Useful details to include​

Depending on the issue, these details help us diagnose faster:

For episode issues​

  • Expected publish date/time
  • Show name
  • Whether it was auto-generated or manually uploaded

For player issues​

  • Player URL you're accessing
  • Browser and version (e.g., Chrome 120, Safari 17)
  • Device (e.g., iPhone 15, Windows 11 laptop)
  • Screenshot of the issue
  • Browser console errors (F12 → Console tab)

For widget issues​

  • Your website URL where the widget is embedded
  • The embed code you're using
  • Browser console errors

  • Your RSS feed URL

Common self-service fixes​

Before contacting support, these quick checks resolve most issues:

  • Refresh the page — clears local state and re-fetches data
  • Clear browser cache — resolves stale CSS/JS issues
  • Check show is published — unpublished shows hide all their episodes
  • Check feature toggles — Player Settings has toggles for schedule, search, shows, etc.
  • Wait 2–5 minutes — RSS feeds regenerate every 2 minutes; API caches refresh within 30–60 seconds
  • Check the dashboard — most issues are visible in the episode list, show settings, or stream settings
