Advanced Embedding Tips

If you have some coding experience or just like manually editing your code then check out these tips on how to customize your players by manually updating the code. 

Customize Using Tags

You can select custom tags to display in your player from the options setting dropdown under the Players tab or add them manually:

Small Player
<script src="http://www.buzzsprout.com/XXXX.js?player=small&tags=tag1,tag2" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>
Large Player
<script src="http://www.buzzsprout.com/XXXX.js?player=large&tags=tag1,tag2" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script> 

Limit Episode Number

When you embed your podcast on your website, you can add a limit so that only the most recent episodes will show in that player. This can be customized using the customizable options on your Players page or by manually updating the code as shown below.

Just add a limit of 1 to the code in order to grab your most recent episode (or whatever limit you would like to add.) Below are examples of embed scripts with a limit of 1 added:

Small Player
<script src="http://www.buzzsprout.com/XXXX.js?player=small&limit=1" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>
Large Player
<script src="http://www.buzzsprout.com/XXXX.js?player=large&limit=1" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>

Update Episode Order

By default, all episodes are sorted with the most recent episode first. Below are example embed codes that would put the episodes in order by date with the oldest episode first:

Small Player
<script src="https://www.buzzsprout.com/XXXX.js?player=small&order=date" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script> 
Large Player
<script src="http://www.buzzsprout.com/XXXX.js?player=large&order=date" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>  
Where it says &order=date is what you would add and change "date" to whatever you would like to sort your episodes by. For example, if you wanted to sort by title, you would replace "date" with "title".
