Changelog - August 10, 2022
Automatic artworks for chapters
More and more podcasts show notes are now including timestamps to make it easier to listen to specific part of the episode.
Podcast Addict automatically uses these timestamp to generate chapters when no chapter is provided by the podcasters.
This new feature once enabled for a podcast (Podcast Custom settings), will automatically try to associate artwork with chapters. This can work great for podcasts reviewing movies, tv shows, video games, books, ...
Of course, the result won't be perfect, but you can then long press on a chapter artwork in the chapter list and change one of the artwork.
Please contact me if you have any issues / questions about this feature (Settings/Feedback).
