**Q: In the settings menu the Flattr option is grayed-out, and I can’t sign in. What could possibly be the reason?**<br>
A: If you installed AntennaPod via F-Droid, Flattr unfortunately doesn't work. The API key that Flattr requires cannot be hard-coded into AntennaPod and thus can't be included in the version on F-Droid. Sorry!
**Q: When does an episode get marked 'played' or 'seen'?**<br>
A: Well, we've got a dedicated wiki-page for that: [The New, The Played and the Unplayed](The-New,-The-Played-and-the-Unplayed).
**Q: How do I keep my set up when changing to a new device?**<br>
A: 1) To transfer your subscriptions, you can make an OPML export. This won't save any additional information like settings or episode status. The file will be removed from its original location when uninstalling the app, so be sure to copy it to another folder (or to your computer).<br>
2) You can use gpodder.net to sync subscriptions and episode (marked as played, playback position etc.). This will neither save your settings, nor the queue, nor favourites. (While the later is "supported", there seem to be some issues with gPodder's API)<br>
3) If your old device is rooted, you can try to copy AntennaPods database, preferences and downloads from one device to the other. You could try to use TitaniumBackup for example (if you get an error about missing files, you probably have to change that manually in the backup or use the app CheatDroid). Obviously, this is not supported, but you can ask the community for help on [our Google forum](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/antennapod) (e.g. [how to keep my set up when changing to a new device...](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/antennapod/cN3SbuB0-Bo)).
**Q: The AntennaPod on F-Droid is a (few) release(s) behind on Google Play, can you update it?**<br>
A: Nope, unfortunately not, as the repository there is not maintained by the developers of AntennaPod. They just pull whenever we tag a new release. AntennaPod should be on schedule with Google Play, if it's not the case you might want to report the issue. First check the [F-Droid Data repository](https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/issues) if the issue is already discussed and create a new issue if needed.
**Q: I installed AntennaPod via F-Droid, can I join the Beta programme?**<br>
A: Nope, unfortunately not, as the repository there is not maintained by the developers of AntennaPod. They just pull whenever we tag a new release. If you want to help with beta testing, you can find the [latest builds here](https://www.dropbox.com/sh/4h2kfa2d2jesnu8/AABF7u5QsOn8Lg8MDie4Z4Ama?dl=0) and install them manually.
**Q: How does Episode Cleanup work? When does it kick into play?**<br>
A: If an episode isn't in the queue and it isn't marked as a favourite, then it can be deleted if space is needed for new episodes. This happens when the auto download algorithm makes a list of files it "wants" to download. Then AP checks how much space there's left in the cache and how many files need to be cleaned up.
**Q: How do Episode Cleanup and Auto Delete differ?**<br>
Auto Delete is aggressive, it'll get rid of the file as soon as possible (when playback completed). Episode Cleanup only deletes anything if the space is needed, i.e. it is much more defensive. The latter also can delete files that have not been completed.
**Q: How do I add a feed manually by URL?**<br>
Click on the hamburger ("three lines" icon on the top left). Choose "Add Podcast". Type the podcast URL in "Add Podcast by URL" then click "CONFIRM". Then click on "SUBSCRIBE" and then click "OPEN PODCAST".
**Q: What determines the order in which episodes end up in the queue?**<br>
[ANSWER NEEDS WORK] Downloads occur in parallel. Whichever download finishes first gets added to the queue, followed by the next item, and then the next.
