Queue only one

Feature request
1

I would like at the subscription level to be able to enqueue the most recent episode automatically download and queue and remove prior episodes that are currently in queue

The most-recent-only setting would be perfect for keeping on top of a frequently updated news podcast.

For the download part you can activate auto download in settings then set your subscriptions to auto download or not.

But I don’t think you can control how many episodes per subscription with option to remove old one.
You can only set global number of downloaded episodes available. And auto remove episodes no longer in queue or already listened.

Can I reopen this request?

There is NPR news now. This is the news every hour on the hour.

So if I don’t listen every hour, I end up with a queue of 10 news hourly updates in the feed. Same over night as I don’t listen because I am asleep.

It would be great to have a new download automatically delete the old one. Basically an option for a maximum number of one podcast in a feed. I guess it could also be set to other number (five, ten, etc.). If you hit that number, any new podcast in the feed, deletes the oldest one. Repeats until set otherwise.

  1. Set max
  2. Update feed
  3. Download episodes until max hit.
  4. If max hit, delete oldest episode before downloading newer one.
  5. Repeat

Any change this could be possible in the next update?

With a couple steps, I handle a similar case.

The inbox gets several entries. I’ll download one or two that I want. The rest? I don’t want.

While in the Inbox: (actually works in the Queue as well)
Long tap the highest entry, choose Multiselect
Long tap again, Select all below
Then “Remove from Inbox” on the menu appearing at the bottom.

You have a few other options on that last menu.
