Known Issues / Notes

  • The search results may contain video podcasts due to the inability to filter them out
  • If a podcast is desired to be part of the MA library, you have to add it, or mark it as a favorite. The provider is search only
  • If a podcast does not appear in the search results, but is known to be freely available on Apple Podcast, this may be because content creators are permitted to hide the RSS feed within the Apple Podcast's source. Without the feed URL the provider is unable to access the media information (an INFO log message will appear in the MA log if this is the case). One solution is to try and search the web for an RSS feed URL for your specific podcast(s). If it exists, use the Podcast RSS Feed to add it to MA manually. The other option is to try and find it on one of the other podcast providers.
