Episodes copied over from another device do not show as downloaded.

App version: 3.11.2 (Google Play)

Android version: 16

Device model: Galaxy A26

Current behaviour:

Episodes copied over from another device (Galaxy A5) do not show as downloaded, even tho’ the files are placed in the correct folder on the current device (Galaxy A26).

I’ve tried 3 different podcast players so-far and they all have the same problem.

Doing an OPML export only specifies the Podcasts themselves. There is no data transfer about the individual files.

I could of course copy the episodes to a different folder like in Documents, Music, or to an SSD-card and direct AP to play them from there. But then I’m not getting any thumbnails or other info.

Manually copying files into AntennaPod’s internal folders is not supported. You can use “add local folder” to play those, but it will not connect them to the actual episodes.
