External chapter example

[mahemoff]

It would be useful to see an example of an external chapter resource at the bottom of the Simple Chapters spec. It says this is a resource "containing the chapter information", but would be safer for both publishers and developers if it included a complete example.

I also do not quite understand how this is intended to work.

I've always assumed you'd just link to a file like this.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<chapters version="1.1" xmlns="http://podlove.org/simple-chapters">
  <chapter start="0" title="Welcome" />
  <chapter start="3:07" title="Introducing Podlove" href="http://podlove.org/" />
  <chapter start="8:26.250" title="Podlove WordPress Plugin" href="http://podlove.org/podlove-podcast-publisher" />
  <chapter start="12:42" title="Resumée" />
</chapters>

Is <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> required?

Also: What is the correct filename extension?

filename.psc.txt or filename.psc?

[timpritlove]

The XML header is required in any XML file. The filename does not matter in general, .psc is our convention.

@timpritlove Is @Cj-Malone's comment correct then? It's just a xml "chapters" file?

[timpritlove]

Yes, that's what is intended. You either place Podlove Simple Chapters inline or you link to a file containing an XML document adhering to the same namespace.

Are there any feeds doing external file chapters and do players support it?
