Customized template files not working in theme

  • Hello!

    We’re attempting to adjust a few things on the Castos playlist and RSS feed – we’re using the Playlist widget to allow users to scroll through our complete list of podcasts and play them from a single page.

    That said, some of our site’s coding affects the styling, plus the podcast’s summary – not the episode summaries – are being displayed for each podcast. We also have to add a CSS class to the active player’s image tab to easily deselect it from some of the styling we have sitewise (which make :not() selectors unreliable). Additionally, the RSS feed includes direct file downloads which we’d like to remove.

    We’d usually use the plugin templates in our theme file to achieve this – e.g., …/themes/ourthemename/seriously-simple-podcasting/players/castos-player.php, but – so far – this has not worked for us.

    We’ve seen the customize-castos-player.php on Github, but would really, really like to avoid using regex to make the edits to $template_content to avoid mangling the DOM’s HTML.

    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Hi @wsp-kk,

    To my knowledge, we haven’t provided a way to override the player template with theme files directly. However, you can use the ssp_media_player filter to apply your own template. This filter provides three parameters: $player, $src_file, and $episode_id.

    Best regards,
    Serhiy.
