@overcastfm please fix Airplay 2. Doesn’t work at all anymore. Airplay 1 works but with huge delays and usually won’t even resume from pause.

@galonsky @overcastfm I’m sure it’s on his todo list, and must be a major refactor of the audio engine, but I agree. It’s so frustrating. Airplay 1 is the better option at the moment, but sometimes resuming or new episodes just don’t work and you have to swap to phone speaker and back again to reset it.

@Diggory @galonsky Honestly, it’s not a huge refactor. My AirPlay 2 engine didn’t change with the rewrite — iOS 18 broke it in subtle, buggy ways that I’m still trying to work around.

18.1 is significantly improved.

@overcastfm @Diggory iOS 18 definitely made it worse, but I did have airplay issues on the new rewrite on iOS 17. Never had issues pre rewrite. Glad to hear 18.1 improves it.

@overcastfm @Diggory @galonsky Will be waiting to try 18.1 too then… But I agree there was problems already with 17, it is just that upgrading to 18 has made using Overcast with HomePods (mini) very unreliable.

Interestingly I have seen the Apple Music app having some problems too (but a lot less).

But another app I use to “stream” mp3 from my NAS has had no issues whatsoever (MusicStreamer) 🤯

@overcastfm unfortunately no dice on airplay 2 in 18.1 either
