allow the "Mark Played" action to remove podcast from current list of unplayed episodes
Currently, if a podcast is partially played and you stop playback and mark it as "Played", the partially played episode remains in the un-played state and will return again when playing through the list.
Request is to basically set the state of any podcast that is manually marked as "Played" to the same state as if the podcast had played all the way through.
Selecting "Mark all played" should have this same behavior if it doesn't already.
I’m not sure to understand what you mean by the partially played episode remains in the un-played state and will return again when playing through the list.
If you mark an episode as played you won’t see it anymore if played episodes are hidden.
However this doesn’t remove the episode from the playlist.
There’s a single ‘played’ status, so the flag behave the same way when added manually or automatically by the app. However when an episode has been fully listened to the app can do other action based on your settings such as deleting the file and removing the episode from the playlist

This is the ONLY thing missing from the best podcast app for Android. And all the other apps have it.Sometimes, I decide I don't want to hear the rest of a podcast in my playlist. I want to mark it a FULLY played and remove it from the playlist at the same time, with one tap, either in the playlist mode or in the player. A manual 'Mark as Played' action should behave exactly as if the podcast had played through to the end normally.
Thanks for an AWESOME app!

Thanks for some additional clarification. Part of this is comes from the fact that the vast majority of my listening is via Android Auto. So, what I'm really looking for, is to abort a podcast before it finishes from the android auto user interface and have it removed from the play list. Totally understand that options available to you on Android Auto are probably limited.
So I fall back to just having the "mark played" option remove the podcast from the playlist.
Short of that, what would the workflow to accomplish what I'm looking for?
Would it be:
1. In android Auto, skip to next podcast
2. After the fact, mark the episode as Played
3. Delete the episode from my phone?Just trying to understand what I can do with current capabilities.
