From 74834ab1955d4dfd966c359ec2e37c5c863e91b2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Norman Date: Wed, 14 Oct 2020 08:45:38 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Podcast Chapter Start Time Data Type Update At @tomrossi7 's recommendation I'm proposing a change from using the lesser known [Normal Play Time](https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2326.txt) type to use seconds since the start of podcast instead represented in integers. This is a simpler way of representing a time within a podcast and will be simpler for clients to adopt.
