What happened?

Occassionally I’ll notice a podcast hasn’t had a new episode in a while, and when I go to the podcasts settings I’ll notice that “schedule automatic episode downloads” is unchecked, even though I never disabled this setting. It seems to be happening randomly, and only for some podcasts, not all of them.

What did you expect to happen?

I expect that schedule automatic episode downloads stays enabled unless I manually disable it.

Steps to reproduce the issue

Hard to reproduce. Enable automatic episode downloads, and then check back each week to see if it’s still enabled.

Audiobookshelf version

V2.32.1

How are you running audiobookshelf?

Docker

What OS is your Audiobookshelf server hosted from?

Linux

If the issue is being seen in the UI, what browsers are you seeing the problem on?

None

Logs

Additional Notes

No response

The download schedule is automatically disabled when the server is unable to fetch the RSS feed 24 times in a row.

I see. Most recently, this only happened to one of my podcasts. And the RSS feed seems to work normally. Does that imply that this is not an issue with my internet, otherwise the download schedule would have been disabled for all of my podcasts, and not just one?

If it's only one RSS feed that was disabled, it could have been for several reasons, such as:

provider rejected the ABS user agent
provider was temporarily unavailable
that podcast is on a different download schedule and there were Internet issues
DNS issues preventing resolution for that specific RSS feed
