Originally created by @tonyedwardspz on GitHub (Nov 23, 2023).

When connected to the server, clickling one of the local podcasts from a podcast library's home page takes me to the full list of podcasts episodes . . instead of limited to just the local ones. Disconnected works as expected.

Steps to reproduce

Download podcasts to the Android app
Stay connected to the server
Open a local podcast series from from a podcasts library home page

Expected behaviour

Podcast series page opens with only downloaded episodes shown

Actual behaviour

Podcast series page opens with all episodes shown

Environment data

Audiobookshelf Version:

Android App - v0.9.67-beta
iOS App?

Android Issue

Android version: 14 (5th Nov Release)

This is intentional since there has been a lot of confusion over there being 2 different pages for the same media item. As long as you are connected to the same server that the item was downloaded from then that should show all episodes.
One possible solution is we could add a filter on that page to show only downloaded episodes.

I can understand that.

A filter would be really useful 🙏, with being auto filtered from the local podcasts section ideal.

I've been using the app to support an offline first consumption pattern with the server only availible on my home network. The local podcasts / books sections are where I listen to content from on mobile after downloading a few episode ahead of time wether connected or not.

I'm away from a connection to the server enough to warrent listening to local podcasts / books on mobile. But connected enough and listening directly to make toggling between the two connectivity states a hassle. 3-4 times an hour is not unusual, with occasional switches between the web app on desktop and mobile.

With the local podcasts section, this consumption pattern was super convienient and required zero extra effort or thought beyond downloading a few episodes (I have to do this anyway for communig). It also sidesteps the slow loading of series withn a large numbers of episodes (I've seen the discussion around this 👍), which there are a few I listen to daily.

I appreciate this is a slightly odd usecase, whilst suspecting the ability to filter easily would be useful to others also.
