  • Is there a way to change the order of options when selecting episodes?
    Sorry but this would add so much more settings/complexity to the app. Feel free to add the feature requests on podcastaddict.uservoice.com so other users can vote for it. Source: over 2 years ago
  • Wear OS support
    There's no plan to implement a watch app for now. Please add/vote for any feature request on podcastaddict.uservoice.com. Popular requests are usually developed in priority. Source: almost 3 years ago
  • Feature Requests: App needs sweeter animations AND it needs multiple player designs; and with that I'm not just talking about different colors. Think Android 12.

  • block 70.42.244.140 port 5678 on your routers asap
    Have been digging a little more in the little time I have spare at the moment - Seems DNS blacklists/redirect are not fully successfull. Even though I have redirected the domains sling.com, slingbox.com and slingmedia.com to a local "HoneyPod" on my lan it still appears that the slingbox is trying to talk to 67.148.153.136 and 67.148.153.250 on the internet which it can not get to since I shutdown all internet...

  • block 70.42.244.140 port 5678 on your routers asap
    I just blacklisted slingmedia.com and slingbox.com in my DNS so the boxes can not resolve it but that is pretty bad behavior for a company to do that! Source: over 1 year ago
  • Audio/Video Un-syncing
    This has become a little worse with the Slinger server, but I think this is an issue with the Slingbox itself as I see the issue with their application. But I see a lot of cases where the audio gets ahead of the video. Have others seen it? Or does anyone have solutions? One of the solutions on slingbox.com is to factory reset the box.

  • HARD RESET AFTER 11/9
    Also, after my first apparently failed attempt at trying a factory reset with no access to sling what I did was put the slingbox and a PC behind a cheapy old router I had so I could just unplug the uplink cable to make sure nothing was leaking up to the internet. Just concerned about what your router is doing when blocking "slingbox.com" does it just do a DNS lookup and block that IP? In my packet capture there's... Source: over 1 year ago
  • HARD RESET AFTER 11/9
    It appears that the automatic update comes from some path on sling.com because blocking slingbox.com alone still allowed a firmware update. Source: over 1 year ago
