I’ve been using the podcast feature a lot, but it has been eating my data on my phone. . . . Is there a way to make sure podcasts only use wifi to download? I know, I can download them ahead of time, but sometimes I start playing a new podcast over wifi, and continue listening after leaving wifi and it keeps streaming over data. I don’t want this behavior. I have also found I cannot download a podcast that I have already started listening to. . . ---

The wifi only for podcast would be a great option to control data usage! I have been ‘losing’ a lot of data via plex with podcast on android. Is their a way of listing synced podcasts without connecting to the internet on android Also a way of only playing synced content from podcasts, as it plays a synced podcast then starts streaming a non synced podcast. Plex is a great system and the podcast section is awesome ---
