When will you implement chaptermarks in the web player?

The best option would probably to replace it with the @podlove player.

@benjaminbellamy @podlove does the Podlove player support Podcasting 2.0 chapters?

@dwev @podlove I think it does not. Hence some code refactoring to do.

@benjaminbellamy oh, that looks like it’s _almost_ the same as PC2.0 chapters , just with different node names (start for startTime, href for url, image for img) and the times are not in seconds. It’s a shame it can’t use the same file out of the box, but I guess that’s what Open Source is for! :) @podlove would you accept a PR that added support for the PC2.0 :pc2black: chapter format?

@dwev @benjaminbellamy sure, if the existing format still works go for it :) I would like to reiterate that the player itself is agnostic to the implementation system. That is the only way to enable all of the different platforms to use it.

@dwev @benjaminbellamy Btw. we introduced the Podlove Simple Chapters 12 years ago, it is supported by a lot of systems already so one could argue why not supporting this format instead? podlove.org/simple-chapters/ (we also took part in the discussions about the PC2.0 Chapters Spec).

@podlove @benjaminbellamy Rather than support multiple namespaces and standards, I feel it’s better to focus on one to reduce confusion for publishers. From my perspective, there is significant growing traction in support for the rich podcast namespace, which includes a chapters feature with additional functionality over the psc version.
