What is wrong with my Overcast or Shortcuts app?

iPadOS 14.2, Overcast 2020.8

In Shortcuts app is only one action of Overcast app:Add to Overcast. No way to see other actions. Any help will be appreciated. TIA.

Yeah, that is Overcast's only Shortcuts action. It's to add a podcast feed to it.

The only other thing you'd be able to do there is open the app.

You could only have it start playing with a Siri Shortcut, which is a separate thing.

Ok, but you can find on the Web many shortcuts with more Overcast actions. Some have their Shortcuts app editor populated with several Overcast actions, some have only the Add to Overcast action. Is it not a glitch?

Can you post examples of some of them?

In the Shortcuts group on Facebook 1m ago, one member, answered the same question so “I don’t have an answer, but I used to use several different Overcast actions in Shortcuts and also noticed that the others all recently disappeared. Very odd.”

Mark Robertson’s Podcast Note shortcut on Twitter. You will find there the Get Share URL with Timestamp action which is missing at me.

Oh right, now I see. Yeah, they're not showing up here either. The action still works in that shortcut workflow though... Has to be a 14.2 issue considering it hasn't been addressed.

Maybe it's only in the Overcast beta?
