opencast: podcast player

opencast 2026.10.2 lets a show download its new episodes on its own and keep only the latest few, shows the chapters built into an episode's audio, and lets a smart playlist put your favorite shows first. • download new episodes: turn it on for a show and its newest episode downloads by itself, on wi-fi unless you say otherwise. keep downloaded trims a show to its latest 1, 2, 3, 5 or 10 episodes and never touches the one that's playing • a new storage screen in downloads shows which shows are using your space, group by show keeps the list tidy, and download settings puts every download option in one place • chapters built into the audio file appear on the episode page and in now playing, with previous and next buttons, a chapter list, and marks on the progress bar. thanks to @gonzaloflirt • smart playlists can put chosen shows first: pick them in the new priority rule and drag to set the order • sleep timer presets now start at 5 and 10 minutes, and you can change all six to whatever you like • requeue interrupted episode in settings > playback puts the episode you were listening to back at the head of up next when you start another. off unless you turn it on • in the inbox's group by podcast view, touch and hold a show to play its latest, play all next or last, mark all played, or refresh • settings > look & feel gathers appearance, app icon and badges. the tab bar no longer shrinks as you scroll; turn that back on there if you miss it • now playing opens faster from the mini player • fixes: downloads from hosts whose links have no file extension now play and are repaired on launch, lock screen artwork stays sharp, and a failed ad detection says so and offers a retry thanks to @gonzaloflirt for the code, and to @buzzo10000 and @ncbeebs for the requests in this release. full release notes: https://github.com/connlark/opencast/releases/tag/2026.10.2
