Describe the issue

When podcast downloads fail the partial file is left behind as a playable file with a shorter duration. This means on subsequent library scans it's picked up and added as a duplicate episode which ends part way through.

Expected Behaviour: When an episode download fails, the partial file is deleted.

Example of a download error which leaves behind a partial file:
2023-07-27 21:28:38 [2023-07-27 20:28:38] ERROR: [FfmpegHelpers] downloadPodcastEpisode: Error Error: Input stream error: aborted undefined undefined (ffmpegHelpers.js:154)

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Download a podcast and experience an episode not successfully downloading.
  2. Rescan Library.

Audiobookshelf version

2.3.3

How are you running audiobookshelf?

Docker

I'm getting the same "Input stream error" attempting to download podcasts and this is the only reference I can find to it. Did you find a solution to your problem? I can't get a single episode to download.

The problem went away when I moved away from WSL and hosted with docker directly on linux. I have no idea if that's the issue or not, but I've downloaded well over 3,000 episodes since moving to linux with no issues.
