Podcasts app stops playing randomly

Everyone knows the problem of the iSO native Podcast app stopping randomly during playback?

I have an iPhone with iOS 9.2.1 6. I listen to podcasts downloaded through the Apple iTunes Podcast store, using own Apple earbuds.

About 50% of the podcasts listened stops unexpectedly. They are not only suspended. I tried to see if it related to a specific action receiving a text or e-mail, but there is no model. I saw advice here to try to restart the phone. What I did, but it did not fix the problem.

Any help would be appreciated.

HI Adam, there.

If I understand your app Podcasts will stop just to randomly play your podcasts without reason. I would start by stop smoking Podcasts and applications settings:

Force an app to close the iOS

1. press the Home button twice quickly. You will see small glimpses of your applications recently used.
2. slide to the left to find the application you want to close.
3. push upward on the overview of the application to close.

When you have done that reboot the device and test again the question:

iOS: switch off and on (restart) and reset
 
If the problem persists, save your device in iTunes, then restore it like new and verify that it works.
 
How to clear your iOS device and then set up as a new device or restore from backups

If this is the case, restore your backup either check it still works and just reinstalled software or circumvent the problem in the backup file itself.

Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

  • Podcasts App suddenly stops playing

    Since the last major release of Podcsasts I was struggeling with her. Fortunetely some of its bugs have been fixed. Unfortunately for the most annoying bugs have not. Maybe I'm wrong with my opinion, but I really think that the main purpose of the application of Podcasts is to read podcasts, right? So why does he completely suddenly stop playing podcasts? the only thing that can be done is then open the app manually and click the comparable play hidden button and continue playing. The whole OS would not react on something else if you do not do this. It makes no sense to me and as I got this question all the time. My 4S on children 5 years to my at the 6ers, I'm not very confident to get afix it all soon.

    Another thing that probably his thad SDO is the sort that just make no sense for me. Most of the podacsts I listen to are programs that don't have not not be relistened to. I don't listen to anyone that I have when I have the time. However, the sort makes me always listen first to the most recent and not to the groin. I could easily live with this design error that I'm the only one in the world who uses Podcasts in this way (but I doubt at the same time). What makes me mad at her, is that playing the last podcast of this list, which is from my point of view on the other I need to listen to, will not jump to the next podcast when that is finished but just stops playing the list as if there where no more podcasts. But it is a. lot.

    Especially the two named bugs make a pain using podcasts. To be honest, it feels like not on the app developers use the application for more than to play half of the first test podcast they use. In addition, this behavior was intrduced with the new Podcasts app. The old version which has been replaced by a new version of IOS have the means to play the oldest to newest. and he was reliable playing. Compered to the old, the new version will be as of the first prototypes. It would have been okay, if the application would have improved over time. Maybe he has. I can only see it. I consider bugs because these great so they need to be fixed first to improve acceptance and satisfaction.

    Are there plans to fix these bugs or any tips that would help me to bypass?

    @mgollmick, I have no solutions to your questions but I wanted to add on your frustration about the application of Podcasts.  I started regularly using the Podcast app 6 months ago, and it has always been glitch in a multitude of ways:

    1. when I select a podcast, it won't often begin play immediately, regardless of whether I'm listening to a podcast already downloaded or via wifi.  Sometimes it will take 30 seconds to 1 minute before the podcast begins to play.  At other times, he won't play at all, and I have to close the app and re - manually open it (sometimes several times) until I can play a podcast.  I noticed that I do not suffer the same problem during access to downloaded podcasts offline (for example, during a hike).  This leads to believe that it is a problem of wifi, but I never experience lag issues when you access a music video Youtube or iCloud on my iPhone.

    2. when the list of "Unplayed Épisodes", I'm often impossible to remove (or there is a significant shift to delete) of podcast episodes in which I'm not interested.  I drag an individual podcast episode or click the 'Edit' button to remove podcast episodes, but more often that otherwise, I am unable to do.  Once again, I have to close the application and reopen it manually a couple of times before that I can delete episodes.

    3. the application of Podcast will often suddenly crash within 30 seconds of play an episode.   Sometimes it will crash after playing for an hour, even if I do not have set the sleep timer.   I have to open the app manually and click the 'Play '.

    4. There is often a long latency when trying manually updated list of "Unplayed Episodes.  Why I immediately see new videos for subscribed Youtube channels so I manually update the Youtube app, but it takes a minute or more to see a current list of new episodes of the podcast through Apple app?

    5. the iOS app also does not sync with iTunes on my Macbook or iMac:

    (a) iTunes does not reflect my order of podcasts that appear in "My Podcasts" on iOS.  I have manually re-ordered podcasts on iOS so that I can quickly access my favorite podcasts, but this reorganization does not appear in iTunes even after that I have to sync my phone with my iMac.  In addition, the left column of iTunes (with photos of each subscribed podcast nail) does not list podcast subscriptions in order alphabetical or any other rational means of organization.  It takes time to find a specific podcast under "My Podcasts) to access the episodes.  Why no iCloud synchronize?

    (b) "Unplayed Épisodes" iTunes version does not reflect the most recent episodes that appear on the Podcast app on my phone.   iTunes is about 24 hours of delay in the updates, and when I try to update iTunes manually, it does not work.  Also, I get a message that iTunes stopped updating a podcast special because I have not listened episodes recently.  Why iTunes does not recognize that I regularly listen to this podcast especially through the iOS app? Why this information is not automatically synchronize iTunes via iCloud?

    I've always been a fan of Apple products, and I understand when there are software problems from time to time, but to have so many important issues that impact, use of an application is beyond frustrating.   I understand now better Walt Mossberg recent Re / Code article criticizing Apple for not fixing not important issues with their own applications.  Although his article does not mention issues with Podcasts app, its purpose is also applicable.

  • the apple podcast app keeps a story?

    I use the app to apple podcast and listen to several types of podcasts.  I'll put up a podcast before going to bed and put my iPhone stop in half an hour, before his term.  In the morning, I'll listen to a different podcast on my way to work.  Tonight I might want to finish listening to one of the previous night.  But if I have listed several different on a long drive during the day, I don't always know that I listened to the day before.  I hope that there is some history listen in the podcast app that I'm missing.  Can someone help me?

    If this isn't an option for the apple podcast, are there any recommendations podcast reader applications for iphones/iPads that have a history of listening?

    Thank you

    Michelle

    Select the option "Unplayed" in the background toolbar in Podcasts about episodes that have not at all been played are indicated by an icon of point blue (circle). The ones you started listening to, but has not finished playing, are marked with a blue dot half full. Which makes them very easy to spot.

    Otherwise, if you synchronize your podcasts with iTunes on your computer, select the last column has played. You will see the dates, the episodes were played on it and can sort before that date.

  • Podcast app crashing, madness download

    Today, April 20, 2016, my podcast app in my iphone 6 more is crazy, almost all my podcast comes from AfterbuzzTV, and all keep download and even older month I already listen to (I activated the "delete played episodes"). I used to have "only download new" but hundreds of podcasts keep you download. I don't know what to do.

    Just now, after more than an hour deleting every episode, I managed to make their stop, do not know exactly how. Everything is off, I'm afraid that if I activate "Download new episodes" and "remove played episodes", what download madness again.

    What happned?

    What can I do?

    Thank you!!!

    It's something wrong with the power of Afterbuzz - I've had a bunch of Afterbuzz played episodes download twice now in the last 12 hours about, and I have deleted both times. But in my case, it's just a show, so it's not a huge deal.

    These food kind of hiccups occur from time to time and I don't know why. If he continues to be a problem unsubscribe me, and if I remember, I renew a few days later, when things are if all goes well installed.

    Oh and if you are on a bandwidth cap, make sure that you are ready to download on wifi only.

  • Walkman could stop playing at SMS report? Option desired audio book.

    Hello. I chose active Walkman phone (my E1 a physical button to Walkman!) because I like listening to podcasts/audio books. In general I listen to them during my bike rides. Unfortunately, unlike my previous phone (Sony Ericcson), Walkman app does not stop playing when SMS is received and reported. Played stuff is quiet but going on when I hear would roll sound SMS (about 1.5 sec) and because of this I lose a few words, what I don't like. Phones Sony Ericcson, when an SMS coming in the opposite direction, or because of the phone call, overturned a few words (about a second?) book audio/podcast is playing. I would like to have such an option "audiobook" regarding some of the Walkman.

  • I can't download the podcast app on my iphone

    When I go to the app store to download the podcast on my iPhone apple app it says I already downloaded it, but when I press open it wont let me open it. How can I get this app on my phone?

    Podcasts app is installed as part of the iOS. It cannot be downloaded separately in iOS 9.

    If you do not see on your screens home or inside files, check the settings > general > restrictions.

    If you try to update based on a command prompt in iTunes, it is a mistake. Ignore the message or delete Podcasts to iTunes app to stop messages.

  • The music stops playing the explicit elements?

    While listening to an audio book, music app stop to play it says is explicit. I chose 'Allow' and it does not start play again, it just temporarily let me replay the book before she stops some time later. I checked my limitations, and they aren't yet on.

    How can I make the book not explicit or prevent Apple from Babysitting me?

    Hi CurveTheRain,

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple!

    I understand that an audiobook stops during playback, due to some explicit content, but your iPhone has no restriction enabled. This sounds like a frustrating situation, but we are here to help. This audio book bought from iTunes or anywhere else?

    To begin troubleshooting, I suggest to stop the application you are using (typically iBooks, but could be music too if you have imported a file of music from a different source). The following article describes how to quit an iOS app.

    Force an app to close iOS - Apple Support

    After the app has been stopped, restart your iPhone.

    Restart your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch - Apple Support

    After the reboot of your iPhone, check restrictions to check that no explicit content is reserved, and then test the audio book once more.

    Best!

  • Podcast app not explicit audio and video podcasts on Appletv 4 (gen)

    IS their a fix for this problem.  Podcasts audio and video podcasts play fine. When I try to play or to subscribe to a podcast with content explicitly. A warning, it does not support explicit content.

    Podcast app won't play all content explicitly. And you can't subscribe to a podcast with explicit content.

  • Podcast (app Sony music or video)

    I used the app from Sony to listen and subscribe to Podcasts.

    Everything worked fine until a few days ago, when I get a message saying "Podcast have stopped" suddenly (Podcast har tyvarr stoppats) whenever I select the alternative of the Podcast in the menu dropdown.

    I tried clearing on podcasts, empty underlying records, restored updates updated, deleted cached memory app but the problem is there.

    Any ideas how this can be corrected?

    I'm sorry to hear that

    Try to clear the cached data for the video and podcast app under settings--> Apps--> all and restart the phone and see if that helps.

    Edit: To find the Podcast app in Android 6.0, go to settings--> Apps--> [menu]-> system to see the--> Podcast-> Storage-> clear data/cache.

  • ITunes does not sync Apple podcast app with my Nano

    iTunes does not synchronize my Apple podcast app, with my ipod nanos podcasts.

    The result is that if I'm half listening to a podcast on my ipod nano, and then use the usb cable for syncing with itunes, then connect my iphone 5 via the usb cable and synchronize with itunes podcast Apple app reflects not the amendment, despite the fact that initially the app podcast Apple pulled all the podcasts to itunes.

    That is to say itunes is not cross sync from my ipod nano at Apple podcast app.

    That's what itunes is done.

    Simple synchronization works very well and if I was not an iphone owner then everything would be as expected it is say podcasts of nano sync properly, or what if all I had was the application of podcast Apple iphone would be nice synchronize. But sometimes I want to listen to on my Nano, and sometimes on my phone and continue on from where I left on my Nano, I thought that was the point of the Apple ecosystem?

    Use iTunes Feedback or Apple Bug Reporter to report the problem and make the Apple to know how you want it to work as before.

  • Is it possible to load podcasts (using podcasts app) on the iPhone without the need to have these load on iTunes on Mac at the same time?

    I agree, download and listen to podcasts on my iPhone (6 s 9.3.4).) When I sync with my Mac (2008 Macbook OS Lion) it also syncs podcasts (obviously) but it takes too much space on my Mac, and I never listen to the podcasts on the Mac. When I uncheck the sync option of podcasts in iTunes (12.2.2.25), he said that it will remove all the podcasts on the iPhone too, that I don't want. Is it possible to download podcasts over the phone without also their sync iTunes as well?

    Thank you

    The Podcast app works using the connection of the iPhone and can sync no read using iCloud. Can simply browse podcasts and download them directly from the phone.

  • Videos YouTube has stopped playing on V 37.0

    Running Firefox on Windows 7-64 bit 37.0. All the updates update. Flash is 17,0,0,134 and removes from the Adobe site.

    This afternoon of YouTube videos stopped playing. In the center of the image are circling points. The video seems to have loaded, as I can move the time slider and see images at different times, I'm not, just gives the circling 'loading' points. YouTube works fine in IE. Foxfire, if I go to other sites, such as news and videos/commercials play very well.

    I have disabled all add-ons, game Shockwave & Flash "always enable" and always YouTube videos will not play. Seem to download, simply cannot play.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Please also consider an add on for a work around to change HTML5 by default, however this should be fixed in the version of 37.0.1 are you still see this issue?
