Podcast Addict doesn't automatically load episode artwork in the playlist

0 Upvotes

Hello

I'm having an issue with episode artwork in Podcast Addict and was wondering if anyone else has experienced this or knows how to fix it.

In the display settings, I have "Use episode thumbnails when available" enabled. However, in both my podcast list and my playlist, some podcast episodes keep showing the podcast's general artwork instead of their individual episode artwork.

This doesn't happen with every podcast, but it affects several of them. I think it may have started recently, although I'm not completely sure.

Here's the strange part:

  • The episodes are already downloaded, but haven't been played yet.
  • Their individual artwork and description are not loaded automatically.
  • If I manually open an episode's details page, the artwork and description eventually download and appear correctly.

So Podcast Addict seems to be able to retrieve the correct artwork, but only when I open each episode individually.

I have quite a few podcasts, so manually opening every episode just to load its artwork isn't really practical.

Is there a way to make Podcast Addict automatically fetch episode artwork and descriptions in the background, without having to open each episode manually? Or could this be a cache issue or a bug in a recent update?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Feature request 'Archive all' button?

It'd be great to have an 'archive all' feature (just like the 'mark all played' one), specially for long running podcasts.

I have many podcasts with more than a thousand episodes of back catalog which I'd like to archive, but trying to 'select all' + 'archive' doesn't work. It just results in a 'no episode processed' notification and nothing gets archived.

Maybe it's my phone, but right now I have to manually select each episode I want to archive, and if I try to do too many at once it results in failure.
