An option to choose whether to automatically remove episodes from the queue when finished

After years of using Pocket Casts, I switched to AntennaPod. I’m happy with it, but what’s written in this thread is what bothers me the most. Sometimes I don’t listen to a podcast until the end (phone, sleeping… or whatever other reason) but the podcast keeps playing and disappears from the queue. I would like to be able to decide when to delete it (just like in Pocket Casts).

Another thing is that I miss the forward and back buttons on the bar at the bottom when a podcast is playing. Now there is only a play button. The only way to go forward or backward is to click on this bar, use forward and back, and then go back again.

You can already disable automatic deletion when played. Are you asking for something else?

I have “never delete” selected, but they always get deleted. The option doesn’t seem to be working. I’ve tried globally, and for each podcast individually, but they still get deleted.

Hi, just wanted to add my support for implementing this option that’s the one I miss the most from other podcast apps. It seems crazy to me that so many in the beginning of the thread were debating/not understanding the use for it when it seems pretty obvious and every other podcast app I tried has it.

Anyway, it would be great to not have to go in playback history and re sort my queue each time I missed the end of an episode !

I have never used any other podcast app that supports this. I am wondering if there is a mixing up between the queue and a playlist in people’s minds?

How are you not tired of misrepresenting this for a year and a half and still not reading people’s most basic points about why this creates unnecessary friction, sheesh. Go back up the thread for once instead of just talking down to people.

There is no confusion, we want them to not be removed from the queue
