Delete episodes on "Mark Played" when Auto-delete enabled

Feature request
1

App version: 2.1.1 (a7c6e697c) from Google Play

Problem you may be having, or feature you want:

When “Auto-delete” is enabled, episodes should also be deleted when they’re marked “Played” as that’s equivalent to reaching the end of playback

I agree, I have the same issue, although it seems to me like a bug, but if it is not and this is done by design, than please add this feature ASAP, my storage is constantly exploding because of that

I agree this would be immensely helpful especially with newly launched mark as played. Else at-least add option to delete on swipe actions. As deleting episode also removes it from queue.

I was just coming here to ask for the same. Delete removes it from the queue but doesn’t mark it as played. That’s fine.

I’d love it if you could hit mark as played from the queue and it would delete the download and remove it from the queue.

This is the one feature that this app is missing.

There is a new request for this in July 2024 but I voted for both anyway as this is such an obvious feature it should be the default - who wants to keep something they marked as played, ie, keeping something in the queue they marked as played and didn’t even bother listening to all the way through.

This is what the “skip” button is for. It removes from the queue and (optionally) deletes the download. It doesn’t mark as played because that episode is not actually played at that point (it only marks as played if you are already close to the end)

Hi byte hamster this doesn’t work when I’m cycling when I just want the queue to play continuously. Also it doesn’t remove the problem of the queue being full of podcasts I decided I don’t want to listen to and marked as played.

The bigger picture is why does the queue include things that have been marked as played, surely the default should be to remove these from the queue
