I use the Apple Podcast app & for the most part like it. While Im sure there are better ones out there, this is the one that works for me, syncing through all my devices (usually).
With the snow rolling in, I'm back to workout out indoors when the roads are too snowy to run safely on. I fired up the Podcast app on my Apple TV yesterday & it looks like it's out of sync with my other devices. I have 41 unplayed podcasts, but this device shows 411 unplayed.
After reading a bit about this, it seems like Apple switched podcast storage format/database a little while ago & this isn't an uncommon occurrence for a not-recently used device.
So I opened the podcast app on all my devices (Macs, TVs, phones, iPads, etc), which then added a bunch of unplayed podcasts to my main devices (phone & computer). I started culling the ones that had been listened to, and most of my devices have resented & I'm back down to 41 episodes. Aside from an iPad, the only ones that aren't syncing are the TVs. I have an Apple TV 2, 3 and two HD's. With the 2/3, I was able to mark entire shows as played & then just unmark the few that I hadn't listened to. I can't find a way to do this on the HD's. When I hold down the clicker on a show or an individual episode, the option to mark all episodes as played is no longer there.
Has anyone found how to do this, or am I missing something simple?
Thanks in advance,
