Errors

Audio too large to preview

Inline audio preview is capped (~100 MiB); use a normal download link instead.

Audio too large to preview

The browser audio preview endpoint refused the file because it is over the inline preview size cap (about 100 MiB). Message asks you to create a download link instead.

Why this happens

/…/audio-preview streams for in-page players and hard-limits size to protect memory and abuse. Full file download still works under normal download rules. Image/video/document previews have their own size caps with similar wording.

Diagnose and fix

1. Member/visitor: use Download / create a download link — do not rely on the preview player.

2. Admin: no setting raises this cap today (code constant).

3. Optional UX: hide download on MP3 preview settings do not change this size limit.

4. For huge audio, prefer direct download / CDN paths over preview.
