Describe the issue
I've added a private RSS feed from Patreon to my ABS library using the following RSS link (redacted):
https://www.patreon.com/rss/SkepticsGuide?auth=g_xxxxxThe podcast is successfully added to the library with the correct cover art. I'm able to see all published episodes using the

"Find Episodes" button:
I select an episode to download and click "Download 1 Episode". The "Started downloading episodes" banner appears momentarily.

However, the episode never gets added to the Episodes list of the podcast. I do notice that it gets added to the "Library files" section of the podcast, but with a file size of 0 MB:

Looking at the logs I'm seeing 2 errors:

Steps to reproduce the issue
Audiobookshelf version
2.2.16
How are you running audiobookshelf?
Docker
@advplyr commented on GitHub (Mar 11, 2023):
Is the episode file actually downloaded and in your folder?
@mahuika88 commented on GitHub (Mar 11, 2023):
There is an episode file in the folder but it shows a size of 0MB.
@mahuika88 commented on GitHub (Mar 11, 2023):
Oops, didn't mean to close the issue
@mahuika88 commented on GitHub (Mar 12, 2023):
I ran some more testing and I was able to replicate the issue by running ABS from source and invoking the download podcast episode API.
My API call:
stdout from npm provided more details (I modified some console.log messages in utils/fileUtils.js to print the url and download path):
@advplyr commented on GitHub (Mar 13, 2023):
Have you tried taking that URL and pasting in your browser to see if it is valid?
@mahuika88 commented on GitHub (Mar 13, 2023):
Yes. I've tried pasting the URL directly into Firefox and it downloads the mp3 file. Also attempted with cURL and Insomnia and the request was successful in both cases.
@advplyr commented on GitHub (Mar 14, 2023):
I found the problem here. Had to due with https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf/pull/1515
Patreon already gives us URLs that are encoded, so I added a check before encoding.

Fixed in v2.2.17
