Cross device synchronization
Would be great to be able to synchronize subscriptions, playlist, read status, ... between devices
Just a heads up regarding the latest version of the app. It doesn’t provide cross device syncing yet, but it allows you to sign in to your Google Drive account and have all your data automatically backed up to make sure they are safe at all time. It also makes restoring the data on a new device really easy.
You can go into Settings/Backup to enable this and sign-in
Thanks

Really appreciate the quality of the app - this is the one feature I'd love implemented. Any chance of an update or ETA? Saw that you ran into problems when Dropbox changed their API - not being tech minded at all, is this really bad news? (it sounds pretty bad...)

OK. That sounds better.

Yes but this is limited to devices with access to the Google Play Services. I'm trying to build a solution which will work on devices without Google Play Services. That way, you will be able to synchronize Kindle devices, BB devices, on Chrome, and Windows 10 ;) -

What is with the Saved Games Service from the Google Play Service? There you can synchronize Status Across devices!

Any guess at a time frame for this? I just started using cast addict and I would like to know if I should hold my breath or find another solution.

Damn, was hoping for a beta soon :x

Bad news... I was implementing this feature with Dropbox Sync API, but Dropbox just announced that these APIs were now deprecated...
I will have to find another solution and re-implement everything :( -

Even donated for this feature - cant wait for it :>

How can I help the test?

OK, that's still a lot better than losing everything. Some podcasts have limited availability so may not be available for later download. Fortunately, most podcasts don't work that way. I look forward to testing it.

@OV51KGRV this feature will allow synching subscriptions and episode status. It won't store any downloaded episodes

Yet again my Nexus 5 has broken so I've lost all my subscriptions and downloaded Podcast. So when I have another mobile I'm very keen to test this. I would like online storage of subscriptions, play state and ideally downloaded episodes.

First I need to finish the v3.0 which comes with a small UI update and some technical improvements. Those technical upgrades will then allow me to resume working on the cross device syncing. There were some performance issues with my initial tests, and now it should work better

Like other posters here, this app is for me the best for podcasts, but I too would love the ability to sync across devices and would be willing to pay a reasonable amount for that ability. I hope it comes out soon!

Just ran into the same issue people having here. Maintaining the same library across phone and tablet. Or just having an account, so when time comes to change device, you could just login and not lose all your subscriptions and history data. Other than that, can't not congratulate you on a great piece of software, times and times much better than anything I've tried before. Thanks.

If you just allowed us the export the "listened to" list, then we could sync it ourselves with btsync.

Hmmm I just found out about this request: https://podcastaddict.uservoice.com/forums/211997-general/suggestions/4351924-add-support-for-https-gpodder-net (Add Support for gpodder).
This would solve two problems at once (but create a dependency for you): You don't need server code and could cross-sync between devices and pcs anyway with an established service. -

Cloud sync (with login and https) could even mean that someone could write a Windows program to play podcasts on the desktop and keep sync with the phone :D
I'd just *love* to have some sort of mini Itunes for podcast management, downloading and possibly pushing to the phone.
