Podcast following and management happens within Spotify (app or website). So if you want to add a podcast to your Mighty, the first thing you want to do is to follow it on Spotify. All followed podcasts should show up within the Podcast folder on the "+" add content tab of the Mighty app.
Syncing Podcasts to Mighty
- Make sure your Mighty is plugged into a power source (you don't want the battery to die while syncing)
- Open the Mighty app on your phone or tablet.
- Confirm your Mighty is on (LED on and likely white/light pink ). If your Mighty is fully powered down, you might have to press and hold power for 3 seconds).
- Within the Mighty app, verify your Mighty device is connected to your phone or tablet (chainlink icon in lower left). You should see your Mighty device name and a green check mark.
- With your Mighty connected to the app, tap to the browse section ("+" in the lower right of the Mighty app to view your playlists).
- You will see your Spotify playlist populate (see below). You will also see a fold down section that says "Podcasts" above your playlists.
- Tap the Podcasts section.
- Tap a podcast series to see a list of episodes in that series.
- Tap the + button next to the podcast episode that you want to sync to Mighty.
- Selected podcast episodes will show a pink chasing arrows icon in place of the + button.
- Tap the "Sync" button in the top right to start the sync process.
Refreshing Podcasts on Mighty
If you refresh a podcast episode that is synced to your Mighty, the system will check for any new episodes from that podcast series. If a new episode is available, then it will be synced to your Mighty. If a new episode isn't available, then nothing will be synced to your Mighty. The episode that is currently synced to your Mighty will not be auto-deleted unless you use the Stay Fresh process to automatically refresh.
To manually refresh:
- Go to the Home screen and tap the "Refresh All" button to refresh all of your podcasts.
- If you only want to refresh some of your podcasts, tap the + button next to each playlist that you want to refresh. The "Refresh All" button will then show the number of podcasts that you have selected.
- Tap the "Refresh" button to start the refresh process. Only the selected podcasts will be refreshed.
To automatically refresh using Stay Fresh:
- Tap the three horizontal lines in the upper left-hand side of the Home screen to view the Settings menu.
- Select the type(s) of content that you would like automatically update each night.
- Select the time of day when you would like the automatic update to start. We recommend choosing a time in the middle of the night when Mighty won't be in use.
- Tap "Save".
Note: Mighty must be plugged into a charger and within range of a known WiFi network in order for Stay Fresh to run at the chosen time each night.
Removing Podcasts from Mighty
- Go to the Home screen and swipe left on podcast that you want to remove. A trashcan icon will be displayed.
- Tap the trashcan icon to remove the selected podcast from your Mighty.
- NOTE: this is the same process for playlists or podcasts.
