Status bar? The button bar at the bottom?

My guess is that once you look at the metadata, this will be working correctly and as designed. We do not put a progress bar on tracks that don't have duration in the metadata.

yes I meant "progress bar"

This might be related to the display being stuck on some value, lack of new meta data (bug 15499)

dag - the missing progress bar is due to missing duration information in the channel/episode. See eg. this metadata I just got back:

{
  duration => "00:00:00.4616271",
  episodeResponse => {
        episode => [

                   ],
        status  => "ok",
      },
  status => "ok",
}

duration => "00:00:00.4616271" can be considered 0.

Dag, is this our bug to fix? 

If we don't get a duration in the metadata we can use, then we are doing the right thing by not displaying a progress bar. It's impossible to display a UI for progress if we don't have the necessary data...

Mediafly doesn't provide duration so we have to parse the actual podcast mp3 and try to work it out ourselves.  For some files we can't determine the bitrate and thus can't determine the duration.  The best fix for this would be for Mediafly to do this on their end.

yes there's nothing you can do about this, so I am closing.

thanks
