When you're done listening to the current episode and the end of the file has'nt been reached yet, you can use one of those 2 solutions:
Long press on the player next episode button. That way, the app will consider the current file as listened to and will automatically delete it and mark it as played according to your settings before skipping to the next episode.
You can also use the Skip Outro feature for this.
This setting can be set globally or per podcast.
When set globally in Settings/Player/Controls, this will tell the app that as soon as you press on skip forward (aka: +30s jump) towards the end of the current file, then the file is considered fully listened to and will be deleted and marked as played according to your settings before skipping to the next episode.
You will have to tell the app what you consider the end of the file to be using a percentage. Values range between 75% to 100%.
You can also customize this per podcast. To do this, go into the podcast custom settings and override the player settings.
When customizing per podcast, you can tell the app to automatically skip the last XX seconds of a podcast. This is useful when a podcast uses the same outro theme song after each episode. You can also tell the app to only trigger this if the skip forward (aka: +30s jump) command is pressed.
BTW, there's a Skip intro setting available in the podcast custom settings, that allows you to automatically start playback after the first XX seconds.
Is there a solution for podcasts with Dynamic Ad Insertion (DAI)?
Starting with version 2024.12, released in November 2024, Podcast Addict offers a Dynamic Ad Insertion (DAI) Playback Adjustment feature. This feature helps to address cases where DAI causes the actual episode duration to differ from the duration provided in the RSS feed. If DAI ads are only at the beginning or at the end of an episode, you can enable this adjustment to skip the intro or outro sections automatically and start or end playback at the correct position.
Please note that this feature works only for podcasts with ads inserted exclusively at the beginning or end. If ads are inserted in the middle or at both the beginning and end, this feature will not be effective.
To enable DAI Playback Adjustment:
Open the specific podcast’s Custom settings page.
Navigate to Player > DAI Playback Adjustment.
Select whether to apply this adjustment at the beginning (intro), end (outro), both, or keep it disabled.
