Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Rigellute/spotify-tui/issues/827

At present there's no way to see which episodes have already been played. Does the Web API allow for this? Would it be possible to add an icon or string next to played episodes such as (p) or something similar?

This would be very useful if it could be combined with a config option to filter out played episodes and default sorting by oldest episodes first.

@sputnick1124 commented on GitHub (Sep 28, 2021):

The UI should already be showing this. I think what may be happening is that due to a limitation in the underlying librespot library, tracks played with spotifyd do not get properly reported as played back to Spotify's servers.

Some questions for you:

Are you using spotifyd as your playback device?
If you listen to a podcast episode from the web client, does it show as played in spotify-tui's ui?

If the answer to either of those questions is no, then we have something to fix. Otherwise, it is unfortunately not something we can solve within this project.
