Podcast GB block does not load or play file on WP 5.3.2

[Waka867]

Describe the bug On post view, preview, and blog listing pages, gutenberg podcast block does not play, no console errors shown. Time shows 0:00/0:00 and podcast doesn't load, file plays when added on the edit page. Adding conventional audio block works fine. Server php/apache error logs show no errors on day or even week of test. Tried checking what was referenced here and found the same situation: adding an audio file block has the correct

Steps to Reproduce

1. Go to simple podcast plugin admin page
2. Add new podcast
3. Create a new post
4. Add new podcast block
5. Add or upload podcast file (here the podcast file should play correctly)
6. Add new audio block
7. add or upload audio file
8. In right hand side menu click document, then under podcasts dropdown assign to your created podcast
9. Click Update at the top right
10. Click view post at the top of the page
11. Audio block should play correctly while podcast block does not.

Expected behavior Podcast block should load and play file much like how the audio block does

Thanks for the testing and bug report @Waka867! I've milestoned this issue for our next minor release. If you're able to work on a PR to resolve this, then I'd gladly get it through review and into the release. Thanks again!

Tested this issue today:

• The issue occurs if we add a new post > add a podcast block > Select a podcast from the library > Save > Reload the browser > See the empty podcast block.
• Then we select a podcast for that empty block above > Save > Reload > See the block with the selected podcast > No Error 🤨
• There is another way to reproduce this issue is: add a new post > add a podcast block > Select a podcast from the library > hit ⇧⌥⌘M see the empty podcast block as in code editor > hit ⇧⌥⌘M again, see the podcast block as the screenshot above.
• I tested with the master version of Gutenberg, then no error occurs 🧐except an issue in our Edit component (see: https://github.com/10up/simple-podcasting/blob/develop/assets/js/edit.js#L36-L46) which remove the podcast id when switching between block and code editor.

Update: some time in my test, click on Media Library button > I can choose all media types, not just audio as expected. Update: after build the js file again, the media library issue is fixed.

If I'm understanding this correctly, it sounds like the latest version of Gutenberg resolves this issue. Which means the next major release of WP 5.4 that bundles this Gutenberg version should ensure things are back functioning as expected. If that's accurate, then we may just let this ride until March 31st when WP 5.4 is scheduled to be released. We'll want to test against the betas/RCs for 5.4 to see that things work as expected then.

In terms of being able to select more than just audio files for the podcast block, that should probably be in a separate issue that we can address with a related PR. @dinhtungdu, if I'm understanding your test results accurately, could you open that issue please? If I'm not understanding things, could you please clarify? Thanks!

@jeffpaul This issue has been fixed with #77. I had that issue because the dist files didn't get rebuilt in #77, that PR only updated the source file.

@Waka867 with WP 5.4 released, can you re-test this scenario to see if this issue still exists with Simple Podcasting and WordPress 5.4?

[Waka867]

Yes, I just might not be able to get to it today.

[Waka867]

Sorry, just to update I will likely not be able to get to this. I'm working remotely for an essential company that is getting slammed.

[jeffpaul]

@Waka867 no problem, stay safe!

This seems fixed to me as of WP 5.4.2.
