add option "do not add playing episodes to the queue" #4339
base: develop
Are you sure you want to change the base?

This change sounds like it could be a bit risky. What episodes does AntennaPod play next when enabling the "Follow queue" setting? How do external media players display the queue (we send it to them using a MediaSession). What happens when you skip an episode? One should probably have a close look at |
The behaviour should be same like playing an episode and then manually removing it from the queue. |
I totally agree with this. I don't want to use the queue at all unless I want to make a queue for some special reason like I need 3 podcasts to play in order because I don't want to use my hands to switch to the next podcast when I'm busy for a couple of hours. Also, I usually want to listen to 1 podcast at a time and I don't want it to continue to another podcast I have downloaded for later. |
Now that I think of it, it could actually also be valid to never add playing episodes to the queue automatically and follow whatever list you look at when pressing the play button. I am still a bit undecided in what direction the queue feature should go in the future. |
Yep, think of it as manual versus automatic mode. It also avoids accidentally falling asleep to a single podcast only to find out you played your whole queue you didn't realize you made overnight and have to download the episodes again. That's happened to me once. |

That's indeed requested through #1533.
There are already measures you can take: disable continuous playback and/or automatic download. |
Some users, including me, just want to listen to a podcast and do not want that it gets automatically added to the queue.
Futhermore I only want to see episodes showing up in the queue if I manually add them.
This adds the matching "auto enqueue playing" media setting.
Closes #3246
