please add (optional) feature to resume play after headphones jack was re-inserted, like in MortPlayer. Now it only pauses on unplug.
Delivered in the last version v2.20

Thanks for reporting this. It will be fixed in the next version

Thank you, another suggestion - when I plug my earphones into jack to answer an incoming call, PodcastAddict resumes playback too - very inconvenient - it speaks on top of the call and I have to hastily find the way to stop it.
If I press button on my headphones cord in attempt to pause PA - instead it keeps playing but the call is being dropped..
Maybe there's a way to at least check if there's no ringing/ongoing call (including skype if possible) before resuming playback?
Thank you,

You're right there's an issue.
I will try to fix it for the next version -

thanks for the feature!
however found following glitch pattern:
1. pause by unplugging
2. unpause by plugging
3. e-mail comes to android and causes sound alert - this makes podcast addict pause to play "new e-mail" sound and not to un-pause again..I was able to reproduce it.

Yay!

@K8 If you have a control button on you headphone you can still plug it and resume playback using the button.
Automate it and tasker allow you do automate this really easily -

thank you for explanation, yes, I understand re new permissions, maybe sooner permissions need to be extended and this request could be batched with others.
Personally I listen to podcasts from the phone being stuck into front pocket of jeans, unplugging works, would be convenient not to pull out the phone, unlock, press play but rather to have it un-pause after plug re-insertion.

This feature requires new app permission and I prefer to avoid asking for new permissions. You can already start the playback or open the app automatically if you use apps like tasker or automate it. Just read podcast addict FAQ for more information, but I'm doing what you're asking for (and more) with tasker on a daily basis ;)

It would be nice to have it launch Podcast Addict too (not only resume if already launched).
I use podcast addict everyday when I commute (ie I plug the jack from my car) and it would be nice to avoid having to launch podcast addict manually.
