URL Scheme for opening episodes
-
If possible, it would be cool to be able to use URL schemes to open a specific episode of a podcast.

@siekman06 Could you elaborate further on what you meant by URL schemes?
If you’re looking for direct link to episodes, you can get direct link to episodes by sharing the episode in the app. For example:

Apologies, I forgot that Pocket Casts isn’t iOS exclusive, otherwise I would’ve included that I am an iOS user. As detailed on this page about third party integration, pktc:// is the Pocket Casts URL for inter-app linking in iOS. My suggestion is to be able to take the rss link to a podcast episode and use pktc://(episode-url) like you can with rss feed links to subscribe. My imagined use case for this was creating a shortcut to put in the iOS quick action menu that would allow me to quickly open podcast links found outside of Pocket Casts(mainly Reeder) into Pocket Casts to listen there or save for later.

Thanks for the feedback, @siekman06
We currently do not support this on Android, or other operating systems other than iOS.
We will consider improving this in the future :)
