***
Invalid Media File attempting to play many a podcasts (Ask Noah Show, Linux Matters, etc.) Is this a .m4a file format thing? Probably. There is already this one but is not related to Kasts Snap package: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=470263
***

SUMMARY


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install Kasts 23.08.04 from Ubuntu's App Center (and choose the default latest / stable) - by the way the candidate one does not launch at all.
2. Search a podcast from web and add it to subscriptions 
3. Attempt to play any episode for example from Ask Noah Show

OBSERVED RESULT
"Invalid Media File" with a red type dialog on the bottom of app window.

EXPECTED RESULT
To play media succesfully as the deb package version does (App Center; but the Snap package is the default that most use). Currently the defaulted Snap package of Kasts from App Center (and Snap Store) is quite unusable.

Is this still the case with the latest version?

I can't test the snap myself, but someone else within KDE has been working on fixing some snap-related bugs for Kasts.
