List of recently played podcasts
A history that lists the (at least 5) recently played podcasts, like you know it from other media player like foobar.
Once a podcast finished to be played and i wanted to go backwards, just some latest minutes. But I couldn't find it... I happend to have put it some days ago to my player and I have so many similar podcasts I really couldn't the last played one.
Edit: Delivered in v3.6.1
This will be added in the new version. You will have to go into Settings/Sliding menu and enable the playback history entry.
Please join the beta channel group in order to get early access to the feature and to give me some feedback.
Thanks

I would love to see this feature, a "Recently Played" list that shows ALL podcasts that were recently played in the order they were played, regardless if the podcast was only played for 5 minutes or the entire duration. To explain why this is needed....I listen to podcasts to fall asleep. I use a 30 min sleep timer. Oftentimes I fall asleep halfway through the podcast though. Frequently what happens is that a couple days later I want to try and listen to the second half of that podcast I started some days before...But I can't remember which of the several dozen podcasts I listen to on a regular basis was the one I fell asleep listening to the other night. You can see how this is a very reasonable scenario....I am almost certain that many of your users have had the same problem. This is where the "Recently played" function would save the day.

Export would be really great, or is there at least a way to get the history from a local file stored by PA on the phone?

Is there anyway to export that list?

Great news Xavier! Thank you! I'm looking forward to see the new feature. And in response to your question: In my opinion I think the history should only contain the episodes I finished to listen to. As for the episodes in progress they are already listed in the playlist.

Thanks Xavier, that is fantastic :)
Happy to join the Beta too, let me know how (maybe PM me so I can give you my google account, is usual process, join a google+ group - I am also a developer)
My thoughts are there is already a in progress option, so this would be a separate list of "listened to" - but happy to have in progress pods' in there too. -
BTW do you want to see only episodes which have been fully listened to or also episode with playback in progress ?

This I totally relate to - I ride a bike and I am madly searching for the last podcast I listened to, and cannot find it.... this would be soooo helpful!
Agree with Paul and Anonymous below - marking things as favourites after the fact would be super helpful.

I listen hands-free in the car, and i can't write down links or services i want to research further. if i listen to more than one episode on a drive, i have trouble remembering which of my 10-15 tech podcasts i was just listening to.

Sometimes, I click the "play" button inadvertenly, thus, the podcast is playing in background with very low sound.
When I see it, it is very common that some podcast have been completed.With this feature, I would like to be able to identify which podcast I inadvertenly completed and re-download/queue them in my playlist.

I've needed this feature a number of times. Sometimes there's been something I wanted to go back and reference but I couldn't remember which podcast it came from. Also, if I searched for/streamed an episode from a podcast I'm not subscribed to I can't "favorite" it as a workaround because it won't stay there. One solution would be a "playlist history" that shows a list of items marked as read, in the order (and with the date) that they were marked as read. You could bury it in the main settings or playlist settings if you want. Perhaps a better solution would be to beef up the "Reading in Progress" tool to make it a "Read History" that includes completely read items, and which is sortable by either date read or % read.

Agree. Mostly I was to find something to mark as "Favorite".
How long should it be? Should it be optional? Where should it be?
To help me, it'd need to be more than last 5. When I'm painting or gardening, I'll often make a 20-25 item playlist, with mixtures of 5 x 5 minute followed by 1 x 45 minute items, with a total run time of 5+ hours. And often I don't realize that how significant a podcast is until I chew over it later that night. I'd prefer played in last 24h or 7d. In played order.
Optional? : I don't care, but it's good form these days to allow recording features to be turned off.
Location : How about just under "Latest episodes(7d)" or under "Reading in Progress" ?

This history would also be very useful to easier find the episodes I want to mark as "Favorite".
