Type of Enhancement

Server Backend

Describe the Feature/Enhancement

I have a custom RSS feed, and it has .opus files in them, I use it basically since I am hosting publicly my own podcast library, but exclusively use opus since my files are converted in that format to reduce storage burden and costs.

However, audiobookshelf doesn't recognize them even though other podcast players do and it says:

NOTE: The MP3 files used by this podcast appear to be missing. They may have been removed permanently from their source location.

Thanks.

Why would this be helpful?

Explained above.

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

None.

Audiobookshelf Server Version

2.30.0

Current Implementation (Screenshot)
