Hi @kingonly,

Yes, I noticed this issue this morning when trying to listen to this episode. There is an issue with the chapters file for this episode. Fetching the chapters throws an exception which results in the playback stopping. I have fixed this locally on the feature/ios_filesystem branch and hope to get this complete and merged into master soon. If you wish to fix this sooner on the Breez version the fix is to surround the chapter call in mobile_podcast_service.dart with a try catch block:

  static Future<psearch.Chapters> _loadChaptersByUrlCompute(_FeedComputer c) async {
    psearch.Chapters result;

    try {
      result = await c.api.loadChapters(c.url);
    } catch (e) {
      // Silently ignore the error.
    }

    return result;
  }

Thanks for the quick response @amugofjava! It's seems the issue with the chapters in this specific episode is resolved. We'll push the fix in our next update, preferably from your master branch.
