Story:
I just wanted to exclude a few feeds from my daily auto downloads, since they are all added to queue even if I don’t want to listen to them now.
So I headed to the feed settings and disabled the auto download and received a popup with the content:
Use on existing episodes
The new Auto-Download-Setting will be automaticalle be used on new episodes.
Do you want to include already released episodes?
(Rughly translated from german)
Question:
Is it wanted the popup will be shown for enabling and disabling?
There is no indicator what was choosen before or what the normal behavior is and I don’t know the expected behavior for any usecase.
- Enabling and No: Will it only download new episodes from this date?
- Enabling and Yes: Will it download also already released episodes which are marked as new?
(Sidequestion: I believe “new” means new since adding the feed?) - Disabling and No: Epidsodes marked as new but released before changing this setting still getting downloaded? Which they already should been?
- Disabling and Yes: Completley off?
Edit: Also what is the standart behaviour? Since you can close the popup by taping outside of the box.
So I don’t know if the behavior is intentional, but it is also confusing (at least for me).
Steps to reproduce:
- Enable global auto download
- Add podcast
- Disable auto download for this feed
- Enable the auto download again
Environment:
Autodownload global: on
