Offline Listening?

LOVE the fact this podcasts are part of Plex!!!
I don’t see a way to download them yet, though. Am I missing where it is in the interface? I travel for work, and without offline listening, this feature isn’t very useful to me. As soon as I find it/it gets implemented, though, I will finally be able to abandon iTunes.
Keep up the GREAT work!!!

@WJZ Thank you for loving the new feature and for being a fan of Plex! Regardless offline podcasts, that is not currently available, but it is definitely something we are working on.

Thank you for the reply. I’ll second the request for offline support, in particular on iOS.

+1 for the need to support downloading podcasts. Offline listening is the most basic feature of any podcast app.

We also need the ability to auto download/delete podcasts on a schedule. I’ve been waiting for podcasts in Plex for a long while but as they are now I don’t see any reason to switch from my podcast client on Android

+1 for Plex Sync support for podcasts to get added to the backlog. Downloading/syncing and having the (watched)/unplayed flag updated upon the next sync would be pretty slick.

+1 as well… this is what podcasting is all about. What you added is simply streaming radio. Not the same. I want to download and add to a local library to listen to on demand. you know, PODCASTING!

Podcasts was released in beta, so it is not yet finished. We have more planned for it and are taking into consideration the suggestions provided in the forums for making the feature better :smiley: As mentioned earlier (and in the email newsletter), downloading / offline listening of Podcasts is coming soon.

Not soon enough! Its been 6 weeks or so. Define “coming weeks”?

It’s in testing, but I don’t have an ETA for release to share.

@kinoCharlino while your working out the beta figure out why my podcasts keep showing a negative number occasionally 25%20PM

We’re aware of this issue and have it filed with engineering already.
