(Android) Add continuous playback for downloaded podcasts
This should be without the need to add to a playlist.
This is my suggestion:
Users preset how 'Continuous' works, on all downloaded podcasts:
It would be options like this:
Play all podcast episodes old to new (or new to old, or date order, or alphabetically ordowmload date, irwhatever....)
Or same options for all podcasts already downloaded,
Or yet to be downloaded.
I want to download a ton of podcast episodes from different podcasts. Then I want to be able to play a podcast episode. At the end of the episode, the next episode starts playing, according to whatever 'Continuous Play' condition I have previously set up.
In effect, I define how podcasts play on initial setup. Then all podcast episodes within a podcast podcast, work accordingly.
NO PLAYLIST
1. Set up play options for app, as above
2. Download a bunch of podcast episodes from different podcasts.
3. Select a podcast.
4. Press 'play'
.... There you go.
Simplicity.
No need for playlists for the average user who gets scared / fraked off with a myriad of menu's and buttons to select... Just to listen to a podcast!
Life is too short. Make it easy.
We just want it to work!
Delivered in Podcast Addict v3.35.1
==========
The Continuous playback mode will be improved in the upcoming v3.35 version.
It will allow you to start playing any list of episodes displayed on the screen by pressing on an episode play button no matter which screen you’re in or which filter is applied.
You can test this in the latest beta available.
Please let me know how it works for you.
Thanks

Thanks for implementing this idea. I have joined the Beta program and have enjoyed using the feature.
It works splendidly.
Thanks again.

Yes, I've been wanting this for a long time as well. Hopefully, it can be implemented as the auto playlist function can be wonky at times. For example, sometimes episodes would repeat if started playing in the episode list as opposed to the podcast.
