Podcast "following" list view is not showing all followed podcasts

ametal — Fri, 08 Dec 2017 03:30:08 GMT

I can't see the full list of podcasts that I am following in the new version of Spotify Android (8.4.30.688 armV7) .

In the podcast page it knows I am following (has unfollow option)
Unfollow and re-follow does not fix it
Unplayed items shows an item from a podcast that is misssing from the list
ALL items show properly in the desktop version (just updated yesterday)

For reference, I have 4 followed, and the two podcasts that do not show are:

On the media
Radiolab

Some other notes:

#1) In the help, for podcasts/android, the screenshot is of an ARTIST page, not a podcast page! The app has almost no features to document, how could that be missed 😄

#2) This is not the first time that podcasts have been messed up for me, but the first in a while.

This is Spotify, so the answer is usually "no". In keeping with tradition,
this issue will not be fixed.

Maybe, if we are lucky and santa brings us a present, they will fix it
accidentally when they do something unrelated on the backend.

I have the exact same issue, and I am also following Radiolab. I also tested following On the Media and had the same problem.

I am using Spotify Android version 8.4.35.152 armV7.

This is terrible customer support. Look how old this thread is and still NO REPLY FROM SPOTIFY WHATSOEVER. You have a community of people corrobating a troublesome issue affecting their functional use of the application and there's no response whatsoever.

In my case radiolab and 99% invisible and the memory palace aren't showing up in my library even though I follow them. That means I don't get updates if there are new episodes and I constantly forget that it's not there.

FIX THIS ALREADY THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.

Same issue, same podcasts. As yet unresolved. Maybe we should contact WNYC and notify them that their media is not being fairly represented?

I think that's a great idea, maybe they have a way to actually reach someone at Spotify. There should be way more responses, views and likes to this thread, maybe then it would get some attention.

Some time in February this issue seemed to disappear from my phone. I'm not sure if it was an issue with Spotify or the specific podcasts, but I'm glad to see that it's working. Thanks technology gods!

I actually contacted customer support on Twitter and they resolved it in a
couple of days. Maybe they figured it out and applied the fix for everyone
who had it 🙂

They certainly did! Thank you!

Guess we are forced to resort to twitter for support. Embarassing. Not even a bug tracker... Thanks for reaching out to them that way, it certainly is fixed now (at least for my podcasts).

Hey @spotify... shut these forums down if you don't care to watch them or respond in them.

I agree that their responsiveneess, or lack thereof, was awful, however we
did get the result we wanted so at the end of the day I am very happy.
Spotify is such a robust and incredibly rewarding program. It is however
missing some podcasts that I have to go to Stitcher for unfortunately (WNYC
programs such as radiolab presents: more perfect and invisibilia)
