Describe the issue

Hi,

I have an issue with two feeds:

  • When I search "PointerPodcast" on Audiobookshelf I can add the feed correctly but when I try to download the latest episodes the container restarts.

2023-04-05 12:42:40 ERROR Invalid inputs to parseAndCheckForUpdates
2023-04-05 12:45:56 ERROR [xmlToJSON] Error Error: Attribute without value Line: 18 Column: 376 Char: >
2023-04-05 12:45:56 ERROR [podcastUtils] Invalid XML or RSS feed
2023-04-05 12:46:41 ERROR [podcastUtils] Invalid XML or RSS feed
2023-04-05 12:50:21 ERROR Invalid inputs to parseAndCheckForUpdates
2023-04-05 12:50:47 INFO === Starting Server ===
2023-04-05 12:50:47 INFO [Server] Init v2.2.18

Is there a problem with that feed or Audiobookshelf have a bug that causes the restart when I open that feed?

  • When I search "Il disinformatico" podcast on Audiobookshelf and I click the result I get the error: "Failed to get podcast feed".

2023-04-05 23:34:19 ERROR [podcastUtils] getPodcastFeed Error AxiosError: Request failed with status code 403

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Search "PointerPodcast"

  2. Add the podcast to the library

  3. Open the podcast -> Edit -> Episodes -> Check and download new episodes.

  4. Search "Il disinformatico"

  5. Click on the result.

Audiobookshelf version

2.2.18

How are you running audiobookshelf?

Docker

This had to do with the title having a type attribute in the rss feed. I've never seen that before.

<title type="html">PointerPodcast</title>

https://pointerpodcast.it/index.xml

I'm testing with that podcast and not having an issue. Are you sure you have updated to 2.2.19? Can you be more specific in the issue again?

There is another issue with this RSS feed that I found. They put an empty space in front of the mp3 file path.

This seems like an error on their side but I updated it so that spaces will be removed.
