Bug Description

Viewing show notes gives a really useful list of links for what the guys said in that chapter of the show.
Would be awesome If we could click on those chapter time stamps and have the playback start from that point.

That would indeed be awesome. Sadly I have no idea how to do this across all devices or even in HTML5 for both Ogg and MP3.

That would be really cool.

Fab, I think it might be possible for pony to parse the show notes to extract the times and create 'links' in the notes which cause the player to skip to the relevant time without needing to modify the notes themselves.

I'll have a look into the feasibility of it when I get a chance.

The timestamps in the show notes are noted down by hand from playing back the file in VLC. It's not guaranteed that they will be correct of correspond to the times in the Android media player. Also, I would prefer not to hardcode something into the app that relies on the show notes being formatted in a certain way. This seems like a recipe for disaster to me...
