we had difficulty downloading episodes from your feed

Hi,


I've been trying to submit our podcast feed but have been getting the error: we had difficulty downloading episodes from your feed.


The URL is http://kalihiunion.org/sermons/?podcast.


I've validated the feed: http://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=http%3A//kalihiunion.org/sermons/%3Fp odcast


Episodes are live and appearing well on our site. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?


Thank you in advance.

The URL given for the media file in your top episode is


http://kalihiunion.org/sermons/?show&file_name=2015-05-24%20Steeper%20-%20Hearin g%20in%20our%20own%20language.MP3


This calls a php script which redirects to the actual file URL:


http://kalihiunion.org/wp-content/uploads/sermons/2015-05-24%20Steeper%20-%20Hea ring%20in%20our%20own%20language.MP3


Although the first URL works in a browser and when subscribing in iTunes, it may well not work in the Store and you would do better to use the direct URL. The server does accept the mandatory 'byte range requests' (the method used by iPhones) so you should be OK if you do this for all your files.
