Orderly download limited number of unread episodes per podcast
Sorry if this has been posted, couldn't find exactly this idea.
My use case is that I want to steadily listen to all my subscriptions, in publication order. Downloading and queuing on automatic refresh does this nicely.
The problem is the necessary free space needed. If I fall somewhat behind for a few days, my storage gets filled up pretty quickly.
I see two possible ways of going about this (and I can't add storage ;-).
1) Globally download and store up to X GB of unread podcasts (and from all unread, in publication order)
2) Download at most X unread episodes of each podcast (and, again, not the one just found on refresh but the oldest unread). I'm not sure if "Keep at most" should be doing what I want, but since it is under 'cleanup' I guess it is not. My tests haven't been consistently successful. Also, "download limit" does not seem to be doing exactly this.
Since my use case seems pretty common, perhaps I'm not doing it right.
Cheers.
It looks like this can be managed by the new Archive mode.
Set app Settings/Automatic cleanup/Keep at most for 5 episodes for example (globally or per podcast), then enable the archive mode (globally or per podcast). The app will download up to 5 episodes and keep this number until you finally managed to liste to all your episodes.
Please let me know if this doesn’t answer your use case.
Thanks
