[Desktop][Podcasts] Make offline listening of podcasts run smoother

[NotHonestAbe]

Sometimes I will save podcasts onto my laptop so I can listen to them while not being connected to WiFi, but I have not been able to start any podcast while in offline mode. I can start listening to my podcasts in online mode then switch to offline and be able to finish the entire podcast. Listening to a podcast while completely offline works on Android but not on the PC app.

Hi there @NotHonestAbe,

Thanks for reaching out to the Community and sorry for the delayed reply, we've just come across this thread.

You should be able to start playing a podcast episode that you have downloaded while in Offline mode without trouble. If this isn't the case, try logging out, restarting your device, and logging back in.

In case the issue persists, it's worth running a clean reinstall of the app by following these steps. This can be helpful to get rid of any cached files that might be causing trouble. If you're using Windows, we also suggest downloading the app again from the Microsoft Store.

Keep us posted on how it goes.
