Episode Chapters Not Updating in App When Chapters Added After Episode Published
-
iOS, Pocket Cast version 7.63.1
Some shows use chapters through RSS, but add the chapters after the episode has been published/released (so chapters are usually created by the next day). I have not seen these episodes actually update the chapters in Pocket Casts once they have been added to the episode. An example for testing would be the No Agenda show. They publish shows every Sunday and Thursday evening (Eastern timezone) and chapters don’t get added/created until usually the next morning.

Thank you for your feedback on this! I’ve gone ahead and forwarded this along to our developers, so they can take it into consideration when refining the chapters feature going forward.

Bump. I have the same problem. I am assuming it depends on when the episode was downloaded because I have no chapters on my iPhone, some chapters on my iPad, All chapters on the desktop (which streams and doesn’t download). And even after some days, they are not updated. I have even tried deleting the episode and redownloading it with no change.
