Subsonic Forum

Looked around and can't seem to find anything.

I just started using Subsonic on my android phone and I have a few podcasts I listen to on a regular basis.

The issue I'm having is that the podcasts are typically 1.5-2 hours in length and when I stop listening halfway through and then come back to it at a later time, the podcast is cleared from the player and the place I stopped is lost.

I can somewhat navigate back to the original file, although the specific podcast is mixed in with every other one that lives in the folder I keep them in, but then I'm also stuck having to try to guess where in the podcast I stopped. I would be nice if I were able to pick up where I left off.

I'm not really finding anything in the settings to address this. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I just started using Subsonic and this is a huge feature I would love to seefor the exact same reason. I listen to a LOT of Podcasts and would love some sort of bookmark feature! Imagine listening to an audio book......yeah, no bueno.

Does this feature exist???

I'm unaware of any bookmarking feature in Subsonic, but you can always download the podcast to whatever machine/phone your using, and use the playback software to approximate a bookmark. Android's native player, as well as others, will resume from a random stopping point, as I'm sure many Windows/Mac players on those machines.

It would be even more awesome if the server would integrate with Listen. I love the idea of serving them to myself so I only need one app, but I love the fact that listen will keep all of my podcasts in Google Reader, so I don't have to configure any of my podcasts on my Subsonic server. But I also like the idea that if my server/network is down that I could get them from the web directly.

True true. Though I'm hope to manage my music/Podcasts through Subsonic. It removes the need for extra storage needed on my phone. Though for anyone else looking for a great Podcast download/manager there is DoggCatcher, but like I said, I'm hoping to not have to download directly to my phone, but simply stream it.

Yeah, Listen is a great service as well. It's not quite perfect, but can do the job pretty good.

Are there plans to add this as a feature, or is this a setting I'm missing somewhere? I'd like to move from a mobile app to Subsonic for my podcatching, but not being able to save my location is a real disadvantage.
