**Version 1.1.x ("Mein Neues Hobby")**
|
|
|
|
Escapepod is a simple and lightweight app with a minimalistic approach for listening to podcasts, which may not be to everyone's liking. The app has only a single screen. Playback controls and a list of podcasts that shows the five most recent episodes each. Escapepod has no podcast discovery feature. It only offers a very simple search option and it opens RSS podcast links when you tap them in a web browser.
|
|
|
|
Escapepod is free and open source. It is published under the [MIT open source license](https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT). Want to help? Please check out the notes in [CONTRIBUTE.md](https://codeberg.org/y20k/escapepod/src/branch/master/CONTRIBUTE.md) first.

## Frequent Questions
|
|
|
|
### Does Escapepod have playback queue?
|
|
Escapepod has a simple up-next feature. Tap play on an episode while listening to another one. You will be be given the opportunity add it to the up-next slot.
|
|
|
|
### What are the default settings?
|
|
- Auto-update does not download files over cellular network
|
|
- Escapepod by default only keeps two episodes
|
|
|
|
### Escapepod keeps more than two episodes.
|
|
Escapepod tries to reduce the number of episodes it keeps. Here are the rules for that:
|
|
|
|
- Escapepod keeps the latest two episodes
|
|
- Episodes, that have been started, or that have been downloaded manually, are kept, too
|
|
- the maximum number of episodes available (and kept) is five
|
|
|
|
### Does Escapepod support OMPL?
|
|
You can import a podcast list using the [OPML](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OPML) exchange format using the respective option in the app's Settings. The current podcast collection can be exported via Settings, too. Additionally Escapepod keeps an up-to-date OPML file in the folder `/Android/data/org.y20k.escapepod/files/collection/`.
|
|
|
|
### I cannot add podcast X.
|
|
Please report any podcast feeds, that are currently not working, using the [Issue Tracker](https://codeberg.org/y20k/escapepod/issues). Note: Escapepod does not support video podcasts.
|
|
|
|
### Where do the podcast search results come from?
|
|
Escapepod searches by default the [Podcastindex.org](https://podcastindex.org/) online database or, if you toggle the respective setting, the [gpodder.net](https://gpodder.net/directory/) online database.
|
|
|
|
### How can a suggest a new feature?
|
|
Escapepod is a lightweight app. To keep it simple and maintainable new features are rarely added. Before suggesting a new feature please have a look at [Contribute.md](https://codeberg.org/y20k/escapepod/src/branch/master/CONTRIBUTE.md) and ["Previous discussions and feature requests"](https://codeberg.org/y20k/escapepod/issues/24).
