Hello,
That’s being worked on currently here: Add option to enabled sleep timer based on current time by mueller-ma · Pull Request #6384 · AntennaPod/AntennaPod · GitHub Given the current activity it looks like we can expect it in an update/version relatively soon :slightly_smiling_face:

IMO one small improvement necessary for auto enabling sleep timers:

App version 3.11, F-Droid.

The feature to automatically set sleep timer during selected hours when pressing Play works nice:

  • Sleep timer is configured to auto start (e.g. for 30 mins)

  • When timer counts to 0, playing stops

  • User clicks Play again, timer starts with initial value (e.g. 30 mins)

But I think there is a bug if user manually stops it while timer has not stopped it yet:

  • Sleep timer is configured to auto start (e.g. for 30 mins)

  • User manually stops podcast, before timer stops it (e.g. at minute 25)

  • Next time user clicks play - sleep times starts, but starts with remaining value (e.g. 5 mins), and not initial value (e.g. 30 mins).

I think sleep time should automatically start always with initial value (e.g. 30 mins) and not remaining time (e.g. 5 mins).

P.S. if it is intentionally like that (even if it looks odd for me), then would be nice to have another checkbox in sleep timer settings like “When automatically setting timers, set them from initial value”. If this option is not selected, then timers would restart for remaining time.
