Feature: Next episode link at episode page.

[cristianoliveira]

When listening to an episode when this episode is not interesting I would like to try the next/previous one without having to go back to the list.

@cristianoliveira the next/previous on the queue? not sure If I follow.

Wouldn't it make more sense to have that on the player instead?

For instance, on this page I would like to have a next/preview link

@cristianoliveira that's the thing, there are several concepts of next.

The player is an "app by itself", if you consider the state of the application the next is whatever is decided by the user on the queue. You can have a link for the episodes' page next, I guess that makes sense, but in general wouldn't it make more sense to have that on the player instead?

Actually, I like to see the description of each episode before listening. Is that my need. The first solution that came up my mind was that. We can solve that with another approach

[marceloboeira]

but then we have 3 different problems:

1. What is the next episode of the current one?
2. What is the next episode of the selected one?
3. What is the description of the next episode? (next being the one that is playing or not?)

The solution for 1 is just displaying the next/previous buttons with a hover with the episode from the Queue.

The solution for 2 is fairly simple, we could create an endpoint that return the next/previuos episode restricting the channel only. (Currently, if it does not find any it returns a random one from another channel)

3 could be solved in the solution of 1, with a hover that shows the description or at least a link.
