Chapcast – Podcast Chapters
·
HTML5 podcast player with clickable chapters. SSP optional; works with uploads, the Audio block, or any resolved audio URL.
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.
