NEW:

Ok, so after 10 minutes trying to figure out how, how?

Sorry about that. Fixed something on the back end. You may have to restart the app but here should be a download button on the main screen for the podcast or one of its episodes just like there is for TV shows and such.

OK got it, but correct me if I am wrong.

There is no global setting. I have to set download options for every podcast?

Cant set a download for “On Deck” so the latest is on my device?

Yeah there is not a way to just set On Deck to download.

Oy, you expect people to set options for 100’s of podcasts? You need a global setting, like fast.

Most people don’t listen to “100’s” of podcasts, but i get your point. I didn’t mean to suggest that it would not be added in the future. I don’t know the plans on that but I brought it up to the folks who decide those things. Thanks for the feedback.

even if people have 25 or so, (I have much more and I am sure most do as well) and then consider that people have to constantly reinstall Plex because you know, it has a million bugs that require a reinstall, because you don’t fix any of them, the settings have to be done over and over again. Also people use more then one device, I happen to use a iPad and a iPhone for podcasts. See what I mean.

Look at Overcast, pretty much the podcast standard, set the global setting once for how many episodes to download and when to delete, quick and easy and gets applied to all current and added casts. Then can fine tune individual casts as needed.
