  2. The first seconds are skipped on OGG files

    I guess its a bug. When hearing a podcast in the ogg format, the player skips the first seconds. On other formats like aac or mp3 it starts at the beginning. I'm on Android 4.4.2.

    Playback is handled by the device built-in player.
    Sorry but there’s nothing I can do to fix this issue. Only a ROM update might be able to fix it. You can also try playing those episodes with another player like MX Player or VLC which are using their own engine

  3. Different playlists

    Iike downcast for iOS several playlist feed by podcasts choice

    You can subscribe to any existing RSS feed. It looks like they aren’t providing any RSS feed on their website and their podcast isn’t available on iTunes. As soon as their podast is available on iTunes it will be available in Podcast Addict as well

  5. Option to have bluetooth control fast forward/rewind instead of next/previous.

    This is the setup used on the default windows phone podcast app and it is very intuitive. It's useful to navigate around ads since that is when i use the external controls most of the time. Awesome app you guys have put together, thanks!

  6. be able to choice the minimum duration of an episode

    There's a feature that permits to choice the maximum number of episodes per podcast. That's useful. But my app sometimes download the teasers and then reach this max number Before having download the real podcast.
    it can be useful to be able to set a minimum duration of an episode. By this way, i'll skip the teasers.
    Sorry for my English and thank you for your good app

    That’s not possible because the only way to now the episode duration for sure is to download the start playing the episode. Some RSS feed prove the duration information but most of the time this information is false (it’s just a copy/paste from another episode).
    So this feature won’t work.
    The only reliable filter is by type or by title

  7. I did donate before my phone crashed and had to reset. now how to re enable my adfree player ?

    Please don’t use this page to ask questions or report bug. It’s dedicated to new feature requests.
    Use this page Contact Support button or Settings/Feedback to contact me instead.

    Regarding the question, you just have to re-install Podcast Addict Donate on your device and it will remove the ads from the Podcast Addict app.

  8. Automatically skip podcast intro

    All the podcasts I listen to have an intro of around a minute. I always skip this if I can but it's hard to skip to exactly the right place. A per podcast intro skip would be great - ie, automatically start playing the podcast at x seconds, not the beginning.

    You can already do this.
    Long press on the podcast (not the episode), select Custom Settings and override Player Settings. Then select an offset of the duration you want to skip, and the app will start playing at the selected position.

  9. After the latest update, podcast audio has lots of crackling, popping and some stuttering

    ... across all podcasts I listen to. Is it related to the the real time processing? Can I turn that off? I'm using a GN3.

    Thanks for a great product!

    Use instead this web site contact support button or the app bug report form (Settings/Feedback/Report a bug)

    As explained in the last changelog, the Skip silence feature will increase the CPU usage and decrease the sound quality. If it doesn’t work fine for a file, please disable this setting

    Thanks

    Please don’t use this page to report a bug. Usethe Constact Support button on this website or the bug report form in the app (Settings/Feedback/Report a bug)

    Regarding the issue my guess is that you’re on a Moto G device or a device running Android5. In both cases because of a ROM bug Android kills background apps to frequently. Please let me know which device / android version you’re using so I can help you find a workaround

    Thanks

  11. add available disk space check and error

    Waisted so much time trying to understand why your app refuses to download new episodes! I've installed it in SD card and store podcasts there as well. When no more space is available you app sais nothing! No error or warning just wouldn't download when I tell it to!

    Seriously, guys. This is app development 101!

    Please don’t use this page to report a bug. It’s dedicated to new feature request. Use the dedicated bug report form instead (Settings/Feedback/Report a bug)

    Regarding the issue, the app displays an error message explaining that the reason of the failure (No more space available).
    Make sure you didn’t disable Toast messages in Settings/Notifications otherwise as explained in the setting summary: error messages won’t be displayed anymore

  12. BUG: automatic as well as manual downloads stop at 44%, then restart, in an endless loop. Downloads still work sometimes.

    possibly only certain podcasts affected.

    Regarding the issue, it means that either your ISP or the podcast remote server is resetting the connection after some time.
    Please send me the podcast RSS feed url and episode names so I can do some tests

    Thanks

  14. Add a "Clear Recent Apps" toggle

    While I'm listening to a podcast on my phone (LG G3), I will sometimes click on the "Recently Used" apps button of my phone and hit the Clear All button. This makes the podcast stop, for obvious reasons... I'd like to be able to clear all my recently used apps without stopping the podcast from playing.

    By doing so you ask Android to clear this screen and to kill everyone of those apps as well…
    If Podcast Addict is running, playback will stop as the player service is being killed.
    There’s nothing I can do to change that

  15. "Delete older episodes" doesn't work!

    I love this app, but a critical feature isn't working. In settings -> Automatic cleanup -> Delete older episodes -- I have this setting on two weeks and never change it.

    In spite of that -- in the downloads screen, I have downloaded episodes that are months old. They never get deleted. I end up filling up my phone's entire storage with old podcasts that never get deleted -- and eventually I have to manually delete files myself.

    Help! How can I get "delete older episodes" working?

    Regarding the issue, the automatic deletion is triggered when a new episode is downloaded. Then the app will apply the automatic cleanup setting to this podcast and delete episodes if necessary.
    If they are not deleted, it means that they don’t match the criteria (make sure that you didn’t override the settings for those podcasts)
    You can send me a backup of the app data, if you want me to take a look at the app settings

  16. Clear out images with the podcasts

    I just cleared 300MB of images after 1 year of use. When a podcast goes to trash take the image if nothing else uses it. On app update clear the folder of images that are not referenced

    The app supports this format, but doesn’t open them by default.
    When you open a file, Android will display the list of apps which support the file format. If a single one is found it will be opened by default. Otherwise Android display the list of apps which can play the file. When you select an app, make sure to press the Once button otherwise Android will remember and always use this kind of file with the selected player. You can then go into Android Setting/Apps to clear this association

  19. a particular podcast isn't working for me in this app.

    It's called Glenquarie Anglican Church. If I search for it using the iTunes search function I find it but it never has the picture there, just the PA logo. After subscribing it always fails to initialise. If I add it using the web link it says it initialises but still doesn't show any episodes or the picture. If you look at the iTunes website it's all there and looks fine. Would you be able to see if the problem is at your end or at the podcaster's end?
    Thanks :)

    Regarding the issue, please send me the podcast RSS feed url so I can test it. To do so, long press on the podcast, select Copy to clipboard and paste the result here.
    My guess is that the RSS feed is broken or that the podcast server is down

    Regarding the issue, it’s not the app crashing but Android killing it to free some resources.
    My guess is that you’re using a Moto G device or a device running Android 5.x
    Both have a major bug which makes Android kill background apps way too often. If you’re on Android 5 the workaround is to reboot the device on a daily basis until Google releases the fix.

    Sorry I cannot be more helpful
