Keep max X episodes downloaded?

Feature request

Hi guys!

How to achieve the following:

Keep max X number of episodes of a podcast downloaded.

If X is reached, start deleting oldest downloaded one to allow downloading the latest one.

Thoughts on this request?

Just stopped by to say that I searched for exactly that in this forum. I’m using Antennapod on a device in my car and would like to have the newest episodes downloaded. As syncing is not working at the moment and I listen to podcasts on several devices this would be perfect.

Desired feature:

In the Podcast settings of a specific subscription, add the option “Keep at most N recent episodes” to the “auto download settings”. If set, whenever a new episode is downloaded, older episodes beyond N recent ones will be auto deleted and removed from queues and inbox.

Use case:

Here is my typical workflow of AntennaPod:

  1. Turn on auto-download of my subscriptions
  2. Periodically check “Inbox” and add new episodes into the “Queue”

However, some types of subscrptions (e.g. news) produce new episodes very frequently so I have to remove stale episodes manually from time to time, otherwise the queue length is ever increasing. I think this feature would address this pain point.
