What will be synchronized

• With EpisodeSync your devices still remain independent - each one can potentially have a different set of feeds. EpisodeSync will sync only episodes of feeds that are common between the devices.
• Any changes to episode played position on one device will be "pushed" to your other devices (as long as the same episode already exist on the other device).
• If you download episode on a device, and your other devices don't have it already, it will be added to them as a new "streamable" episode. (If your feed is set to download episodes, this "streamable" episode will be automatically downloaded during the next scheduled update).
• If a remote device deletes an episode, by default that episode will NOT be deleted from your local device. You can configure the local device to delete the episode by checking "Allow remote episode deletions" in the sync settings.
• If you add a feed on a remote device, by default that feed will NOT be added to your local device. You can configure local device to always add (accept) feeds added on remote devices by selecting the appropriate option in "Accept feeds from remote devices" in the sync settings.

When changes will be synchronized

• All changes (add, delete or play episode) made on one device will be published to other devices shortly (currently within 5 minutes) after the last change is made.
• Once the local device changes are published, in most cases other devices should receive them immediately (this depends on their connectivity and network load).
• You can trigger a manual sync by refreshing or updating any feed. (During the BETA test period you can also use the a dedicated sync menu: Menu > More > EpisodeSync.)
• You can also manually send any existing feed to all your other devices at any time. Long press on the feed in the feed list and select "Send Feed to my Other Devices".

Configuring EpisodeSync

You must have BeyondPod Phone v3.1.30 or BeyondPod Tablet v3.10.30 or later. BeyondPod needs to be unlocked for EpisodeSync to work. (Sync settings are currently not available on the free or trial versions). To enable EpisodeSync on your device, go to Menu > More > Settings > Configure EpisodeSync.

Once enabled, you can configure EpisodeSync in: Menu > More > Settings > EpisodeSync. Episode sync requires an account that will be shared between all devices you want to synchronize. Use the "Create Account' or 'Login' buttons to create and later set your account on all devices you want to sync. Below are the options that can be used to customize the sync behavior:

• "Allow remote episode deletions" - check if you want episodes deleted on remote devices to be also deleted from the local device.
• "Accept feeds from remote devices" - select if you want feeds you add on remote devices to be automatically added to this device. Feeds will be added to the same categories as the remote device (creating categories if necessary).
