Bug: Queue cleared when playing episode not in queue (only one queued episode)

  When the play queue contains exactly one episode and the user plays a different episode without adding it to the queue first, the queue is emptied entirely instead of being preserved.

  
  Steps to reproduce

  • Add exactly one episode to the play queue.
  • Navigate to any podcast and tap Play on an episode that is not in the queue.
  • Open the queue after playback starts.

  Expected behavior: The queue still contains the one episode. Playing an unrelated episode should not modify the queue.

  Actual behavior: The queue is completely empty afterwards.
  
  Note: The bug does not reproduce when two or more episodes are in the queue, which suggests a boundary condition in the queue logic.

  Hi there!
  
  Thanks for providing this well formatted report. Having a single episode in the queue and then playing another one will replace the current episode. This is intended to support the Auto Play feature, and does not happen when two or more episodes are in the queue.

  To restore your queue after it’s been cleared use the Up Next History:

  • Android: Profile > Settings > Restore from local history > Up Next History
  • iOS: Profile > Settings > Up Next History

  Tap an entry to preview it, then tap Restore to bring your queue back.
