Beep boop - this is a robot. A new show has been posted to TWiT…
What are your thoughts about today’s show? We’d love to hear from you!
Not sure if you changed something in the codec you use, but the high res video for this episode is 5GB, whereas similar length episodes in the pasts were in the 2.5GB range. Unfortunately PocketCasts for some reason tries to load the whole video, so it insta crashes whenever I tried to play it. Had to download the low res version.
I had a similar issue once in the past too, one episode was 2x larger out of nowhere. Not sure what’s causing it, but definitely worth taking a look into it on your eng side.

Thanks for the tip. I get this with Pocketcasts now and again, some shows crash the app on Android. Works on the Pocketcast web interface though. Also might explain why the Echo Pocketcast skill doesn’t work for these large files.
Ugh. I’ll check with the team! Sorry about that. Thanks for heads-up!
