Thanks for the explanation, I can see that now. Yes, it looks like an
error in their encoder as the content length is accurate. Also if I
use exiftool on a downloaded version of the file, it reports very
slightly different size values (but equally problematic!) as LMS :
Code:
--------------------
Media Time Scale : 22050
Media Duration : 3:00:00
Media Language Code : und
Handler Type : Audio Track
Handler Description : SoundHandler
Balance : 0
Audio Format : mp4a
Audio Channels : 2
Audio Bits Per Sample : 16
Audio Sample Rate : 22050
Movie Data Size : 63182628
Movie Data Offset : 931550
Avg Bitrate : 46.8 kbps
--------------------
So, in all in all, we know why its failing, but unless I can open up a
dialogue with them, we can't really do anything about this (without
opening up other potential problems), as these streams work on their
website and in their app which is probably the only places they care
about.
