What I am missing is something where I can sync what podcast I am playing and the minute and second where in the podcast I am.
This way I could switch seamlessly between devices.
Does it have functionality like that?
Yes absolutely. If you're using Pinepods between the two devices your listen time is synced to the server. Meaning swapping between devices syncs your exact listen time. In addition to that I almost have time sync implemented for nextcloud sync as well. Meaning swapping between antennapod and pinepods your listen time will sync also.
That makes it very interesting, hm I just don't have Nextcloud.
You can use it without nextcloud. That's entirely optional and exists only if you want to sync between antennapod and pinepods. If you're only using Pinepods you don't need that at all and syncing time between devices works totally fine.
Yeah I get it, thanks. I just already use Antennapod and like it a lot. I will check Pinepods out, perhaps it's already good enough that I would be OK giving up Antennapod, if not then installing Nextcloud to get this sync functionality between devices.
Kasts on desktop and Antennapod on Android, each using Gpoddersync to Nextcloud gives me this functionality.
Does gpodder sync playtime too? I never could figure out how and then their webside was broken for so long so I gave up on it.
It depends in the app. Gpodder has the capability to sync playtime but some apps don't sync that part. And gpodder itself is a dead project. But a nextcloud gpodder is a nextcloud app that replicates the same functionality to your local nextcloud server since gpodder is in maintenance mode.
I've been using the PocketCasts app for android which has this feature. It's not self-hosted, though.
Yeah relying on someone else's computer is not optimal. And also when it's a proprietary protocol you can only use one client on all devices.
