missing episodes with certain podcasts about antennapod HOT 4 CLOSED

I don't think this is a bug.

On a brief look only some "as a teaser" episodes seem to be free.
For the rest you need an extra subscription. e.g. Podcasts+ and I do not think that this can/will be covered by AntennaPod.

An improvement in AntennaPod could be implemented to indicate that a particular Podcast is e.g. premium. At least in the Apple Music meta data this information is available.

Not sure how Podcast Addict handles them. It loads hundreds of episodes and all of them are playable for free without extra subscription.

The feed only contains 4 episodes.

It probably uses another feed url. See also https://antennapod.org/documentation/general/central-distributed

Anyway, there is nothing we could do on AntennaPod's end. The episodes just aren't in the feed. You can contact the podcast creators to ask why the feed contains only 4 episodes.

If such information is available in the feed (we don't (want to) rely on other data sources, except podcast search APIs) it could be displayed. Although I doubt it'd get implemented any time soon/at all; IMHO there'd be little to no benefit for most users.

If there is a concrete example & documentation, a dedicated feature request could be created.
