Metacast v1.28: Next-gen transcripts, Android Auto, playback speed fix

Released on

Transcripts

  • Speaker detection and more in next-gen transcripts! Non-speech segments like music, noise, and applause are now labeled with a subtle pulsing animation to make them visually distinct from speech.
  • Better offline handling. Opening a transcript without network now shows a clear "offline" message instead of an infinite loading spinner.
  • More resilient loading. Transcript loading is more reliable on flaky network connections.

Android Auto

  • Playlists in Android Auto. Continue Listening, Following, and Downloads are now available directly from your car's display.
  • Fixed app startup. The app no longer gets stuck on the splash screen when launching from Android Auto.

Player

  • Per-episode playback speed fix. Speed settings now correctly persist when switching between episodes (e.g., 1.5x for one podcast stays at 1.5x next time you play it).

Under the hood

  • A bunch of upgrades for a stable and secure experience.
