Selecting to play an episode from within the podcast menu, should only play episodes of that podcast then stop.
If I pick to play a podcast from within a specific podcast(select one podcast from the podcast menu) then only episodes from that podcast should play, then stop at the end of the downloaded episodes.
Edit: delivered in v3.9
==========
Next version of the app will include a new playlist mode called ‘Automatic podcast playlist’ (at least for now).
This mode will disable the current playlist and all the ‘add to playlist’ / ‘remove from playlist’ menus and buttons.
When selected, this mode will work like this:
Start playing an episode. The app will automatically build a playlist with all the unread episodes of the current podcast. If you press the play button on an episode from another podcast, the app will clear the current playlist and build a new one for the new podcast.
Please join the beta group to test this new feature as soon as it’s available (http://podcastaddict.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/253911-how-to-join-the-beta-program). Feel free to let me know what you think about it. Every feedback is welcome.
Thanks
Edit: a new beta has just been published with this new feature. It should soon be live. Please test it and let me know if you have any issue or some feedback.
Thanks

@Anonymous Not sure which part you find complicated. You just have to go in the settings to select how the app will handle the playlist. If you select the new setting, the app will then behave exactly as you want: press on an episode then the app will start playing it, then play the next one of the same podcast and so on

This sounds complicated. Why not make that if the user plays an episode from within an individual podcast and not from the main playlist - it just plays the next unread episode from that podcast?

i want this so bad.. :)
this feature should first play all downloaded episodes and then continue playing unread episodes (if the settings allow it)

I agree. I would like to be able to play all episodes in a single podcast easily without having to manage the playlist.

Just wanted to add that is an annoyance and it leads to user confusion. When I open a podcast and I tell it to play the first episode and then it finishes it jumps to a different podcast because that is queued in the playlist. Thats not what the user wants to have happen.
