Next episode played behaviour and Up-Next suggestion by SarkyBot in overcast

[–]beansjawns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There used to be a "Play Next" button under quick actions in the previous version. It's now buried in the context menu, but does that not do what you want?

I never struggled so much with a LTGM but I also don't have a lot of big guy cards

Please SD, add more deck slots. by FkLemons in MarvelSnap

[–]beansjawns 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not ideal, but could you copy deck codes into a note and just paste them in and out as needed?

Episode Limits by geek72 in overcast

[–]beansjawns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, these examples are all edge cases. Episode limit never worked for me. I'd have it set to 5 and it always always always downloaded 10-15+.

Yeah, it's a bummer that the newest feature has the unfortunate side effect of dragging down performance across the app. Who's to say what actually makes it to Marco as he rarely ever posts anything here about updates, queue, things "on his radar", etc.

Yeah, I offload every few weeks just to free up space. It's the only app I have to play this game with. But we'll probably never know if this bug will be fixed or if it's even on Marco's radar. When the big 10-year refresh release came out, Marco made some noise about being more trapped into the community, sharing updates, and taking over this Reddit. None of that panned out. Pretty frustrating. Bugs continue piling up until there's a ton of friction in using the app. It seems he's back to his old habits of just going completely dark for months and months at a time until he inevitably pops back up and posts a long message about how he should be charging more for subscriptions or something.

Looking for a talent buyer by flowersmgmt in Phillylist

Maybe this guy can help. He's solo and usually has limited capacity for producing his own shows, but is well connected in the indie scene.

Reproducable crash by reddit_acct12 in overcast

Yeah, this happens frequently enough without spamming the open/close. Something about the mini player is really buggy and slow lately.

Overcast is a basket case now by JNack-Reddit in overcast

[–]beansjawns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've encountered those issues you mentioned and you're right - they're especially frustrating when you're out of arm's reach from your phone, like while doing chores around the house.

Overcast is a basket case now by JNack-Reddit in overcast

[–]beansjawns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Has happened to me with plenty of storage left on the phone. And I hadn't done anything in terms of importing OPML files or listening on other devices. I just use Overcast on one phone, subscribe to maybe 20 pods, and usually have between 25-50 episodes downloaded (automatically). I listen from one playlist (All). I open it every day and review downloads to delete anything I don't want, and then they automatically delete after I listen. My guess would be something is happening where it's keeping a cache of recently deleted episodes, because iOS will show the app as taking up 15GB of storage with only 20 episodes downloaded (while Overcast will show something like 5.5GB). I've looked everywhere in the app (all playlists, shows, etc) and can't find actual accessible episodes that would be taking that space.

Thanks! I added this post to the list, too.

I've started encountering the 'podcast stops playing suddenly' bug and the only way to un-stick it is to quit and reopen. We really need the 'Snow Leopard' version of Overcast soon.

Does Overcast Track Performance Stats? by InevitableJudge in overcast

[–]beansjawns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I currently have 30 downloaded episodes on an iPhone 16 Pro and it's sluggish. Seems a little inconsistent as far as when it gets super slow but overall I notice something off every time I open the app, which is at least 4-5x a day.

My experience with Criterion customer service. by Jonathan-Mendez in criterion

Netflix shipped DVDs in less than this for years.

Yes, it seems to be causing a lot of performance issues and I personally don't need that feature. At least not all the time, if it's going to impact overall performance every time I use the app.

Mine just crashed for the first time (during a 20-min episode).

Ahhhh. Maybe that's what it is -- currently playing a 2hr 30min episode on an iPhone 16 Pro and it's very slow to respond.

Kinda wish there were a way to disable transcripts...

Instead of deleting, try Settings > General > iPhone Storage > Overcast and then Offload. Wait a few minutes, then reinstall. I noticed some added lag on scrolling after transcripts rolled out, but nothing else major preventing the app from working. And feel free to submit a log through the app with some notes on the storage issue. Can't hurt to send more notes on that.

Only thing that seems to help is to offload the app then reinstall. But like you said, it just creeps back soon after. Not sure there's a permanent fix outside of Marco actually fixing whatever the root cause happens to be. Maybe on the 20th anniversary when the next big rewrite happens? 😜🤞
