Describe the issue

When removing episodes from a podcast (in my case from the podcast episode list), if you remove an episode that is the last file in a playlist, the server crashes attempting to remove the playlist.

Error logs from server:

audiobookshelf_1  | [2023-10-13 13:36:49] INFO: [PodcastController] Removed 1 media progress for episode e12e7dac-e4c7-479a-85a6-3659045a6aa7

audiobookshelf_1  |
audiobookshelf_1  | ReferenceError: playlist is not defined
audiobookshelf_1  |     at ApiRouter.removeEpisode (/server/controllers/PodcastController.js:289:54)

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Create a playlist with multiple episodes in it
  2. Remove/delete those episodes from Audiobookshelf
  3. Server will crash when it attempts to clean up the empty playlist.

Audiobookshelf version

v2,4,4
