This guy wouldn't let me buy his car and enter it into a demolition derby. What an ass!
Following up on the introduction of automated transcripts earlier this week, you can now add timestamps to your audio post / showreel description directly!
Use clock formatting to get it to work: Just format them exactly like a HH:MM:SS clock: 00:00:00 with leading zeros for it to work. For example: 01:02:43 will work. 1:02:43 will not. Note that this will only work in audio posts.
Current timestamps for files are also now linkable. When listening to audio you can now share the current timestamp you are listening to by clicking the 3 dots menu and choosing "Current timestamp" from the list.
Known bug: This will only work on published posts, not drafts. Unfortunately it's a bit of work to address this, so I may not do so.
Alternatively you can append ?t=XXX to the URL, where XXX is the number of seconds into the audio. For example: https://prankcast.com/milkbox/posts/3689-breakfast-sandwiches?t=116
Kindly let me know if you run into any issues! Next up is letting users preserve timestamps during chat. I wanted to include that in this release but ran out of time.
Broadcast Stats
Stats batch catch up. I'm currently running a batch process that is calculating past listens. It will probably be complete tomorrow, so until then some older shows may show 0 listens.
Pagination Individual broadcast stats are now paginated, so you can go back in time to past broadcasts.
And lots of additional tweaks to make things better, including some bug fixes for user blocks. Good times!
In which I call a random room pretending to be the front desk and scold him for taking too many breakfast sandwiches. If you like the Milk box show themesong by @amphy, here's the original.
Wow, I can't believe it's 100 episodes already. That's bananas. If you like overly excessive loud sound effects and don't enjoy having functioning eardrums you'll probably enjoy the show.
On this fun episode, we:
We didn't do the one damn Memorial Day premise I wanted to do (calling HOA residents to invite myself over for BBQ leftovers). I guess we'll save that for Independence Day.
Featuring
Thanks to our newest Patreons
We get a buncha good tradio calls, hotels, gas stations, etc. We also have Greta Garbage join as a guest!
Now you can get all broadcasts and audio uploads transcribed, so they are easily searchable. This is also automatically integrated with the search box on the homepage, so you can find that exact call your looking for right from the home page.
