Are you sure this is a new issue?

• [X] I have confirmed this is a new issue

macOS Version

13.2.1

Your Mac

MacBook Pro M1 (14)

App Version

1.7.0

What happened?

Trying to play the podcast from this feed: http://tosidennsetu02.seesaa.net/index20.rdf (also can be found in the library as 都市伝説 オカンとボクと、時々、イルミナティ)

Results in the following:

Uh oh! There was an error playing the current episode. This can occur if the network is unavailable, permissions to the podcast directory has changed, or the media file is corrupted.

If the problem persists, please contact support with the following error:

Error: Failed to parse data; the file is malformed, or otherwise not a valid instance of an audio file of its type, or is not recognized as an audio file.

However, that Podcast plays fine in Apple Podcasts, PocketCasts, and various online players

Anything else?

This also occurs for the following podcast:　"さむいぼラジオ" (https://anchor.fm/s/4f770bec/podcast/rss) which can also be found via mimir

Looking at where Mimir holds the podcast data, the files are being downloaded. I can open and play them in Quicktime or Music:

Interestingly, the error I now see in the app has changed to:

Error: Buffer provider is not yet ready to provide buffers.

Thanks for reporting this @RawToast. I'll investigate to see why these are failing to play.
