I think we can all agree that podcast support in Plex is a hot mess. I know it can’t be fixed overnight, but a few overall changes would greatly improve its usability! Currently, I use Plex to manage and consume all of my media EXCEPT podcasts. Let’s change that! By default, a newly added podcas…

[image] Noah0504: Using the web interface, there is no visual indication of whether and episode is played/unplayed. As far I as know, they only way to know is to select the options for a specific episode and see if you can mark the episode as played or unplayed. This is, and has been the sing…

Quoted from: Fixed unplayed indicator badge appearing on recently played podcasts Server Version: 1.21.3.4021 Mac Web Version: 4.51.1 Wait… This doesn’t address how podcasts appear unplayed or played in some Podcast views. Maybe we weren’t clear in which views this was a problem. In Episodes…

[image] oskyplop: Did I miss something? Well, there definitely are no indicators when browsing a podcast by shows view. However, I don’t see them when browsing by episode view either. :man_shrugging:

and this issue needs to be fixed as well! [image] Podcasts not updating with new episodes Online Media Sources Since yesterday (8/23/2020) evening none of my podcasts are updating with new episodes, on Roku, Web, and Phone [image] Outdated podcasts O…

I opened the forums to request that podcasts not be added to the queue automatically, but I see this post does a great job of highlighting that and other issues around podcast handling. So I’ll just reply to draw attention to this post instead. So I’d suggest that AT LEAST stop adding episodes to …

Great post, and some good choice of Podcasts! (Checkout Late Night Linux and Self Hosted Show). I’d just like to add I too have noticed these problems and every single one is an absolute deal breaker. For me the big one was the the playlist. Plex needs a dedicated separate playlist, not that I use…

Why is no Plex Dev’s commenting on this? I have seen severall topics about the same, but they have been closed due to inactivity. This is a hughe issue, as it gets difficult to remember what I have listened to. On my mobile app everything is ok. But on the windows app, and via browser it is not w…

Making a comment to keep this open. My biggest issue is that no matter how a show is sorted (oldest or newest first) the next episode that’s auto played after an episode finishes is never the next episode, it’s always the previous episode. I believe this may have something to do with what was ment…

I just noticed the play queue thing for the first time today, and it is super annoying for sure. Going to a podcast, selecting one episode directly to play and it adds all 1000 episodes to the queue. Add to queue adds to the end of the 1000, and play next is a pain because then you have to reorder …

Allowing podcasts to be ordered descending but played ascending is a must. The current behavior (playback order follows sort order) not only departs from existing convention, but annoys the user due to having to manually play each newer subsequent podcast. Let’s upvote this Feature Request .
