Add ability to autoplay episodes from the same podcast after the end of a podcast is reached

Open mitchdowney opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

For example, I subscribe to a new podcast, and then I want to start playing from some particular episode, then through the episodes sequentially from that point without downloading them. I don’t want to have to manually add them to a queue, because, for example, let’s say that after I’ve listened to 2 or 3 episodes of that first podcast, say I want to jump to another podcast and start playing from some particular episode, then through episodes sequentially from that point. If I added the episodes from the first podcast to a queue, those episodes previously added to the queue would play first, or I would have to manually delete them in order to play the second podcast as I describe.

With the Apple podcast app, I can start with a particular episode of a podcast, and start playing them sequentially without having to download them or add them to a queue, then—when I want to switch to another podcast—I simply go to that second podcast, start play with the episode I choose, and from there, the episodes of this second podcast will play sequentially until I stop. I do not have to manually create a queue, or do not have to download episodes in order to play them sequentially.

I would also like to add my voice to support the prioritization of this feature =)

@x10an14 I agree it would be a useful feature. I haven't been able to figure out how we'd do it yet...I'm not sure how to code the logic for getting the next (or previous) episode 🤔

Hi, Turd here I hope I am not out of line in commenting. Would it be possible to just put a toggle that gives the user the option on how to group their list by either 1.) Podcast, ascending order or 2.) Ascending order regardless of podcast?

@Trolladactyl we could definitely add some sort of configuration options. I haven't really thought through how this feature would be added yet though. There are a few moving parts to think about between the player, and figuring out what the next episode that should play should be, and syncing with server...realistically I don't see myself working on this until early 2023.
