Thank you, hhbbap, that was really a good idea. I can confirm that my settings.json is, indeed, identical.

The mediaplayer starts where the indicator of how much is played ends. Do you see these purple lines in your gpodder?

However, just this morning velox released a new version with enqueing capabilities. I'll test it as soon as new podcast episodes arrive.
Now I check for new episodes, manually select and download episodes (at home). After I have listen to an episode I usually delete it manually unless I want to keep it for longer.

Just a very quick update. According to Thomas, who designed gPodder, the problem may lie with the underlying infrastructure (Qt MultimediaKit using GStreamer).
Is there a way we could upgrade the GStreamer components (gst-av etc.) to a newer version?
Also he suggested we should try the Android version. If the problem does not occur there, it must be the multimediakit. Unfortunately, I do not have an Android device.

The android version has the same problem on some files.
Overall comparing the android version to the sailfishos version the latter seems much more mature.
It saves the last state of the file playback even if oom killer kills it.
On Android if the app gets killed I need to start from the beginning.

@all, I was wondering whether any of the developers among you could maybe take a quick look at this file?
https://github.com/gpodder/gpodder-u...erPlayback.qml
It's where gPodder saves the positions within audio files.
In particular it might be interesting to see in what ways it differs from Talefish, where saving positions has been working flawlessly.
To build gPodder from source, you may want to follow these instructions detailed by Thomas.
https://github.com/gpodder/gpodder-sailfish/issues/46
According to Thomas the Sailfish and Android versions ought to be comparable (the same?). He suspects gstreamer to be at fault. Updating gst-av etc. might be an option (if I only knew how).

Talefish just sets it in a QML Object ("Appstate"), which is auto-saved to LocalStorage once in a while or on app exit.

(Please note I'm pulling all of this out of my… brain without checking and I have not even used gPodder in a while. So I could be utterly and completely wrong here!)

PS! I have made a softlink from /home/nemo/.local/share/harbour-org.gpodder.sailfish to a harbour-org.gpodder.sailfish folder on the SD card (/media/sdcard/....) so gpodder download files to the SD card (this folder use 17GB for me now).
