Cannot sync podcasts on itunes with iphone
Since using the app Podcasts on my iPhone (because of iOS7), I cannot sync my podcasts from iTunes.
Background:
Most of my podcasts appear in the Podcasts app, but not all settings from iTunes got lost, so I would need to re-subscribe to some podcasts on the Podcasts app. And then, all progress in seeing some of the podcast-video on iTunes gets lost when I want to see them on my iPhone.
I already stopped the synchronisation on iTunes and started that again, but the Podcasts app shows completely un-synchronised information of my podcasts. The worst part is, that I already downloaded a lot of the podcasts episodes to iTunes on my Win7-PC and I need to download all of them again, whe I want to play them. (The podcasts-synchronisation tab on iTunes does nothing anymore, so why is it still there?)
Here's my question: Is there a possibility - except using the cloud - to synchronise podcasts episodes and progress between iTunes and my iPhone?
Thank a lot,
Morkus.
iPhone 4S, iOS 7.0.2, iTunes 11.1.0.126
