Was this announced anywhere???

@mbc663, I checked the Announcements section of the forum and found nothing about Tidal and podcasts. I also tried a general overall search of the forum and only this thread shows up. I checked my e-mail too.
I think this is just a recent bug. At least I hope it is. The âTidal Fixâ is only a temporary solution at this point.
I think we will have to wait for the difference in time zones for @elan to chime in on this thread.
Although the temporary âTidal Fixâ works, letâs not all jump to any conclusions yet please and wait for either @elan or another Plex team member to chime in.

I am also experiencing this issue. Last night on my drive home from work my podcasts were functioning normally and now none of them are playing âŠ
I have discovered that this is also happening with the NEWS section.
Definitely something on Plexâs end where theyâre pulling from outside sources.
Iâve sent up the 
-signal, @ejmartin504 and others are looking into it! Weâre really sorry youâre running into this.

To echo @elan here, weâre very sorry to hear about this. It is likely due to an update we shipped this morning involving play queues. Iâm actively looking into this now. In the meantime, would anyone who is experiencing this issue mind attaching device logs?

I appreciate the effort. Adding podcasts was one of the most awesome things Plex has ever done. Some here might get a chuckle out of this: From 2007-ish up until Plex offered podcasts that could be listened to on both the Shield, web browser and mobile device, I used a Microsoft Zune. YesâŠI used a Zune for 11 years. I tried ditching it, but all the other podcasting apps sucked. But then Plex gave me the ability to listen to a podcast while I was out for a walk, then pick up where I left off in my living room with the Shield when I got home. Thatâs what it took to get me to ditch my Zune.

Here ya go
Ditto. I canât get a podcast to work on the android app nor the web client today. Yesterday, they were working great.
I surely miss my podcasts.
yes im getting 403 from https://play.provider.plex.tv/queues
that says <Error statusCode="403" error="Forbidden" message="'chrillep' does not have a linked Tidal account!"/> .
After linking my Tidal account. I get
<Error statusCode="403" error="Forbidden" message="'chrillep' has an expired Tidal subscription!"/> when trying to play podcasts, news or webshowsâŠ
Seems like itâs not looking at uri=provider://tv.plex.provider.webshows
and handling all providers as tidal âŠ
Same issue with me. No âonline contentâ like podcasts or web shows will play using the Windows 10 app/interface/program (or what ever the kids call it these daysâŠ). Things play fine on my Android phone, but while sitting at work the Windows 10 interface is much preferable.
@ejmartin504 now itâs working again! Cheers!

I was glad to have podcasts back last night. I grabbed my headphones and went for a walk just because podcasts were working again. Thanks @chrillep for finding the Tidal subscription error message. I never even knew about that play.provider.plex.tv website.

Hello! Iâm glad that all of you seem to be able to play podcasts on Plex, but I still cannot.
Even synched podcasts will only play a second, then the app will restart.
Here is the log.

Threads like this make me so glad I ditched podcasts on Plex. TV and Movies still work great, but Podcasts has been god-awful since launch.
Do yourself a favor and find another app for podcasts. Plex just ainât it (at least yet).
