Podcast randomly rewinds unprompted
-
When listening to any podcast, it doesn’t matter which one. podcast rewinds.

Hi, @massivejackalope! Does the episode only rewind after resuming playback? That is, do you only experience the issue after pausing an episode and playing it again?
The reason I ask is that, if the rewind is only happening after you have paused an episode, it may be that you have Intelligent Playback Resumption enabled under Profile > Settings (gear icon) > General.
With that enabled, our app currently does the following:
- More than 5 minutes since an episode was paused > skips back 10 seconds
- More than 1 hour since an episode was paused > skips back 15 seconds
- More than 24 hours since an episode was paused > skips back 30 seconds
Does that sound like what you’ve been experiencing?

This actually happens to me if it’s what I’m thinking of and it’s not a user error (I hope). A podcast will randomly repeat the last 30-60 seconds (or “rewind”). The inconvenient part is that it will cut off the last 30-60 seconds of the podcast, too.
It does the same thing if you manually skip back to where it happened – the time-jump remains. I originally thought it was a podcast glitch in the editing, but this seems to happen at random on any podcast, whether it’s downloaded or streaming. I’ve done an uninstall, too. iOS.
Does this sound like anything anyone has experience with?
¯_(ツ)_/¯
