I've been warming up to switching to GrapheneOS for months. Last month I bought a Pixel 8 (which is the buggiest effing phone I've ever owned, good job Google). I've just been waiting to have the bandwidth.

But with Google sunsetting Google Podcasts, I've decided to make time next week. Podcasts are a MAJOR part of my daily functioning.

Yeah I think you might be missing something tbh. My Audiobookshelf auto downloads new episodes, playlist features work fine, sort features work fine. I don’t know if there’s a way to throw every downloaded but not yet listened to episode in a playlist, but I haven’t ever needed that feature. For keeping up with my podcasts though across platforms and for all my day to day podcast needs it has excelled.

Is it downloading them to your app, or just to your server? My server downloads just fine, I've just had a couple instances where I haven't been able to continue what I was listening to after leaving the house.

As for playlists, I really don't know what I'm doing wrong. I created one playlist but it was more work to use than just using the feed. Haven't been able to get it to play next tracks on podcasts at all, which has been rather frustrating. Might just be an issue with the app.
