I'm having 'Internal player: unknown error...' messages when trying to listen to a podcast
If you have an 'Internal player: unknown error...' message when trying to play an episode with Podcast Addict internal player, it can be because of one of the following issue:
- Network issue in case of streaming
- Corrupted/Truncated downloaded file (can be a podcast server issue or a Player issue)
- Android unsupported format (missing codecs?)
- Unsupported characters in the downloaded file name
The app uses Google EXOPlayer engine by default since v4.6
If you experience an error with one specific episode/podcast it might be a compatibility issue or a corrupted file issue,
but if you're having this issue with every episode/podcast, it might indicate that the player engine service crashed. In that case rebooting the device might fix this issue.
In case this issue looks like a compatibility problem, you can try changing the player engine used by the app in
Settings/Player/Audio
If playback still fails, please send me an
email with the following information:
- Android version
- Are you streaming or playing a downloaded file
- Podcast feed url (long press on the podcast, select 'Copy url to clipboard' and paste the result in the email)
- Episode name
Thanks
