MUCH faster and more reliable, and should eliminate MANY sync bugs.<br/><br/>- Disabled Lock Screen time-scrubbing by default to reduce accidental seeks (previously in Nitpicky, now in regular settings)<br/><br/>- Chapter rows no longer accidentally activate while scrolling<br/><br/>- Fixed universal links, CarPlay blank screens, certain audio conditions, playlist-reordering bugs<br/><br/>(And opened a restaurant on Fire Island in the meantime. 😉) 2025-05-20T15:46:29+02:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs26933946yg75axms9gm8kvn0p5luh87seauq9355fwh4786udrkczypv2ukf2rlnx3vesx5hyly82xuwhta2sw74cpampsycaug236n4rsvnaf5q Streaming is simplified now to accommodate dynamic ad insertion (DAI):<br/><br/>Streams always start from the beginning of the file, and must download the entire file.<br/><br/>If it fails or times out, it saves your position and stops playback, and you need to retry the complete download again when you can.<br/><br/>(The previous system could download any arbitrary parts of the file, and could retry with multiple attempts to fill in each segment, which doesn&#39;t work in today&#39;s DAI environment.)<br/><a href="https://mas.to/@TheTrepanier/113013590224253022">https://mas.to/@TheTrepanier/113013590224253022</a> 2024-08-24T00:08:38+02:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs807uw5x7prqd0q64n6hgegvdgauyjwg9zkv3fnlrdsrt7ulzsq6qzypv2ukf2rlnx3vesx5hyly82xuwhta2sw74cpampsycaug236n4rs0xdnn8 Today is Overcast&#39;s 10th birthday, and to celebrate, I&#39;m launching a major rewrite of the app: <a href="https://marco.org/2024/07/16/overcast-rewrite">https://marco.org/2024/07/16/overcast-rewrite</a><br/><br/>The first decade has been great, and this new foundation brings it into the next one!<br/><br/>(Spoiler alert: It&#39;s fast. REALLY fast. And there&#39;s more coming soon.) 2024-07-16T15:01:45+02:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsqzusslcmx936pdheu2598qpdgw7q8anxypkgxf45gqy04lad8czqzypv2ukf2rlnx3vesx5hyly82xuwhta2sw74cpampsycaug236n4rskllhkg Substack is currently blocking Overcast.<br/><br/>It looks accidental, via Cloudflare misconfiguration. I&#39;m trying to get in touch with them.<br/><br/>I cannot stress enough to podcast hosting companies: DO NOT HOST PODCAST FEEDS BEHIND CLOUDFLARE!<br/><br/>If you do, you MUST create a Cloudflare rule that changes the &#34;Security Level&#34; to “Essentially Off&#34; for all feed URLs. Otherwise, if you host many feeds (especially per-member feeds), most podcast apps will be throttled or blocked from accessing them. 2023-08-14T16:34:10+02:00
