This should be working again now. Please try again and let us know if you're still seeing any issues.

It is working now! Thank you for fixing this.

 

As for m4b, it should have "audio/mp4" content-type

    Hi Greg-DB, would it be possible to fix content-type for m4b format?

    abiluck The request for that is still open with the team, but I don't have any news on that right now. I'll follow up here with any update on that.
