Thank you @benwehrman for helping us test the new video playback feature in Fountain!
It's still a bit rough round the edges - but keen to get as much feedback as possible - please comment below with your first impressions / thoughts on the ux of switching between audio and video when listening to a podcast.
For anyone that's curious - this is all built on the new rss <podcast:alternateEnclosure> tag which means this kind of seamless video playback should eventually work in all supporting apps - https://podstandards.org/2025/06/28/hls-video-podcast-demo
While trying to hit the pause button it was spinning (like a loading/buffering image). When it was spinning it appears I had to click several times to pause the video.
