Platform Information

Please share as many of the following details as possible:

  • Linux distrubution: Arch Linux
  • OS version: 5.7.12-arch1-1
  • Desktop environment: swaywm

Please check the applicable option below:

  • I'm using the latest version from git that I've manually compiled
  • I'm using the latest version of the Flatpak, downloaded from Flathub.org
  • I'm using the latest version available from AppCenter
  • I'm using a different version (please note here) : 2.4.2 from https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/vocal-git/

Additional context

Podcast with which it was tested : https://softwareengineeringdaily.com/category/podcast/feed/

opening the podcast file in browser loads redirects to a different url where the episode is served from but trying to play the same episode url (https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/sedaily/2020_07_28_Indent.mp3) in vocal causes it to crash.

commented

I'm not able to reproduce this under current master (the player seems to follow redirects with no issue), but when investigating it, I did run into a crash fixed by #469.

I can also confirm this is fixed with our new streaming backend. Marking as complete, thanks for your issue report!
