New Features Player Podcast
Gb should create new features in the podcast player. Currently there is only the option to play and go to the next track.
By adding new features inspired by those offered by apps such as amazon music, spotify or deezer, we can make the app more engaging for the user and increase its usability.
A thousand thanks

Hi Luca, This is what you asked for. Play and next track were indeed all the player had, and your sound section can now run a Podcast player instead: skip back and skip forward inside the episode with the interval you set, playback speed from 0.5x to 3x, and a sleep timer with an "End of episode" entry. Playback also resumes where your listener stopped, and a started episode shows the time left in the list instead of its full length. You set the whole thing in your section design, on the detail screen: Modify the design, then Sound page, then the Player block. The choice is made section by section, so a section of playlists can keep the Music player while your podcasts run the new one. The three controls are independent too: a player with skip intervals alone, no speed and no timer, is a valid setup for short segments. Two things to know: the sleep timer is native, so it does not run on the PWA, and your listeners will only see any of this after a new generation of your app. The full detail is here: https://www.goodbarber.com/blog/podcast-player-the-controls-… Thanks for naming Spotify and Deezer rather than just asking for more features. Pointing at the reference is what makes a request actionable.
