Per discussion on Podcasts: Now With Less Beta! | Plex. I will quote: “Just also wanted to say that I’d really love to see support for downloading the podcasts to my server. Some, like hardcore history for instance, go away after a while, so being able to store on my server would be really helpful. Basically, I want the podcasts to work like all the video features already work and let me just stream from my own server.”
I agree completely.
I see the duplicate now but I did search, only I searched things tagged with “podcast” and the one you marked mine as a dupe of is not tagged as such.
