Auto Download
I can confirm that something’s off - I’m getting an “IO Error – Handshake failed” when trying to subscribe via the RSS address & podcast search. The feed seems to open just fine in my mobile browser.
The F-Droid version of the app (which ships its own SSL implementation and does not use the one from Android/Google Play Services) does work. I have a prototype to make this work with the Google Play version as well but it will need to be tested a bit more. So it probably won’t be released before AntennaPod 2.7.0.
