Player screen UX/UI work

Not without the chapter-view obstructing time increment navigation, right?

Part of the redesigned player screen would be to have both options accessible at the same time.

You just press the “next chapter” button, so it is already possible:

How can users see which chapter they are switching to and what current chapter is called? They can’t. So they open the chapters view, which then obstructs forward | backward time jump buttons.

This three year old bug has a screenshot of how another podcast player solves this problem:

How to resolve the issue:

Does that make sense? I am slightly surprised to have this discussion many years after the issue was filed for this rather straight forward UX issue.

Hello, I just discovered and started using AntennaPod, coming from Pocket Casts. So far it’s awesome, great work on this. There is one thing that I miss though and that’s a way to mark the current podcast episode as played directly from the playing screen. Would it be possible to perhaps make the “playback speed” button configurable in settings to some other function? Like switch it to “mark current played”? For my use, I never change the speed so it’s a wasted button for me.

I don’t see any way to edit my previous message so I’m just replying again. I’ve since discovered that the setting “keep skipped skipped episodes“ turned off solves my specific issue, as if I skip an episode I have no interest in returning to it.

However, I still like the idea of making the playback speed button configurable in function if possible since each person will have different needs.
