I’m coming from Player.fm where the playback controls have this format:
Prev: Go to previous Podcast
Long Press Prev: Skip back x seconds
Next: Go to next Podcast
Long Press Next: Skip forward y seconds
This was useful because I could use bluetooth controls in a similar manner in my car (I only have a button to go back and a button to go forward).
When I wanted to skip ahead by 30 seconds, I could just press and hold the next button. If I wanted to go to the next podcast in the list, I could just tap the next button.
Similarly, I sort my podcasts by download date. But, I try to leave the cerebral podcasts for listening during workouts. When I wanted to go to the previous podcast, I would just tap the previous button. If I missed an insight, I would press and hold previous to rewind.
How can I do this with AntennaPod?
I tried to look for existing requests similar to what I’m going to ask but I only found this one:
I use Antennapod primarily while riding my motorcycle and only have control via Bluetooth.
I have the same question as the OP and have searched extensively for any discussion matching the issue and I as well could only find those related to using multiple BT button presses and /or wired headset controls. To an inexperienced idiot like me, the function I am seeking seems like basic functionality.
Currently one can assign one single function to each of a headsets back and forward buttons. However, I require the ability to both SEEK (ff and rw) and SKIP (previous and next tracks).
I don’t mind having to use an extra app such as Key Mapper, however AP treats both skip and ff commands as the same thing, so as far as I can tell there is no way to perform ALL of the following functions via headset/BT controls:
Play/pause
Rewind/jump back
Fast forward/jump forward
Skip to previous track
Skip to next track
Does this functionality exist and I just can’t figure it out?
Does it not exist and nobody else needs it?
Does it not exist and probably never will?
I would be happy to open a polite and respectful feature request, but just want to make sure I have some info first. Thank you.
