Life Hack!
I won’t make you go read all my posts above so I am going to summarize what I have experienced.
I am using the F-Droid version
This issue only happens on podcasts that have ads inserted.
I don’t stream the podcasts. I always download.
When it happens, I delete the episode and redownload it and the problem does not appear for that particular episode.
On accident I found a trick that works
If podcast skips, I rewind and then hit pause, let it sit for 5 seconds, press play and boom, it doesn’t skip again.
Came looking for answers. Another Google refugee. I am listening on a Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra
I normally listen (stream) while driving, so I’m sure there are moments between towers & dead spots where connection is halted.
Semi-regular instances of sudden skip-backs, replaying a section. Does NOT seem to coincide w/Ad breaks. Whatever time is repeated is then missed at the end of the episode, so if it happens too much, you lose more than the closing credits.
Still seeing this problem on a OnePlus Nord running Android 12, with AntennaPod 3.5.0 (300baf6dd) installed from Google Play (I think)
I only stream pods, typically from the episode list in the subscriptions section. I never download. I’ve seen the problem with various podcasts including The News Agents (Global), The Rest Is Politics (Goalhanger), The Rest is Money (Goalhanger), and Talking Politics (ITV News).
I am also experiencing this issue.
I mostly stream episodes via wifi and data. I’ve had this happen with several podcasts. some examples: Lore, No Dogs in Space, Ongoing History of New Music.
Sometimes it skips forward, sometimes back.
It seems to be happening in podcasts that are trying to insert ads.
