podStation Podcast Player Extension

podStation is a simple RSS podcast aggregator (or should I say a podcatcher?).

Just add your feeds in the main page or use the search tool and be happy.

Features:
* Global media control support
* Fully functional audio player, it plays in background and offers control over the playback rate (speed), both faster and slower.
* Continuous play, go directly to the next episode when the current one ends.
* Playlist
* Podcast search (using Digital Podcast, iTunes and Podcastindex.org)
* Import your feeds from OPML files
* Detects feeds in pages you visit (the icon will change when a feed is found)
* Synchronize your data using your google account and use it in any Chrome instance, like at home and work (it syncs feed list, episode progress, player options and playlist)
* Integration with the Screen Shader extension (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/screen-shader/fmlboobidmkelggdainpknloccojpppi)

Note on permissions:
* \"Read and modify all your data on all websites you visit\" - That is necessary for us to download the RSS feeds and detect feeds in websites. We do not read YOUR data from any web site, nor do we modify it.

This is a work in progress, if you find issues or have feature requests, please let us know through the About page of the extension or the report bug function.

Steven “Slips” Phillips (ID: 00000053c915ec46) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 06/05/2024 Keeping in mind the app is a work in progress and the author keeps asking people how to make it better; When I make a playlist the list won't start automatically and when I manually start my playlist the podcasts won't automatically advance to the next podcast(s). When I review the "Latest Episodes" list episodes I've already listened to aren't indicated or even removed entirely and there is no way for me to manually indicate which episodes I have listened to or remove them from the Episodes list so I don't have to wonder if I've already listened to them.

Len Kowalik (ID: 000000a3990f0b52) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 05/02/2024 I just installed this extension, so I have not used it very much. I wanted to say how impressed I am already with it, especially the way it lists recent podcasts by default, and the many options it provides, except for the link to Fakebook .
