Analytics results in episode download error

Podlove Publisher Analytics
1

When I activate Tracking URL Parameters & Analytics episode downloads fail. Neither my podcast app, nor Podlove Webplayer finds the asset anymore.
(New installation of current WP and Podlove versions)

Any ideas?

Please post the debug section of the tracking settings page and the text under “Podlove > Support”.

“Debug Tracking” is empty. Here are the system details:

Nice, Everything looks fine!

Is your mp3 asset configured as “downloadable”?

It wasn’t. Changed it and now it works. Thanks!
Is that the expected behavior?

6

Yes, but maybe the setting should be renamed to “publicly acessible” or something more generic, since it affects all access.

And possibly a warning if there are no downloadable assets at all.

/edit: after an internal discussion it turns out that’s not how it was intended. Future versions of this setting will only affect download user interfaces, not the actual ability to access the file.

Makes sense. FYI, everything was working fine with tracking disabled. But that might have been just because my assets are in the WP upload folder.
