One Player for Multiple Posts

Hello,
I would like to use the PowerPress player on my homepage, which contains all my posts in grid format. I would like to stick the player to the bottom of the screen and add a “play” link to each post, which would then play the corresponding episode in the player at the bottom of the screen. Is it possible to customise the PowerPress player to achieve this?
To be clear, I don’t want a playlist, but a single episode player, whose episode can be changed by clicking “play” on the corresponding post.
Many thanks for your time,
Laura

Do you already have this website in any way where you can link to it so we can get a better idea of what you want to achieve? It’s hard to say for sure if what you want to do can be done. It might require some custom code to be implemented.

Hi Shawn,
I don’t have anything up and running yet, but here’s a simple mock up of what I want to achieve:

This can be done with a custom theme. This is not something that would be built into a plugin though as it is very specific to how your site is designed.

Here is a good resource on how to use PowerPress in your theme: https://create.blubrry.com/resources/powerpress/powerpress-and-your-theme/.

First you would need to make your own code in your theme that loops through the last 6 blog posts. In this special page you could use jQuery to intercept the “play” link, grab the media URL in the play link and then use that in your player at the bottom. You will need to create your own play and download links though, which can easily be done by using the $EpisdoeData = powerpress_get_enclosure_data() function in your loop and formatting the ‘url’ into the play . The download href would be the same, just add download="title" attribute to the a tag so browsers that support download prompting will work. If you do not understand this, please forward this to the theme developer you are working with.
