Windows Phone app for Desktop: "We couldn’t find your Podcasts library, but you can create a new one using Windows Explorer, and we’ll use that."

  • Artykuł

Solution:  Create a new Library.

 

Library must be named “Podcasts”

Library must be of type “Music”

 

To change library type:

1.
Right click library
in Explorer 2.
Choose Properties 3.
In Library
tab change Optimize this library for to Music

 

Hat Tip to Peter Jausovec and Hein Htat. Thanks!

    Is there a way to mark a podcast episode as "played" on your PC, so that you can use the "unplayed episodes" option when syncing podcasts?

    Creating a "Podcast" library didn't work for me until I created a "Podcast" folder in my user folder and included it in the library.

    @NatWags - I just had to run through this again - great point!  You have to actually go into your podcast folder and then it will prompt you to add one.  Also, couldn't remember how to create a new library at first, so I had to go to the address bar in Windows Explorer and just type "Libraries", which took me to it.  From there, the rest worked.
