Podcasts are my primary use case (my partner uses audiobooks exclusively), and while it works rather well, I want to put in the caveat that there’s no working playlist functionality in the app, and IME headset controls don’t work from FF for Android.
That’s not a deal breaker for me, but it was a massive disappointment when I switched over. But the lack of playlist functionality in the app only annoys me when I want to follow one of the shorter news feeds, since I have to stop and select the next track every 5 min as the episode ends. No issue with that feed from the browser, so meh.
Works great through my reverse proxy/cloudflare tunnel setup, so not too many actual complaints.
There’s a player queue functionality (which works kind of like a playlist) but I don’t think it transfers across devices. But you can at least queue up a bunch of tracks on a device.
I’ve tried to use the playlist feature on my device a couple of times, but I still had to manually start the next episode. I might try again and see if I can figure it out.
Edit: no change in behavior sadly. Created a playlist and hit play, still had to select the next episode. Played the same playlist from the web client and it goes to the next episode, but headset controls don’t work.
Audiobookshelf also supports podcasts (and ebooks, but I haven’t tested that).

Maybe post an issue report on their github. The queue function does work on desktop at least (the web client), but I don’t bother with playlists.
