Podcast Autodownload

[truthsword]

I'd like to see the option to auto download available podcasts, and also to be able to restrict auto-downloads to Wi-Fi connections. Great app! Thanks for all your work.

This has been mentioned a few times here and on Discord. Two of the issues are #774 and #247

I'm more interested in podcast downloading as they are consumed much more rapidly than books. Hopefully this might come about in a future release.

Yep, we should have a setting per playlist to automatically download items.

Good to see others also want the feature.

The average audiobook is ~10 hrs long, so auto-download are understandably a lower priority since it happens so infrequently. Conversely, podcasts are much shorter and more frequent, so auto-downloading would be a much more appreciated setting for those users.

I switched back to Pocket Casts... Too many times on the road, where I discovered I forgot to manually download podcasts before leaving the house (I'm data constrained). Pocket Cast does that for me automagically over Wi-Fi..
