Hi all,

I'm trying to automatically play the newest episodes of a podcast after I connect to a certain BT device.

But I can't get tasker to start playing a podcast.

This thread shows how this works for playlists, but none of these options work for podcasts.

Opening a podcast is possible via the Action:android.intent.action.VIEW intent (as explained in the above thread). A last resort could be to use AutoInput to automatically click the play button, but this would also mess with locked screens.

Even AutoSpotify is unable to find or play podcasts, because it only searches for tracks and not podcast episodes.

This can be seen by comparing the URIs for a track and a podcast episode:

Podcast: spotify:show:1ug9njZpEHg6aOyzUHPkFE

Podcast episode: spotify:episode:7xtfYUAU9XcUrINeujauM0

Track: spotify:track:4u7EnebtmKWzUH433cf5Qv

If anyone has an idea, I'd be very grateful.
