Podcast App 1.2, Duration Detection not Detecting

Hello!

I’ve just installed version 1.2 of the Podcast App, and all seems mostly cool — the defaults for file location, local/remote, and resource bucket now "stick", yay!

However, while testing this upgrade I found that duration detection no longer seems to work. I tested deleting and then re-adding an episode that worked previously, the file size successfully is detected, but duration is not.

I was hesitant to post this to the forums because I am intentionally not running the most current version of Perch. I’ve held off upgrading this month because my client's site relies heavily upon the use of radio buttons and I’ve confirmed for myself on a staging copy of their site that upgrading to version 2.8.23 causes problems.

I am, however, running version 2.8.18, which I believe is the minimum requirement for the Podcast App. So, I thought it best to report this issue, anyway.

The duration auto-detect is not a deal breaker, I will likely launch this to production, anyway. Because the audio player in the admin interface displays the duration (in only MM:SS mind you, not HH) that value can be copied and entered manually by the user. But, there is a risk of user error which makes me a bit queasy since duration is part of the information that is sent to iTunes via RSS.

I’ve attached my diagnostics:
