My podcasts have always been set to go to the inbox and then auto add to the queue. For the past couple of months only some podcasts contribute to do this, with others remaining in the inbox. I have to manually select to download them from the inbox to get them in the queue. The settings for all of my podcasts are the same so in at a loss as to why some hit the queue and others pile up in the inbox for me to manually download. Help please!

I also have the problem that podcasts set to auto download are not. Settings look correct to me but just lots don’t download.

Annoying to have to manually download episdoes despite them being set to auto download.

You likely reached the limit of episodes to download. Increase the limit or delete episodes. Removing them from the queue does not delete. You need to look at the downloads screen.

Have deleted some from Downloads and will see what happens but 1) some podcasts had still been downloading automatically and 2) it would be useful if there was an alert if too many episodes to allow downlaod of more. Thanks,
