FREQUENT QUESTIONS
DOES ESCAPEPOD HAVE PLAYBACK QUEUE?
Escapepod has a simple up-next feature. Tap play on an episode while listening to another one. You will be be given the opportunity add it to the up-next slot.
WHAT ARE THE DEFAULT SETTINGS?
- Auto-update does not download files over cellular network
- Escapepod by default only keeps two episodes
CAN ESCAPEPOD KEEPS MORE THAN TWO EPISODES?
Escapepod tries to reduce the number of episodes it keeps. Here are the rules for that:
- Escapepod keeps the latest two episodes
- Episodes, that have been started, or that have been downloaded manually, are kept, too
- Episodes that have not been listened to in more than two weeks are removed.
DOES ESCAPEPOD SUPPORT OPML?
You can import a podcast list using the OPML exchange format using the respective option in the app's Settings. The current podcast collection can be exported via Settings, too. Additionally Escapepod keeps an up-to-date OPML file in the folder /Android/data/org.y20k.escapepod/files/collection/.
WHERE DO THE PODCAST SEARCH RESULTS COME FROM?
Escapepod searches by default the Podcastindex.org (https://podcastindex.org/) online database - or if you toggle the respective setting the gpodder.net (https://gpodder.net/directory/) online database.
