I would think I should simply launch Podcasts app and click on a podcast episode to play. But I only get audio. Where is the video picture? Apple Podcasts 1.1.0 MacOS 14.4.1 Sonoma

The new Transcript functionality is awesome on iOS and MacOS, but I want to be able to save excerpts from it. The selection is limited though, is there any way to export a larger chunk of the transcript?

I don't know if this is possible or not: I would like to see the history of all the podcasts I have ever listened to. Is this possible?

The Apple Podcasts app for iPhone is one of the buggiest pieces of software I've ever used. It crashes frequently, often failing to remember the last played content (instead it brings up something much older), so I can't easily resume listening. Of all the bugs, there is one that occurs predictably: The deactivation of Low Power Mode causes the app to crash. So when the iPhone is plugged in and charging, there will come a point when an 80% charge is reached, triggering the deactivation of Low Power Mode, and in turn a crash of the Podcasts app. The correlation is clear due to the notification: > **Low Power Mode turned off** > > Battery sufficiently charged. Having Low Power Mode enabled improves the app's performance, in the sense that crashes occur less frequently. But when charging it's only a matter of time before 80% is reached. Freeing up storage space also reduces the frequency of crashes, but does not prevent crashes triggered by the Low Power Mode bug. I am wondering: - Have others experienced this with Podcasts or other apps? - Is there a way to prevent Low Power Mode from automatically deactivating?

I use Apple podcasts with Homepods. iOs 15 I can ask Siri "Play podcast X" It then plays the lasted unlistened podcast from the series X. However it does not mark it as played so when next time I ask Siri to "Play podcast X" it plays the same podcast. If I listen to the podcast from my iPad or just mark it as listened to then on the Homepod it will play the unlistened episode How do I get Hopepod to mark the episode as played?

Recently I have observed the Podcasts app *opening* unexpectedly on my mac, roughly once a month but with no pattern I've been able to identify. This interrupts me from doing what I actually want to do, so I want to prevent the app from opening. As I do all my podcast listening through my phone, I would be happy to delete the app from my mac, though this appears to not be possible — there no "Move to Bin" option in the contextual menu for most of the pre-installed Apple apps, and the File > Delete Immediately menu item is disabled. Given my goal is to stop being interrupted, any suggestions why might the app be opening without any apparent action on my part, *or* how can I delete the app from my mac? - Preferences > Users & Groups > (me) > Login items is empty - Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts does not list any keyboard shortcuts associated with Podcasts.app - MacOS 11.6 (20G165) - Podcast.app 1.1.0 (1575.1.2)

In the old iTunes days, both podcast episodes and music tracks were available when creating a playlist. (I like to mix things up when going for a run without having to manually switch things around in the middle of running.) How can the same be achieved using the new applications (Music, Podcasts etc.)? Are there alternative ways?

My podcasts do not sync between my MacBook Air M1 and my iPhone 11 Pro Max. Furthermore, when I bring up the iOS Podcast App from my iPhone using Handoff and click on it on my Mac, I get an error message “Podcast not Available You are not following [some random date] on this device". I am signed in on the same iCloud account and all software is up to date. Everything else on iCloud seems to sync fine. Can anyone shed some light on this?

I'm using the Apple podcasts app on ios 14.6 on an iphone 7+ and on the Library tab there is a "Recently updated" section, but my friend has an iphone XR on ios 14.6 and on his Library tab it says "Recently followed". Does the app differ based on iphone version instead of ios version?

When a podcast that I follow releases a new episode, I often elect to skip listening to it if it doesn’t interest me. Prior to iOS 14.5, I did this by “deleting” the episode from my library. Now that option is gone. I’ve discovered that I can still dequeue an episode by marking it is played, but that conflates played and unplayed episodes. I’m happy to learn a new a paradigm for organizing podcasts but I can’t figure out what Apple wants me to do here.

how would I stop that? I don't remember te fscking password

I have both a Mac (macOS Catalina) and an iPhone (iOS 13.5.1). When I find a podcast in the Apple Podcasts directory I'd like to be able to subscribe to that podcast in any RSS reader, which requires having the RSS URL. Since, not all "podcatchers" have complete/up-to-date directories, having the URL of the actual feed would make it easy to subscribe to any particular podcast. Given that having an RSS feed is a requirement for a podcast being listed in the Apple Podcasts directory, there must be some way to find the RSS URL.

They're just podcasts. Episodes should be either downloaded or not downloaded, and podcasts should be either subscribed to not subscribed. But it seems an episode can be "in your library" without being downloaded, and a podcast can be "in your library" without being subscribed. What does that even mean? (I'm referring to Podcasts on both Mac OS and iOS.)

I recently updated to Mac OS Catalina, so I no longer have iTunes. I've already tried deleting the Podcast App and re-installing, but there are still podcast episodes "Synced from iTunes."

I subscribe to a set of podcasts in which each "episode" is a song. I want to convert the episodes into songs in my music library. Prior to Catalina, this was [straightforward](https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6050904) . I'd edit the podcasts to change the "media kind" from podcast to music, then edit a couple other metadata fields. Now with Catalina, iTunes has been split into separate music and podcasts apps. I can start the podcasts app and select a "show" to see the episodes for a podcast. From there, the first thing I tried was to drag several episodes into the music app. First of all, dragging more than about ten episodes at once causes the podcasts app to crash. I suppose that's a bug which Apple will eventually fix. Dragging a small number of episodes into the music app does indeed import the file into music. But absolutely none of the metadata for the episode is retained. The only metadata field which is filled in is the song title, which is set from the filename including the ".mp3" extension: Does anyone know of a practical way to save podcast episodes as music on Catalina, preserving the information about the episode which was provided by the publisher? Edit: Actually, importing into the music app didn't work at all. the Music app recorded the file's location as ".../iTunes%20Music/Podcasts/KEXP%20Song%20of%20the%20Day/Squid%20-%20Match%20Bet.mp3", i.e. the location of the podcast app's copy of the file. And the music app seems to think the song is zero length for some reason.

A podcast I'm listening has issues in the last few episodes, possibly since the iOS 13 update but I'm not sure. At some point in the podcast the playing stops. In the "progress view" at the bottom of the app the podcast logo and times disappear and it says "Not Playing". Looks like the app can't decode a specific part of the compressed audio. You can skip the bad part. Podcast author says he had a few people telling him about the issue, but he didn't change anything in his production process. Is this a know bug in iOS 13? Were there changes in the file formats supported by the Podcasts app?

How to make the podcasts play one after the other without having to start each one individually

No matter what screen I'm on, it's always the same.... unable to sort. Why even include the feature at all? Is this a bug?

I like that my Apple Watch (series 3) shows a Now Playing screen whilst listening to a Podcast on my iPhone; however I often accidentally press the playback speed button on it. This is annoying and frustrating and personally it's a function I never have a use for. Is there any way I can remove, disable or lock this functionality? thank you

iTunes quit downloading episodes for one of my subscribed podcasts. The episodes are listed in the iTunes Store but they no longer download. I tried deleting the podcast and resubscribing but it quits at the same spot. Is there a way for me to reset iTunes or the podcast to get this working? It's working for other subscribers but not for me. The same happens in the Podcasts app for iPhone.
