    I want to use Castbox when posting and embedding new Podcast Episodes.

    Problem is, this will cause the Podcast Player to stop working when you press the play button.

    Is there a way to get Castbox to work with the Podcast Player?

    Here's a Podcast I've posted with Castbox: https://darknessprevails.org/podcast/episode-example-soundcloud/

    Hi

    3 things:

    1) You can use Castbox in the podcast player as long as you have access to the .m4a file provided by CastBox. That will be your stream link.

    2) You will need to disable the spectrum analyzer:

    We support these streaming servers along with our real-time spectrum soundwave:
    - Local MP3
    - Icecast
    - Libsyn
    - Stitcher
    - Shoutcast
    - Mixcloud
    - Amazon S3
    - or any web server that you control the .htaccess.

    We support these streaming servers but you will need to deactivate the Real-Time Spectrum Analyzer (wp-admin > theme options > general settings. See screenshot: https://d.pr/i/61Itlr
    Podbean
    SoundCloud Podcasts
    Buzzsprout
    Simplecast
    Spreaker
    Audioboom
    CastBox

    You cannot stream directly from:
    Spotify
    SoundCloud Music
    Apple Podcast
    Google Podcast
    YouTube



    3) You have an issue with your JetPack plugin. see this article: https://sonaar.ticksy.com/article/14891

    Thanks,
