@francosolerio bloody hell.

@francosolerio no I don't. This setting is disabled by default and needs to be enabled per podcast if you want it. As for the purpose of the setting it's described in the description and it's very useful for podcasts about movies, music, books, vide games

@francosolerio And I published a beta that analyzes the chapter title to provide safer results

@francosolerio but not sure what the purpose of your public message is here when you enabled this setting yourself. Why then ask on social network what the app is doing when it's doing exactly what you set it to do...

@podcastaddict I actually didn't do anything, a listener of my podcast was asking why I had put porno clips in the chapters of my podcast. It took some hours to get to the bottom of the issue. People enable features without reading the fine print just for experimentation, but I think injecting arbitrary content with no way in the UI to tell it's not from the podcast producer is quite bad behaviour. @james

@francosolerio Fine print??? I'm sorry but did you read the setting? How is not obvious what the setting does? Are we there yet that people cannot be responsible for anything because reading a few lines has become too complicated and time consuming. Yes I agree that this specific image should not have been displayed, but I think that the setting is self explicit

@podcastaddict it really doesn’t matter. What if a user turns it on and connects the device to the car stereo, then at the gas station he goes for a leak while his wife and children stay in the car listening to the podcast… what can they think when such an image is displayed? You can change everything you want my friend. But you have to take responsibility and make it clear in the UI that what you display comes from your app and not from the podcast producer.

I’m with @francosolerio on this one. There should be absolutely no reason that @podcastaddict or any app should be injecting images of any kind into chapters or podcast episodes. This is careless and creates a very inappropriate situation that should have never happened.

@rgblack316 @francosolerio Did you read the setting description before saying that? Again, the app doesn't inject anything by default. The user enabled a setting which explains in which case it can make sense to enable it to have chapter artwork when they are not provided by the podcaster. Basically when the podcast chapters titles are movie names, book names, music names, video game names. All of this is described in the setting description

@podcastaddict @francosolerio you should never be putting things in tha the podcast creator didn’t do themselves. You are then making editorial decisions for them that Athens is not choose. This example shows what can happen when a developer gets overzealous and makes a feature that ultimately can be viewed as harmful.
