Podcini app

Podcini is an open source podcast manager/player project. This is based on a fork from the popular project AntennaPod.

Differing from the forked project, this project is purely Kotlin based, relies on the most recent dependencies, and most importantly has migrated the media player to androidx.media3, and added mechanism of AudioOffloadMode which is supposed to be kind to device battery. Efficiencies are also sought on running the app. App build is also upgraded to target Android 14.

Podcini is a robust and open-source podcast player for Android, offering a suite of features designed to enhance user experience and playback efficiency. The player now provides more convenient controls across all pages, a revamped player view that includes episode descriptions, and a consolidated external player class. Users can fine-tune playback speed settings with three distinct speeds: current audio, podcast, and global, alongside customizable fast-forward and fallback speeds. The app introduces a more intuitive "Skip to next episode" button and efficiency improvements such as reduced redundant media loadings and enhanced streamed media handling. The player now supports detailed episode views, intro/end skipping, marks episodes as played upon completion, and provides a new video episode view with easy audio-video switch options.

The podcast/episode list and interface have been significantly upgraded. The Subscriptions page now displays feeds with tag filters instead of folder structures, offering more efficient list interactions through clicks and long-clicks. The app includes options to manage lists with swipe actions, clearer markings for played episodes, and the TTS button for generating audio files from transcripts for episodes without media. The Subscription view now sorts by "Unread publication date," and the History view offers new filters and sorting. Additional features include a new share notes option, feed info views with direct search links, and the ability to subscribe to RSS feeds with no playable media using TTS. Online feeds have also been improved, allowing users to open and subscribe to podcasts from web addresses and play episodes without subscription. Podcini features an experimental instant or WiFi sync capability to sync play states between devices on the same network.
