Metacast v1.24: Global speed control, mini-player progress, stability of audio

Released on

New features

  • Global speed control. You can now set the default speed for all episodes instead of choosing it each time. Open the speed control in the player and toggle "Play all episodes at..." You can still adjust the speed per episode if you'd like.
  • Progress in the mini-player. You can now see the progress of the currently playing episode when the player is minimized. Look for a subtle progress bar underneath the episode title in the "drawer".
  • Add private RSS feeds with a single tap. You can now use "deep-link" URLs to add private feeds to Metacast. Create a URL or QR-code in this format: https://open.metacast.app/add-rss-feed?feedUrl=URL_GOES_HERE (the feedUrl can be URL-encoded or not). When you tap the URL on a mobile phone, the link will open in Metacast where you can follow it. If you're a podcaster distributing private feeds, please add links to Metacast to your site to help your Metacast listeners. Learn more in Add private RSS feeds to Metacast with a single tap.
