I'm seeing download errors
Download errors have various causes, and the app indicates this if you access the episode detail screen.
Usually, such errors happen because the publisher's server is down, though it might also be due to a connection error. Sometimes, it occurs if you're connected to wi-fi (e.g., at an internet cafe), but you forgot or failed to log in to its portal.
Another possible cause would be that the episode file has been taken down or moved to another location by the publisher. Player FM will normally retry downloading periodically and will also update episode URLs from the publisher's feed, in case they have changed.
To understand more about the problem, you may tap the 3-dot menu on the top right of the episode detail screen. Then, tap Info or Links..., and access the raw episode file and see if you're able to open or download it directly.
Meanwhile, storage problems may also result in download errors. Thus, please check if you have sufficient storage space. For Android devices, ensure your SD card is properly mounted in case you're using it for storing your downloads.
If you've determined downloading should work fine now, you can tap the Downloaded status label on the episode detail screen (currently available on Player FM Android) and hit Re-download to try downloading the episode again.
