Podcast stream stops before end and plays next episode

iTunes Version 11.3.1.2


I have a problem when streaming podcasts in iTunes. I don't mind that the stream stops to rebuffer due to slow internet or disconnects,

however, instead of rebuffering/reconnecting and resuming the same podcast, iTunes decides to start the next episode in the list.


At least I can manually stop playing the wrong episode, click on the episode I was listening to,

and resume the podcast I was originally playing, but this is really irritating.


Is there any solutions available? Or could the developers please take a look at this?


Thanks.

Windows 8, iTunes Version 11.3.1.2

This is a glitch in the iTunes software in which the podcast streaming buffer does not keep up with your playing of the Podcast. There is no solution, it is purely a shortcoming of the software. The solution is to get a better streaming program, there are many available. iTunes is slowly becoming completely obsolete.
