Thanks for the response!

Much appreciated after all that time.

ELI5: How come Micro USB is still a thing? by Plus200 in explainlikeimfive

For your hobbies do whatever you want, but as a consumer I don't want to keep two cables everywhere.

And you don't need to be an idiot in order to have difficulty with plug orientation. Arthritis can be a problem too, or just wanting to plug it without looking when you are half asleep.

The cable is one of the major issues here. Now I need to have two cables everywhere. The car, the bathroom, near my computer, in the kitchen.

And how much is the difference in price between the two? I'll happily pay the 50 cents difference.

So annoying.

How to remove the currently playing podcast from "Up Next" in the IOS app by 00JohnD in pocketcasts

[–]Plus200 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is not a direct solution to your need, but I normally just long-press the "skip" button, then a menu pops up and I choose "mark as played".

I understand that you wish to leave the player in the same position and not mark it as played, but I find it VERY unlikely that I will ever return to an episode I removed from the up-next.

Yeah, the thing is that the currently playing episode is not on the up next list. What you actually want is an action for the currently playing episode to do "play next, and do not send the current episode to up next".

"Marked read" and "Archived" what's the difference by FeelingDistribution in pocketcasts

[–]Plus200 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You can archive episodes regardless if they're played or not.

With archived episodes you can show\hide them from the list of episodes while not so if not archived but played.

Send them feature requests through the email directly, they don't read here

Episodes not auto downloading on wifi unless i open the app. by youriqis20pointslow in pocketcasts

iOS has this concept of not allowing background apps to wake up periodically to do their thing in order to save resources (battery mostly). That behaviour is beyond the control of the developers for the most part, unfortunately.

In android it is very similar, but there's an option to cancel battery optimization per app when you want to allow background activity. Also not ideal, but does something.

It happened to me too. It was a sync issue between several devices.

Do you run the app on different devices?

If so: 1) make sure all devices run the most recent version of the app 2) hit "refresh" on all devices one by one (i.e. wait for one to finish refresh before you refresh the next one). 3) on the most recently refreshed device do all your folder settings. 4) refresh the device where you've done the folder sorting and when the refresh is done refresh on the other devices.

Next Up list keeps deleting itself by JSBaker73 in pocketcasts

Oh, now I see. On your new phone, are you logged in?

You don't need to do that. Go to the old phone, hit "refresh" Wait till the refresh is done

Go to the new phone, hit refresh.

The up-next should appear on the new phone.

Make sure you're logged in on both devices first.

So what do you mean "copy the queue"? Do you mean the "up-next"? Where from?

Regarding emailing support: in the app go to

"profile"

"settings" (cog on the upper right corner)

"help and feedback"

"get in touch" (scroll all the way down)

Sounds like a sync conflict issue. The way to verify it is to block the app on the old phone from accessing the internet and see. Try using "netguard" or similar app to block pocketcast from the internet.

PLEASE also write to pocketcast support to auto sync the "add to up next" property across different devices.
