My Question or Issue

I listen to an incredible amount of podcasts on a regular basis & have been having this issue for months.  "Sleep timer - End of episode" will just make same podcast episode repeat, again & again (seemingly endlessly).  This is obviously very annoying & needs to be addressed.  Thanks in advance!  -Tim
P.S. This happens roughly 75%? of the time

Hey @I_eat_podcasts,

Welcome to the forum and thanks for posting this thread!

Since you mentioned that this is happening about 75% of the time, could you think of anything that may be causing it/what started the behavior for the first time? Is it specific podcasts this is happening with or it doesn't matter?

Here are some troubleshooting steps that you can try with, if you've not done them already:

• Clean reinstall with the steps here (more detailed than a regular one and includes clearing the cache).
• In Settings > Playback, make sure Autoplay similar content is disabled.
• Let us know if the same behavior persists in Offline Mode.

Lastly, let us know if you're streaming to an external device when this happens (for example headphones).

We'll be on the lookout for your response.
