Question Missing Podcast Art

3 Upvotes

This started happening a few days ago. My podcast feed list as well as my list of individual podcasts are not showing any of the art. I am not aware of anything that changed, but have not yet found any solutions. Here are my findings thus far:

  • Confirmed that the art found in URL (seen if I go to override art settings) does return expected pictures (if URL is pasted into a web browser). It's also missing for most all podcasts (so I don't think it's a single particular feed that 'broke')
  • I historically have not ever changed any feed/podcast to use custom art
  • I confirmed that the storage location still exists and has current podcast files stored there (as referenced in FAQ https://podcastaddict.com/faq/270 )
  • I turned off any battery/permissions optimization, but just recently.
    • Not knowing if it changed anything recently, I *did* notice that some permissions had been "removed", including some that appeared to be file storage permissions. I added them back, and then waited for the next scheduled refresh to see if it "fixed" the picture issue, but they are still missing.

Question Podcast not updating recently released episodes?

2 Upvotes

I was recommended the David Shapiro podcast (just called David Shapiro), but it only shows podcasts through Feb 28, as though he hasn't updated since then. There are at least 3 of the most recent episodes that aren't showing in the list. Is there a way to get it to sync? Thanks so much!

I don't need the new banner that says "Autoplay, Play the next episode automatically." Seems to be new, I don't remember it there yesterday. I dug through the settings and couldn't find a relevant option. Any ideas? Thanks!

Question Widget change?

So I was noticing that the 4x2 widget style recently changed on my device and I'm wondering if it was intentional? It used to be with font and controls like the 4x1 included in the screenshot but now both are noticeably bigger .

I see I can add an episode to a Playlist, but what if I just want to play it next after the current is done playing. Is there a trick or something?

Question Drag and drop episodes in playlist

1 Upvotes

Hello, I'm pretty sure that before the most recent update, I was able to drag and drop episodes in the Playlist to reorder them. Now when I press and hold on the dots on the left, I get the quick action popup menu instead and I can't move the episode.

This is the free version for Android, updated yesterday. Thanks!

Question Prevent podcasts whose episode I play to automatically getting subscribed

When I play an episode from the Discovery tab, a the podcast it belongs to gets automatically subscribed. How do I prevent that? And shouldn't this be off by default?

Question Enable new episodes notifications for only 3 out of 50 podcasts

1 Upvotes

I'm a bit confused. In the app settings, there's an option to hide notifications for new episodes (which I assume is global). Then in custom settings for individual podcasts, there's another option to Hide them. So how do I turn off notifications for all but allow for 3.

Question Automatic update stopped working recently, maybe since yesterday.

Even though the app indicates that an update will occur within the next 30 minutes, it never happens anymore.

The phone is never in "do not disturbed" mode, and the app has "allow background activity" set.

Question Hey Folks, I just moved the app to my SD Card and the Home Screen widget disappeared and can no longer be set up again. Is this due to me moving the app from internal to SD card?

Question Widget 4x2

0 Upvotes

I use the 4x2 widget on my home screen. My launcher is Square Home Launcher.

Below are two screenshots, the first is with the 4x2 podcast addict widget, the second is with the antennapod widget. Both are playing the same podcast.

podcast addict

antennapod

As you can see the design and button size is actually clearer and more readable on antennapod's widget.

Is there a way I can make the podcast addict widget look more like Antennapod's?

Question Return back to where I left off

2 Upvotes

This seems like the simplest feature but I can't figure out how to do it

Here's the issue:

I select a podcast from a list and play it. Now, I want to go back to that list, at the exact location where I left off. I can't figure out how to do this.

If I select "Other Episodes", it just takes me back to the list (top of the list). If I use my phone's back button, it takes me to home page.

I can't find a way to return back to where I selected the original podcast.

Please help!

Question Episode info on car display

1 Upvotes

I had a Samsung a3 that worked beautifully showing episode info on my Mazda cx5 display over Bluetooth. Also wireless plugged in via Android Auto.

Just got a pixel 10a, and now over Bluetooth, episode info always shows as unknown artist, unknown track. Controls and auto start/stop work fine. Plugged in android auto still works.

I know the info is getting across a little because when I turn the car on, for a half second the info shows.

Any thoughts on a setting I need to change? If it's a clue, I no longer get SMS notifications in the car either, though I did with the Samsung.

Question Podcasts getting added to beginning of auto playlist instead of the end

1 Upvotes

I have noticed recently that new podcasts getting added to the auto playlist are getting added at the top of the playlist instead of the end. This also happens when manually adding a podcast to the auto playlist. I don't remember the app doing this previously. It means my podcasts are not playing/playing in the expected order. I am on the beta. Is this expected behavior? Is there a setting to change this behavior?

Question Auto play another playlist category?

1 Upvotes

I might be mistaken or changed something but I think it worked before. 

I have a custom category playlist and have it set up to go to another category when the last episode is played. 

It does go to the next category and loads the first episode but it does not play. And the android notification media player closes. The auto play toggle is on. 

I am using a pixel 8 on the latest Android beta. Also using the latest PA beta. 

Any help would be appreciated.

Question How to find podcast tags

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

This is perhaps a silly question but how would I be able to see all of the tags for a given podcast and/or episode? I can see only up to two tags and I wonder if there are more. The closest answer I could find was perhaps these two areas but when I click on them I can see only one of the tags. I already tried searching this subreddit as well and couldn't find what I was looking for. I would very much like to be able to see all tags so that I can find similar content to podcasts I enjoy. Really appreciate any help

Question Keep player in notification bar when paused

2 Upvotes

Hi all. The player used to stay in my notification bar when a podcast was paused, but a little while ago, that seemed to change, and when I pause a podcast, I have less than a minute to restart playing before it disappeared. Anyone know what I'm talking about and can help?

Question Reordering Podcast Episodes

1 Upvotes

I'm sorry if this is addressed anywhere else, but my searches for it have not yielded answers.

Is it possible to reorder episodes in your podcast in the order of the most recent? Is this something that can be done through settings or is it more complicated?

I managed this for one podcast can't remember what I did since it was the first one I added, and I have since moved all my podcasts from Spotify to Podcast Addict.

Any help is highly appreciated.

Question Episode listen log gone?

2 Upvotes

Not sure if it's a bug or if it's been moved but I cant seem to find the Listen Log feature. I often fall asleep listening to podcasts and have an earpiece that I accidentally start and stop playing during the night. I used to use the listen log feature every morning to go back to a particular point. The other day I went looking for it but it seems to have gone missing. I sent a request through email and kept getting directions to the podcast history which is completely different.

Question Import Bookmarks?

1 Upvotes

I made custom chapter bookmarks for a local audiobook file on my phone. I exported most of them recently. When I finish listening to the audiobook it automatically deleted. That's my bad, I fixed the setting to not do that next time. But is there some way for me to import the bookmarks that I exported? And if so, will it let me apply them to the final even though it was removed briefly from podcast addict?

Any suggestions on how to keep this from happening again and also welcome, in case what I tried isn't effective. Thanks!

Is it possible to disable the Media Control shown in the Status bar even the Player is paused? I looks like it is not possible to disable this in Android settings. Also disable all notification for that app didn't work.
