Widget Album Art Restarts Episode Playback On Android
-
I use the Medium Medium 4×1 widget on Android and if I’m in the middle of an episode, and click on the album art, I get taken to that episode’s screen and playback starts from the beginning of the episode.
This also seems to be the case with the Large Player 4×3.
This is in 7.62-rc-1 (9213).

Looks like this is even happening if you select an episode that was partially played from a Filter list, or even a podcasts episode listing.
-
Yep. This seems to have started with the new widgets. The expected behaviour is that tapping album art would take you to the podcast that is currently playing without interrupting playback, but instead it’s seeking to 0s every time. I hope it gets fixed in an update
-
The new widgets are a step backwards IMO. The control buttons are left aligned, and they really look half baked.

It’s working in 7.62-rc-3, but it’s taking you to the Episode’s Details page, should it not bring you to the Now Playing page?
-
just want to add another voice to the thread, I agree it shouldn’t take me to the episode’s details page, but rather to the now playing page. I use the widget to access the app in general, the number of times that I want to seek specific episode details is minuscule compared to how often I just want to open the app period.

Hi there, @akismetuser106789380 & @joshuapritt
We’ve reverted the widgets back to our older ones on our beta while we work on making more improvements to the newer widgets :)
Thanks for all of your feedback!
