Embedded v5 player does not contain all elements

Podlove Web Player
1

Hi all,

we run a website that is based on various systems, including WordPress. We use Podlove to display Podcast episodes. Outside of WordPress, we embed the episodes as IFrames.

We would like to display the Podlove players in the same way across all systems. We use Podlove Web Player v5, which (in WordPress) displays chapter lists, transcripts, downloads etc. below the actual player. As far as I know, this is not easy to implement when embedding as an IFrame, because the size of the IFrame would have to be adjusted.

With Podlove Web Player v4, it is possible to display the above-mentioned elements without changing the size of the IFrame (see example).

I have two questions:

  • We cannot configure the Web Player v5 by modifying the embed code so that chapter lists are displayed below the player. Is that correct?
  • Is there a way to display such elements (as with Web Player v4) without changing the size of the IFrame?

Thanks
Oliver

Hi Oliver,
did you find a solution for that? We would love to integrate our podcast with transcripts and everything into our Pressbooks system.
Best wishes

Hi Frank,

I’m afraid not. We went back to v4 because the ability to embed a full player is rather important to us.

Hi Oliver,
Hmmm. Thank you!
For some reason, the transcript does not show up in the embedded version of v4 as well. It does in the original post, but when I embedded it (768*290) it is missing. Do you have an idea?

Hi Frank,

I wasn’t aware of this before, but it’s the same for me: Embedded v4 players display more than v5 players do, but no transcripts.
