Antennapod: Widget buttons for rewind, fast-forward, prev and next?

Created on 6 Feb 2020 · 10Comments · Source: AntennaPod/AntennaPod

With the current widget spacing there is room for at least one extra button. (Currently the text has the length of 3 icon columns, there is a 1 icon row space, then 1 playback/pause control button.)

Possibly an option for choosing the widget playback control buttons, like with the lockscreen?

Saying that, if one could resize the widget and get multiple playback controls in the second row of the widget, that would be amazing.

good first issue

which buttons did you want in the widget if we added one more?

You did not mention the exact buttons you want, so I'll assume that you mainly wanted a speed button. Adding a playback speed button is already tracked in #2279.

Sorry, I lost the tab for this before.

Currently I only have the play/pause button on the widget. It would be nice to have the rewind-a-bit button also.

But if another row were possible, it would be handy to have also prev, next and FF buttons available.

@mxmilkiib If you can rename the title of the issue (so it focuses on rewind) I can reopen it.

But if another row were possible, it would be handy to have also prev, next and FF buttons available.

I think creating a separate issue for this would be better.

Alternatively, we might combine everything (this and #2279) and have one issue for 'configurable widget buttons'. @ByteHamster?

Not sure because they have a pretty different difficulty to implement. Prev, next and FF buttons can be implemented quite easily by sending the keycode (and probably quite a bit of additional error handling). Changing the speed needs a new intent, I think. Anyway, both need to touch the same widget update code, so it is probably best to keep them in one single place.

The lock screen widget is great but the home widget not so much. Please at least add a rewind button to the home widget.

But I think adding a rewind and a forward button would be better (you could remove the thumbnail if there isn't enough space - _usually_ we know what we are currently listening to, and in any case the track name is enough).

Configurable widget buttons and text/thumbnail would be even better!
