Android app can’t play/download episodes from one podcast
-
Hi, I can’t download / play any episodes from https://pca.st/podcast/7adc23b0-3908-013b-efbb-0acc26574db2.
Checking the log, I see a cert failure. If copying the link from the log to the Chrome browser, I can download the audio file and playback works fine. So this sounds like a problem on the Android app side, or the phone’s problem. Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this?

Hi @imlycmail,
I understand that you’re running into issues with downloading the episode on your Pocket Casts app. Would you try checking the following:
- Internet connection – ensure that your device is connected to a stable internet connection; you can test switching to a different internet connection, and switching from WiFi to mobile data (or vice versa)
- Connection blockers – if you have a firewall, VPN, filter, ad-blocker, or similar active on your device or primary network connection (like Pi-hole), test disabling it temporarily
- Storage space – verify that you have enough storage space on your device for storing downloads
- Battery optimization – remove any battery use restrictions set for Pocket Casts; you can refer to How to give Pocket Casts unrestricted battery access?
- Retry the download – you can remove an episode from the download queue or clear the entire download queue, then re-add the episode(s) you wish to download
I recommend going through troubleshooting steps on this documentation as well:
Download & playback errors
Let us know how it goes,
