I've started to get into podcasts for an hour and a half commute every day and really enjoy the idea of radio on demand.
I have a number of shows I subscribe to using Podkicker, which I have found to be a great app as it will search for, download and queue new podcasts on starting the app.
But I have been having trouble with 1 podcast. The address is Tuesday Morning Football
The feed is a UK based American football show with new shows uploaded every Tuesday.
The show is recorded in stereo (I have confirmed this with the show producers via twitter). When the stream starts and the opening backing track plays audio is in stereo, but the audio is crackly. When the main body of the show starts with presenters voices only I can only hear the audio from the left channel. Any pre-recorded backing tracks through the rest of the show are again in stereo, but crackly and distorted.
Now here's the strange bit. It ONLY happens on my S II. And it ONLY happens to THIS stream. I have other podcasts I subscribe to and no others do it. Another did start off the same way weeks ago but no longer is affected by this.
A quick bullet list
.Only this one stream is affected
.Its only affected on my S II
.I have tried it on a HTC CHACHA and a T-mobile Vivacity and both had no problems with the audio
.I have tried it on a Win 7 pc and the audio is fine.
.I have tried a hard reset of the phone.
.I have tried downloading via browser and via Podicker both before and after the hard reset but there is no difference to the audio, I still get the same problem on my phone.
.I have used Podkicker to both download the podcast and stream it directly from source, no difference
Could it be the phone?
Music, FM Radio, Internet Radio, YouTube, Sky TV all sound fine
Could it be the headphones?
I have tried 6 sets all with the same result, and all other audio sounds fine
Could it be the Podkicker app?
All other podcasts sound fine
Could it be the stream?
The stream is fine on other devices
Could it be the source?
Ive downloaded other podcasts from feedburner and they were fine.
The other podcasts I listen to are
.Americarnage (this one suffered the same fault but no longer does)
.BBC R2 Chris Evans Breakfast Show
.BBC R2 Graham Norton
.BBC R2 Simon Mayo Confessions
.NFLUK Inside The Huddle
.NFL Rants and Raves
.Rich Eisen
.Sports Illustrated Peter King
.KNBR Murph & Mac Morning Show
I am wondering if anyone can help me out by trying the podcast on their II, the podcast is either 23 or 33 meg in case you are thinking of downloading over 3g, and let me know if anyone experiences the same problem, or if anyone can thing of a possible cause to the problem and a possible solution.
Cheers
