Podcast android

Hi User956665,

Are you still having trouble with your podcasts? Make sure that the tracks are inside the Podcasts folder on your Android controller. If they are there, under "This Mobile Device" you should see a Podcasts folder. You can also have the podcasts inside your Music folder, and then check under Music by name. 

Is your Podcast folder blank, or not there? Do you have any music listed under "This Mobile Device?"

Thanks

I'm having some trouble, but things are looking better.  I was able to download and configure Pocket Casts so that it resides in the Podcasts folder, but Pocket Casts makes in impossible to just have the podcasts right under the Podcasts folder.  Instead, the configuration is :

Android/Podcasts/Pocket Casts/Podcasts

Podcasts show up in Sonos and I can play them.  However, they don't refresh consistently. I try refreshing in Pocket Casts, then refreshing in Sonos, closing Sonos, rebooting, etc.  It syncs sporadically.  I have spent well over an hour trying to fix this.  Any suggestons?

I'm having the same issue. Despite setting the Pocketcasts download folder to /sdcard/Podcasts the app adds folders which cause Sonos to ignore the files. Could the Sonos Android app be updated to look anywhere under the /Podcasts folder?

Same issue here. Installed the app (Pocket casts) which should work according to Sonos - no luck. Can make it work with Podcast addict if I manually copy the mp3-files to the Podcasts directory, but it should not be necessary. I assume the same would work for Pocket casts too.

Running Android 4.3, Sonos-ctrl 5.1.

I appreciate Sonos introduced the option of playing music directly from "this mobile device", but please fix bugs like this a bit faster. They are really annoying.

It seems the biggest issue here is that Sonos don't support subfolders. If they made changes to support subfolders then it looks like a number of podcast app on Android will be supported including Podcast Addict which I am using. Any chance of this change Sonos?

I agree with Martin. Until Sonos adds folder selection for android devices, they are not compatable. They make a great product, but not compatable with Android devices

hello,

I just bought a Sonos, and I have the same problem.

I change the settings of Podcastaddict to store the podcasts in /Podcats (/storage/emulated/O/Podcasts). but, it created subfolders.

if I copy a mp3 file in Podcasts, it appears in "my device", but never if deep in the subfolders.

any idea if Sonos is working on this issue ? or any idea to solve this ?

thanks

Same problem here. SONOS with Android is really unusable. The staff should do some more work to make the Android version the same as the iOS one. With Android you can't play podcasts on the device. With iOS you can't use locksceen control. With both the search engine doesn't work very well, especially for podcasts.
Where is the "podcast" folder. There are a lot of "podcast" folders in Android. What is the exact full path?

I am using Pocketcast on an LG G4 phone and a Google Nexus 10 tablet and both are running versions of Android Lollipop, and work fine with my Sonos system.

In the Pocketcasts app goto Settings, Select Custom Folder, and then the following path: /storage/emulated/0/Podcasts.
You will then be prompted if you want to move existing downloaded podcasts. If you say yes, it will take a few minutes, and then you might need to reboot your phone/tablet to force the indexing of the audio files, so that the Sonos app can then find them.

Good luck

hello,

do you know if Pocketcasts is working with subfolders ?

I use Podcastaddict, and there it's also possible to move all the podcats under /storage/emulated/0/Podcasts, but there, it creates sub-folders to manage the podcasts.

and the Sonos Android program doesnt search under the sub-folders.
