Description

Adds a Tasker plugin so that users can interact with Pocket Casts from Tasker directly, without the need to use user-unfriendly intents.

For now it's kind of just a proof of concept with an action to automatically start playing any playlist (filter) by name. It's super easy to add new actions now though, so that users can interact with Pocket Casts from Tasker in any way they choose. :)

I'm going to personally use this so I can have a button that I can press which will automatically start playing my favorite playlist without having to go into Pocket Casts' UI.

Let me know if there are any issues :) Thanks!

Hi Matt! Thank you very much for the review! Really appreciate all the attention to detail. 🙂

And, you know what, Tasker was also the first app I bought all those years ago as well, back when I was not Tasker's developer!

It's awesome to be able to work on it myself now and it has the added advantage of easily being able to add stuff to it that I need myself like now, with this Pocket Casts addition! I've been using Pocket Casts for a very long time and I'm very much looking forward to being able to play a filter with a physical button in my car, without even having to turn on my phone's screen! 😁

I've gone ahead and fixed all the issues you mentioned and also added a couple new commands to the Control Playback action in Tasker: Play Next In Queue and Skip To Time. Hope that's ok!

Let me know if there's anything else I can do. I really can't wait for this to be available for everyone!

Thank you!
