Hi to everyone,

I’m currently facing the same problem than this one :

> [@Pod web player doesn't play mp3 file](https://community.podlove.org/t/pod-web-player-doesnt-play-mp3-file/817):
>
> Hi for some reason the web player doesn’t play the podcast files ( mp3 )… i try all of them but none of seems to work… from the looks of it he doesn’t seem to find the mp3 file… since the player v3 has a download button i saw that the url points in the wrong directory "[https://my-fish.org/podlove/file/842/s/webplayer/c/episode/myfish-podcast-88.mp3](https://my-fish.org/podlove/file/842/s/webplayer/c/episode/myfish-podcast-88.mp3)" all the mp3s are in here [https://my-fish.org/wp-content/podcast/myfish-podcast-88.mp3](https://my-fish.org/wp-content/podcast/myfish-podcast-88.mp3) so how can i tell the web player to use the right dire…

There was no answer and I don’t know what to do. That’s why I posted it here.

I sepated the content uploaded from other files.  
I already tried to change the type of player. But nothing worked.

Hope someone can help

Can you share an URL so we see the issue in action?

It says first HTTP loading failed with 404 error. The media loading failed.  
It says then loading of all ressources failed.

Thanks for your reply @zusatzstoff

It is exactly as the player states it, it can’t find [https://cafeconscient.fr/podlove/file/3/s/webplayer/c/episode/posture-meditative.mp3](https://cafeconscient.fr/podlove/file/3/s/webplayer/c/episode/posture-meditative.mp3) I also get a 404 while trying to download it manually.

What you mean by manually? I had really really not the sense to load it manually. I followed all the steps of the tutorial available.

The content is in a folder separated also. So to be a bit more accurate, the question is why the player cannot find the ressource that is though available in a sub folder?
