Podcasts - Mark As Listened

Hi, this is my first post, and I realise this isn't topping the list of 'pressing issues in BB6/7', but still, it'll be a useful feature. Could we get a 'Mark As Listened' in the podcasts submenu, all my podcasts have a half circle next to them becuse I never listen to the whole thing, ie, I switch off and miss all the ad's and rubbish at the end.
If this is already in there somewhere then I'm damned if I can find it, it'd definately be worth having.

It doesn't work as I expected. This is what I tested:
Find song that is on both Mac & Win7 machines. Take note of each playcount.
Mac playcount     Win7 playcount
2                         7
Play song on Mac.
Mac playcount     Win7 playcount
3                         7
I expected the Win7 playcount to increase to 8, as well, but it didn't.
Play song on Win7.
Mac playcount     Win7 playcount
3                         8
I expected the Mac playcount to increase to 4, but it didn't.
Play song on Mac through homesharing (the Win7 song actually gets played)
Mac playcount     Win7 playcount
3                         9
OK, I guess this is all this homesharing feature does. The Win7 song actually got played so its playcount got updated from the Mac.

  • Podcasts I've listened to are staying on iPod - what's up?

    I am trying to get my iPod to remove any / all podcasts I've listened to removed when I sync it with iTunes.
    I thought I had this working once, but now it just keeps all the Podcasts even though it shows on both iTunes and the iPod that I've listened to them.
    Any suggestions?
    thanks,
    Chris

    Ack. The same thing just happened to another Podcast. It got reset all the way back to the beginning, so every single episode was downloaded and set as if I had never listened to any of them!

  • Getting rid of podcasts I have listened to

    Hi
    I have set up my iPod to automatically download certain podcasts. They seem to sync fine from my computer to my iPod, only keeping the ones I have NOT listened to yet on the iPod.
    My question is, How do I get rid of the podcasts I have already listened to ON MY COMPUTER? They don't seem to go away.... Do I have to manually select each one and delete it? That would be quite a number to have to see to. Is there no easier way. I have an old iPod and I am still using 10.3. Maybe that is my problem

    I have to manually delete the podcasts I have already listened to from iTunes in order to get rid of them. Using SETTINGS, the podcasts I have listened to on the iPod ARE deleted, but they are not deleted from iTunes.
    Actually, I think this is a safety measure. Some people purchase their podcasts (eg: language learning, for example) and they DO NOT want to "automatically" delete them from iTunes.... so I am okay with this.... if anyone has a better idea, let me know.

  • Mark a podcast as watched/listened

    Is this possible in the Nano?
    Usually there is exit music or blabs that they go on about and if I don't listen all the way to the end, it won't auto-delete when I sync.

    I don't listen to podcast. Read the iPod Nano 5th Gen. User Manual (direct PDF download) to see if there are any instructions.

  • IPad won't sync podcasts marked 'explicit'

    I've had tons of trouble syncing podcasts to my iPad2. I thnave 21 appearing in iTunes, and on the iPad as it's listed in iTunes. But on the actual iPad there are only 5 showing. Is it a coincidence that these are the only 5 that are not marked 'explicit?' Is there a setting I can change that will allow the podcasts to sync to my iPad?
    I've created both a regular and a smart playlist, plus just allowed the podcasts to sync as normal. It's always seemed pretty random which ones actually show up on the iPad or not. But today I noticed the 'explicit' thing.
    Please help! This is driving me crazy not being able to listen to all my podcasts.

    in iTunes or on the iPad? (will be doing both, as I'm sitting here but thought I'd check...)
    YOU FIXED IT! Thank you...I didn't realize I had a restriction set on the iPad. All podcasts are showing now.

  • Undownloaded podcasts marked as unplayed

    I'm on Windows 7.
    After installing iTunes 11.2, a heap of old podcasts from my subscribed podcats have been marked as unplayed - 1,500 so far. These are podacsts that I have not downloaded and I don't want to listen to (about 500 are old 'Stuff you should know' podcasts).
    I've tried to mark them as played, but this causes iTunes to crash.
    Any help?

    I don´t know why but the problem was solved two days ago. Now, the format of the date in the app is exactly the same for all the podcasts, the "correct" one.
    I guess that apple has modified something in the database to use the same format that it was using the iTunes app of OSX.

  • 9.1.0.79 - Podcast - Mark as watched gone

    What happened to "select all" -> right click -> "mark as watched". I predominately use iTunes to download Podcasts. I have about 80 subscriptions or so. I transfer them to my iPhone, and now iPad, manually. They do not get recognized as "played" in iTunes once transfered, and I rarely listen to all of them from one day to the next but need to know what the new ones are. Without the select all "mark as played" feature I have to manually select each fricken podcast and say "mark as played". What a waste of time!!
    Hopefully this is just an oversight. Please fix this ASAP

    Good to hear its not just me. I think I found a work around. Open the top podcast so you can see the individual podcasts - do a "select all" (all podcast not the just the top one). Now deselect the top podcast title but make sure all the others are still selected. Right click on the top actual podcast (not the subscription title). You should now see the "mark as (un)watched" or "mark as (un)played" depending on if you have a video or audio podcast on the top of the list.
    Yeah...now they just need to make the rest of iTunes now suck so much.

  • Podcasts marked as played keep being downloaded again and again

    On iphone 5, since ios8 there are a number of podcast episodes which, no matter how many times I mark them as played (and they subsequently get deleted) the next day they appear again in my feed, and are automatically downloaded.  very frustrating.

    Unfortunately, I have not found syncing to help at all. 
    I listen to iTunes while running, and if I sync all Podcasts without a playlist, I have to stop, press the button, hear the voice go through x many podcasts, and click on the next one.  If I sync to a certain playlist, I am able to play all of them in a row, but they will not be marked as played, last played, skipped, or last skipped.  Why are these choices there if we cannot use them? 
    If I do not sync, they will occasionally randomly mark some played, even if unplayed, but then leave all of my played marked as unplayed.  Most of the time all are marked as unplayed even when played all the way through.  Since the "last played" and "last skipped" options are chosen for my list, one shouldn't have to play all the way through in order to see the dates of when they were last played or last skipped.
    I have searched all over the net for a solution, but can find none.  The best solution I had was to get rid of this iTunes version and go back to an earlier one, but unfortunately, the new one was replaced as a package with other software installs, without my choosing to install it.  Can Apple please help?

  • How do I delete podcasts I have listened to from latest version of iTunes?

    I am not able to keep up with the new versions of iTunes and IPod (now on iOS 6.0.1). It seems you have to completely re-learn things almost every month!
    I download podcasts from a lot of sources, but virually never direct from iTunes (I find the search bar in iTunes almost useless and can rarely find what I want, whereas I know the home sites of the podcasts I do want, and want to manage all the downloads manually).
    I listen to them and afterwards manually delete them directly on my iPod.
    Before the latest version, I never used to sync my iPod and so it didn;t really matter to me what was in my iTunes library.
    I now find it very difficult to manage the iPod manually (transferring things individually into iTunes and then to iPod, so yesterday I (accidentally) deleted everything in iTunes and iPod and started again. I now find that I cannot delete things from iTines and am scared that when I next sync my iPod, all the podcasts I have already listened to and deleted directly on the iPod will be re-loaded into the iPod.
    Please could someone help me?
    In an ideal world, without losing what I have re-loaded into the iPod I would go back to the previous version of ITunes and to the pre- latest update version of software I had on my iPod as I learnt how to do things undr those conditions!
    Many thanks, and with apologies for being too old and tech illiterate to keep up with these constant changes.........
    tks,
    Nick

  • Incomplete downloaded podcast marked as complete

    iTunes is downloading podcasts but not moving them from the Download folder to the Podcast folder. Yet, it is marking the podcasts as complete. I have gone thru the process of deleting the podcast, and re-downloading, but they fail at the same point. This happens on everyone of 12 different podcasts. I have even completely Unsubscribed and re-subscribed all of the podcasts. I have even de-installed and reinstalled iTunes. It then worked for 2 days, but now the same thing happens.
    TIA,
    Curtis

    This is happening to me too... very very annoying.

  • How do I get iTunes to totally delete Podcasts I've listened to?

    I listen to quite a few Podcasts on my iPod; I have them synced with iTunes so that once they have been listened to, they are deleted.
    But this only deletes them from the library; it doesn't delete the files completely - this is actually more annoying than if they weren't auto-deleted at all, because now I have to go into the music folder and try to remember which ones I've listened to and delete them manually.
    Is there any way of getting iTunes to delete the file completely?
    Thanks!

    Mine get deleted all the way, on the ones where I want that.
    On my podcast page in iTunes, I click on the Settings button down at the bottom. There is a default for all podcasts, but I change specific podcasts to "Episodes to Keep: All unplayed episodes". Then I right-click ont he main podcast and make sure it is set for "Allow Auto Delete".
    After it has been listened to, the blue dot to the left goes away. Then the next time the podcast is updated, the files get deleted. They are not even in the recycle bin.

  • Can I change the default for podcast deletion after listening?

    I have only just discovered that many of my cherished podcasts have been getting deleted after I listen to them. I originally set the option to NEVER delete after listening when I first installed iTunes years ago and I haven't change it since. However, I can only assume that it was changed by Apple during an upgrade at some point and I never noticed. The delete after listening option has been set to On for podcasts going back many years (2008 at least).
    Two questions:
    1. Is there some way to change the default setting to Off?
    2. Is there a way to bulk change the setting for multiple existing podcasts?
    Thanks.
    For what it;'s worth; I'm running iTunes 12.1.2.27 on Windows 7 64-bit on a Dell Latitude laptop.

    Choose the Podcast view you are using (either Podcasts/Podcasts or Podcasts/Episode List) from below:

  • HELP! Audio Podcast Marker Image Being Compressed to Mangled Blob

    I am trying to create an audio podcast in STP2.
    I add an image for the Marker by selecting "Image Source Other" and select a 2444x1583 jpeg image. The image shows up in the preview box and it looks good. I activate Show External Video (^V) and the image looks perfect.
    However as soon as I select any tab, track, whatever... and the image preview box disappears, and I then come back to the marker image preview, the image has now been processed and compressed to a completely unrecognizable blob! If I go ahead and export the podcast, the marker image is displayed in iTunes looking exactly like the mangled image in STP and has been reduce to 53Wx35H pixels!!!
    This mangling also occurs with the Episode image, although it actually does not even get exported to the final podcast.
    To create the podcast I make sure the file type is AAC/Podcast File > Podcast > Enhanced (Images).
    Can someone PLEASE help me figure why the images are being mangled and how I can get a full quality marker image displayed?
    BTW - I have tried various file formats including PDF and PNG and the results are the same - ALWAYS a 53Wx35H pixel image.
    Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!
    ASIDE - I created the same podcast in Garageband 09 and the images are Crystal clear. However, the marker image ALWAYS gets distorted form wide screen format to square, so that it become useless for distribution.
    TIA for anyone that reads this and responds.

    OK - Got It Figured Out!!! Woo Hoo!!
    I am able to do exactly what I want in Compressor... go figure!!
    1. Select "AAC for Audio Podcast" preset.
    2. In the Encoder Audio tab, select "Enhanced Padcast (m4a file)"
    3. Change "Fit marker images within" to "1280" by "1024"
    4. Add Chapter marker and edit
    5. Change Type to "Podcast"
    6. Select Image "From file" and select the HR file - could drag from Finder as well.
    7. Save
    8. Submit (took about 30 seconds to run)
    Viola!! A nice, tight, small, HR slide show; 5 minutes long and ONLY 4.5 MB - about .1 MB larger than the audio alone! The entire process (once the new preset is saved) takes less than a minute - as long as you know the time code for the marker image placement.
    Took a weekend to figure out, but well worth it!
    Off to make the Client VERY happy!!

  • Stopped downloading Podcasts 'cos not listened for few days

    Why does I-Tunes stop downloading my Podcasts when I've not listened to them for a few days? How do I turn this annoying function OFF?

    It's an option the Podcast producer has chosen to help save them money on downloads that are not listened to. Although Apple provide the function, the choice to set it is down to the Podcaster, not Apple.
    This is not correct: it's inherent in iTunes, see this page:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA23353
    which states:
    You've subscribed to a podcast but have more than five unplayed episodes. iTunes will stop automatically downloading newer episodes. You may get the following message:
    iTunes has stopped updating this podcast because you have not listened to any episodes recently. Would you like to resume updating this podcast?
    You can click Yes to continue downloading additional episodes. Or you can just listen to any part of any episode and a new episode will download at the next update.
    There is an AppleScript available which will apparently deal with this (I've not tried it):
