Hello,
There is an open feature request for this.
opened 09:50PM - 16 Aug 23 UTC
Type: Feature request
Needs: Decision
Functionality: Playback & player screen
### Checklist
- [X] I have used the search function for [open](https://github.c… om/AntennaPod/AntennaPod/issues) **and** [closed](https://github.com/AntennaPod/AntennaPod/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aclosed) issues to see if someone else has already submitted the same feature request.
- [X] I will describe the problem with as much detail as possible.
- [X] This request contains only one single feature, **not** a list of multiple (related) features.
### App version
3.0.2
### Where did you get the app from
Google Play
### Problem you may be having, or feature you want
Currently if I have a queue like so:
```
podcast1 (downloaded, playing)
podcast2 (not downloaded)
podcast3 (downloaded)
```
and I reach the end of `podcast1`, playback will stop and I'm unable to resume through headphone controls. When I'm on a bike I would have to stop and retrieve my phone from my backpack to navigate to the next downloaded podcast.
### Suggested solution
I can think of two choices:
Option 1: Playback could (automatically) skip over undownloaded podcasts until reaching one that's downloaded, and resume playing there.
Option 2: When the user presses play (via a headset, for example), playback would then resume at the next downloaded podcast.
Perhaps this is subsumed by automatic downloads, and only occurs if they're off or podcasts can't be downloaded?
### Screenshots / Drawings / Technical details
This might overlap with streaming functionality, and perhaps should only be enabled if streaming is off
