Why does the Episodes screen not show the correct episode-level art for an episode? #23

If you are on the Episodes screen, then you will see podcast's image art in the Episodes list, but not the episode's image art in the list. Why does this happen? |

The reason this happens is because we have to manually shrink the images that load on our list screens, and store them on our servers. If we do not do this, and we instead use the image files AS IS as the podcasters provides them in their RSS feed, sometimes their image files are huge, like 5MB, and loading several images like that on the Episodes screen can slow the app down considerably. Anyway, we currently only shrink the podcast level art for podcasts, but not the episode level art for podcasts, just because it would be more expensive for us to shrink both of them. As a result, the shrunken podcast level artwork appears on the Episodes screen (because we have to use a shrunken image there), not the episode artwork. This is a problem we hope to solve sooner than later, as people are often confused by it, but in the meantime, that is the reason why different images load on the Episodes screen. |
