Antennapod: FR: Play next in feed if playback initiated from feed overview (+ reversed feed)

[keunes]

I sometimes like to listen to a bunch episodes from one show, just to catch up with the feed after holidays. Currently, this is possible by manually sorting the queue, but I find it quite a hassle to do so. Quite some other users seem to want to be able to play the episodes just from one feed, because they're listening to an audio play, lectures, or alike.

Therefore I'd like to propose:

• to make AP play the next episode in the feed list when the currently playing episode is finished, when playback is initiated from the feed list rather than from the queue
• to introduce a new feed-setting to reverse the order in the feed screen so that the newest episode of the feed would be shown at the bottom of the list (and new episodes would be added to the bottom). If enabled, I can then listen to that episode in sequential order by tapping on the highest listed (and thus the oldest) episode, after which AP will continue playback down the list (to more recent episodes).

Feed screen as dedicated queue, change of perspective (?)
I have the feeling often we as (wannabe-)developers* see the feed screen as a way to manage episodes of that particular feed, and a way to reach information and settings of that feed. Given the large amount of talk about multiple playlists and stuff, however, I believe many people could easily or already see/perceive the feed overview as a special playlst or dedicated queue for one show, and I think we should adapt our perspective accordingly. When doing so, the proposed makes more sense than current behaviour, regardless the use case. Rather than jumping from one queue to the other (dedicated to general) without any feedback to the user, AP sticks to the queue from which the user initiated playback.

 * I consider myself to be one of the wannabe-developers

PS. Actually I think this was proposed by someone else already as part of another discussion, but I couldn't find it

(I thought there was another discussion somewhere, but maybe I'm wrong and my memory just is terribly bad)

+1 to playback of next podcast episode from the same feed if there are more unlisten to episodes.

+1 I would really like to see this feature added as well. Very convenient for history, lecture type of podcasts. It's the only thing missing in antennapod for me :( Thank you!!

+1 This would be great for audio dramas or or podcasts that use episodes to tell a story, such as Serial.

Current work around is to select all episodes from the feed view, add the episodes to the queue, sort the queue by episode title or date, then by feed title. Then scroll to the feed you want.
