinny, if you'd like to try linking to one of our sermons to help to isolate this problem, try this one (which works with our WP environment – I just tested it):
http://abc.tospeirs.net/tmp/AB…..-09-13.mp3
If that works for you, then I guess it's an issue with the server that holds your MP3s.
Let us know how you get on with it.

I have several issue that are not being addressed. I don't want to sound ungrateful
but I would appreciate it, if we could try to solve my problems since I'm the OP.
I tried that link and I got the File not found.
The problem seems to be the 2
being placed in the code. Why is this happening if you are using URL?
Also I cannot read these post, a good bit of the text is cut off, if I hit the print button
I get nothing. Is there another way to view these post?
Thanks

Hi sachmo,
It's so good to finally meet an OP. What is an OP, anyway?
If you're saying you tried my link and it didn't work, then I have no more ideas at this stage.
Ben has already explained why there are 2 URLs.
What versions of WP, SB and Audio Player are you running?
Regarding viewing the posts, yes it is pretty bad. Did you see my comment about using IE 6? It might work in later versions of IE, too. What browsers have you tried?
Otherwise, you can copy and paste paragraphs into
Notepad or whatever, and read them from there, I guess.
