Podcast App 1.3 — File size auto-detect not auto-detecting

Hello!

It’s been about a year since I posted about the Podcast App not auto-detecting duration of episodes. After updating a Perch installation and all the attendant add-ons to current versions in May, I thought to check and see if this was still an issue. Good news is, duration is now auto-detecting! Bad news is that file size is not (it was before) — just a "1" shows up in the file size field after saving the episode. The podcast file I’m attempting to add is an m4a, but I tested the auto-detect with an mp3-formatted podcast file and had the same result.

This is not a critical bug for my client, they haven't posted a new podcast in some time and weren’t displaying file size, anyway. But this might be an annoying/disconcerting bug for someone else managing podcast information. File size is not as straightforward to intuit and manually add, if needed, unlike duration. And any manual entry of this type of information can introduce user error. I’m not sure if iTunes relies on this information.

Here is my custom template code. I note that there is no field here for file size, but there isn't a field for file size in the stock template that came with the app, either.
