Description

The player on nextcloud.com/podcast doesn't show a list of episodes by default. It's the 'list' button there - it should be possible to have this visible all the time as ppl can't figure out how to go to the previous episode (and that is indeed unclear). I can't do this, hoping @ma12-co is willing to look into it... The relevant docs are probably here: https://docs.podlove.org/podlove-web-player/templating.html#custom-templating

A second thing we'd LOVE to be able to do is link to a specific episode - we have no clue how to do that right now...

Then, a third (sorry...) - embed the player in a blog post, with a specific episode! That would be super nice to have as well.

Research direction
Examine the Podlove Web Player documentation for custom templating and find how to make the episode list always visible. For linking to specific episodes, investigate URL parameters or API endpoints. For embedding, look into iframe or embed codes. Start by understanding the current player setup in the codebase.
