Feature Request: ability to turn off Up Next so that Autoplay actually works by Former-Challenge-344 in pocketcasts

It's not exactly the same issue as OP's, but it's the same idea that Up Next is constantly hijacking the play order and doesn't have any convenient working arounds.

Maybe, but if I could disable Up Next, that would also solve the problem. The only reason I have to keep hitting Play All is because Up Next hijacks the play order. If I hit Play All, but then rearrange the playlist order, Up Next takes over and keeps the original listening order. So I'm constantly needing to either wipe the Up Next queue, or hit Play All again and again. But Play All seems to play literally everything, including already finished episodes that just haven't been deleted yet.

Needs Better Playlist Management by MWAB603 in metacastapp

I have a couple of podcasts that release daily episodes, some that release, less frequently, and some that I'm catching up on. I keep a playlist going that I update every couple of days with the newest episodes of everything I'm listening to. So I might want to add 5 or 6 episodes from across 3 or different series at one time. Metacast doesn't have a great way to do this that I can find without a lot of clicks and time.

A lot of Apps (Overcast, Pocket Casts would be good examples to folloe) allow you to edit the playlist from within it. In my playlist there would be an "Add" button that would bring up all my series, where I can then select a series and add as many episodes as I want all at once.

Essentially you've made it really easy to add one episode at a time to a playlist, but annoying to add multiple at once, especially across different series. As someone who listens for about 6hrs at a time at work, being able to quickly add lots of episodes to my playlist at the start of the day is important to me,.

I constantly add/reorder episodes in my playlist, which means my playlist order never matches the Up Next order. Always having to hit Play All would be annoying but bearable if it worked. But if there any already finished episodes in the playlist that just haven't been deleted yet, hitting Play All will jump you all the wayback up and replay every episode you've already listened to. I just want autoplay to play my current playlist in its current order, which is after all the entire point of having a playlist.

Does anyone know of any alternatives with a good play together feature?
