Podcast download/subscribe for offline use #64

Open cshields opened 9 years ago

My personal use of podcast apps on other platforms is to listen offline, usually catching up on podcasts in environments where I am lacking internet. A first step to this would be the capability of downloading an episode (rather than just playing it straight from the UI) - a bonus feature would be an automatic sync of 'subscribed' podcasts (configurable, ie "x number of new episodes")

We actually did this but have it disabled because of bugs on low memory Firefox OS devices. But we're looking to use serviceworkers to do it in the futures, for sure. :-)

We'll treat subscription syncing as a separate feature. But yes: we need downloads back and they'll be going in the Q3 version, either with ServiceWorkers or with localForage.
