Scheduled Updates Not Happening

[HankRearden]

Hi everyone - I'm a new user and really like BeyondPod. But I'm having an issue I hope you can help me with: I can't get scheduled updates to work.

Apologies up front if this has already been answered and I missed it. I did search but couldn't find an answer. The closest thing I found was this, and although it doesn't seem like it's addressing my specific problem, I tried the suggestions and my problem persists.

I have the paid version of the app.

I have configured Settings > Feed Update Settings > Automatic Updates as follows:

• All feeds
• Update on Schedule: On
• Start at: 5:00 AM
• Repeate Every: 1 day

However - this never seems to do anything. I have to manually click the "Refresh Feeds" button in the left-side menu to get it to search for a download new content. Thankfully, with the paid app, this can be done with one click. But it's a click that I have to remember to make when I'm on wifi - which is often not the same time I want to listen to content. As it stands right now, I sometimes find myself frustrated, "Oh crap, I forgot to refresh and download before I left this morning - now I'm not on wifi..."

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Scheduled Updates haven't been working for me since I upgraded Nougat to Oreo, and Pie didn't fix it. I think it has something to do with the way newer versions of Android restrict background processes to save battery life. I have gotten around this by creating a "From - Till" profile in Tasker to trigger the Auto Update each morning.

Have you tried to change the update schedule (like from every 1 day to every 2 days, save, and then change it back from every 2 days to every 1 day)? I ran into an issue a long time ago where if an app was force-closed at any point (or some other trigger) then Android would disable it's auto-scheduling functionality with no notification. The workaround for me at the time was to go into the app and trigger it to re-add itself to the schedule by making a change like the one I described. It may or may not help you in this particular case, but it's an easy thing to try just in it case it does work.

I'm running Pie (Android 9) and I have two schedules set up (one daily for most of my feeds and one hourly for a couple 'news of the hour' feeds) and I'm not having any scheduling issues. I am, however, running BeyondPod v4.2.18, which is not the latest version available. I found this version to be stable.

Mine keeps wigging out. It will update fine, and then quit. If i re-work the schedule and save it is fine for a bit, and seems to quit again. I too think it has something to do with the background process/battery/wakelock or something. I am on Pie.

I was hoping someone had a solution, I've tried deleting the app and reloading, changing the schedule, and turning the schedule off and on again.

Hi, I have the same problem too and I have not found any solution.

Changing the app power settings as described on some of the threads did the trick. I'm updating every 4 hours now.
