Update on listening to Eyes On Success on VR Stream and Trek devices
Eyes On Success: Hosts Nancy and Peter Torpey
A number of listeners have reported having difficulty listening to the Eyes On Success podcast on their VR Stream devices. We communicated with our contact at Humanware about the issue and learned that the issue is with the older VR Stream gen 2 and Trek devices. Humanware reported that, unfortunately, the OS in these older devices is not capable of supporting the newer encryption methods used for streaming. Humanware has tested with the gen 3 VR devices and indicates that these work fine when listening to Eyes On Success.
Here is the complete feedback we’ve gotten from Humanware about this issue:
"We’ve fixed the URL in the HumanWare preferred podcast list. People will have to unsubscribe and resubscribe since it changed, but it should now work.
We tried off the HW playlist and it works (on Stream 3)
Unfortunately, the VRTrek and Stream 2 are on older platforms that cannot support the newer TLS 1.3 encryption, their operating system simply doesn’t have the tools to do it.
I really wish we could help, but it’s not possible."
