Did you follow these steps? Automatic downloads – AntennaPod

Hi, thanks for the reply.

I’ve been using Antennapod for years. It’s always worked great. Has something changed here, or is it a bug in the beta ( see The Skip Button Doesn't Work - #3 by robertmac )? I’ve always been very satisfied with the service.

Best regards, Robert

Nothing has changed and there is no known bug in the beta around auto-download. The beta rewrites playback, not auto-download. Did you go through the steps mentioned above?

Hi. I changed the default action for new episodes. I never had to do that before. Now I’ll see if it made any difference tomorrow. I’ll let you know here tomorrow.

Regards,

Robert.
