Feature Request: Custom skip forward & back controls for individual podcasts
-
If we could configure the seek skip button controls for going forwards and backwards on an actual per podcast show basis that would be great.
-
For example:
The Jordan Peterson Podcast:
Skip Forward – 50 Seconds
Go Back – 50 Seconds
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
The Joe Rogan Experience Podcast:
Skip Forward – 70 SecondsGo Back – 70 Seconds

Hi, @thethingking91! I see we have an open feature request for this, so I’ve gone ahead and added a vote for it on your behalf. For context, we’re a small team, and votes on feature requests help our developers with prioritizing which features to build next.

Just curious about the underlying motivations for this. Is it that you want longer skips in podcasts with longer episodes? Is it about the length of ad reads? Something else?
-
Yes henrikn, the motivation from my standpoint for the customizable forward and back seek button controls is for ad reads. Some podcast shows have more ads and longer ads than others which especially makes setting the skip forward button more useful.

@staff-cara Is the open feature request not on the forum? I couldn’t find it and I would like to add a vote.

I came here to request the same thing.
For example, I know The Daily’s ad blocks are usually 90 seconds. So I’d like that specific podcast’s Skip Forward setting to be 90 seconds. (With a 15-second Skip Back setting in case I overshoot.)
But another podcast has 4 minute ad blocks, so I might set that podcast’s Skip Forward setting to be 4 minutes. (With the Skip Back setting being 1 minute.)
If you can add a vote on my behalf I’d appreciate it!
