Hi @Eric_LaRoche
Welcome to the AntennaPod forum.
The Downloads screen will not get a filter back. Instead, if you want to apply actions to a specific group of episodes (e.g. downloaded & played), this should be possible.
We plan to add multi-select to the “all episodes” list, where extensive filtering is already possible. Then you can flexibly filter the list, use “select all” and perform an action. Given that AntennaPod is developed by volunteers that might take a bit of time, though.
