I think the feature I miss the most is some system to indicate which podcasts have new episodes that I haven't heard yet. This works reasonably well, however, going through the internet radio menus (or search) to find a podcast every time you want to listen to it can be pretty bothersome. I have been using the internet radio shows to access podcasts as you suggest. At one time I did sit down with and entered the rss-url of every podcast I wanted to follow, but I never really started using it because it did not work very well. That is my personal experience at least while I use podcasts a lot on almost every other platform I use, I never really got started with setting it up on the squeezebox. However, one reason for lack of interest could be that the current support for podcast is so bad (sorry) that people just dont get into it. Personally I really love podcasts and subscribe to like 20-30 of them. It seems very surprising to me that there is no interest in podcasts in the community. Where do I get 7.8? It sounds like I should get that. I think that one is called 7.7."something". I just downloaded the LMS version currently available on. Actually I started using it recently, before I mostly just used (I listen to spotify a lot and only recently found out how vastly superior the 3'rd party spotify plugin is). Podcasts without the need to add them to the podcasts menu. Internet Radio's shows as well? These provide easy access to many Listening (which is a bit surprising to me).ĭo you usually add podcasts to your list, or do you just use the Which made me assume there just isn't too much interest in podcast Work on this on hold was the total lack of feedback from the community. That sounds interesting, but unlikely to happen. > Ideally though it would be smart like grouping all new un-played > all news-podcasts and all music-podcasts in different categories.

Maybe through some plugin or something I havent been able to find. I think these types of features are pretty standard for podcatchers/podcast-players, so I am little disappointed that the squeezebox simply presents a flat list of previous episodes for each podcast. Ideally though it would be smart like grouping all new un-played podcasts or something like that. It could be simple like manually grouping all news-podcasts and all music-podcasts in different categories.
