Chapcast – Podcast Chapters

Chapcast – Podcast Chapters

Details
View on WordPress

Chapcast adds a Podcast chapters meta box in the editor where you can enter start times and titles. On the front end, visitors see the standard HTML5 audio player plus a list of chapters; clicking a chapter jumps to that position in the audio.

  • Audio URL is resolved automatically: Seriously Simple Podcasting episode file, first audio file attached to the post (upload in editor), Audio block / [audio] shortcode in content, or a manual override / media library picker in the meta box.
  • Shortcode [chapcast_player] for manual placement (otherwise the player is appended after the post content when chapters exist). The legacy tag [spc_player] is still registered for backward compatibility.
  • Settings screen under Settings Podcast Chapters (help text + toggle automatic player placement).
  • Media Library (list view): Chapters column on audio files shows whether chapter rows are saved on the attachment.
  • Filters for developers: chapcast_post_types, chapcast_audio_url, chapcast_append_player_to_content.
