Cbc The world this hour used to fill up my inbox but a few days ago only appears very sporadically even when I do a manual refresh. Inbox refreshes once per hour. Other podcasts seem to be still showing up.
Looks like they are just updating the entry every hour. When I added this podcast, 18:00 EST was the latest. Now that some time passed, the URL shows 19:00 EST, but a refresh in AntennaPod doesn’t bring the update with it.
I can bring up the current podcast on the subscriptions page with a refresh but it doesnt show in the inbox which is where I found them before. By the end of the day there were many cbc podcasts in the inbox. Now if I see one it is likely from a few hours ago.
I just changed the default action for that podcast to send new versions to the inbox instead of using the default option which was supposedly the same.
Additionally to the above text. I just manually updated the inbox at 0145 eastern time and the 0100 podcast appeared so possibly the problem is that the automatic update isn’t working with this broadcaster or the auto update was scheduled for after 0145.
There should be 6 or more episodes in the inbox overnight so I will update on the morning.
I think this is what you mentioned in the initial reply and only the most current version is staying in the inbox. Before all the earlier versions stayed there and were able to be played.
I imagine this is something the broadcaster changed so if you agree we can close this report.
I kind of like this podcast. Very terse and to the point. But with an ad usually in the front.
Here’s my take. It seems the RSS feed gets edited server side each hour. I seem to get the first episode of each day downloaded, but not the updates.
I can force updates by syncing all or just this podcast and I see the time change for the current episode, then manually downloading the current episode. This will put it in my queue, but it’s darker than the other queue entries as AntennaPod thinks it’s been listened to. Because I listened to an earlier of that day episode.
Not sure AntennaPod can cover this scenario. Guess is the publisher realizes that listening to previous episodes has low value over the current episode.
Seems to describe what I’m currently seeing happen.
They used to run an ad free version on a now defunct url that gave me a continuous loop on my internet radio that updated at about 10 after the hour. Handy for a quick listen at any time just by pressing a preset.
This abruptly ended one day inconveniencing a bunch of listeners and they replaced it with the ad supported podcast format. Normally a 30 second auto skip will bypass the ad but I wish the episodes would all show up like other news bulletins I listen to. Better than nothing though.
One could code or vibe-code an app that would download each hour’s recording. With some calendar work, it’d be possible.
Today I did listen to the first episode after my initial sync of the day. Upon coming home a bit later, and seeing headlines, I thought I’d get the most recent.
