Episodes 080 shows twice with the exact same metadata in WebUI. This is just one example of many across all podcasts.

I think we discussed this in discord the other day. This isn't reproducible every time but I have seen this.

The workaround until this is fixed is to disable the watcher for the podcast library.

Can we somehow remove duplicates from already downloaded podcasts? I don't fancy re-downloading some with over 1000 episodes.

Unfortunately to remove duplicates you will have to do it manually.
You can tell which one is the duplicate by pressing edit on the episode. It won't have a linked audio file from an RSS feed

If you are familiar with sqlite you could spin your server down and delete those from the podcastEpisodes table

The fix I made is to stop duplicates from being created when downloading new episodes

Ah yeah, I forgot I updated this to handle the edge case where an RSS feed has every episode named the same. In this case you will want to select the "Hard Delete" checkbox. I'll update my previous comment
