I have five hundred plus podcasts in PocketCasts, I exported the OPML file from the PocketCast's Andoid app and added it to my new ABS podcast library. I was running ABS 2.8.0 at the time, and it "uploaded" my podcasts without complaint. Fast forward to a few days ago, when I was starting ABS from scratch this time running 2.8.1. Under 2.8.1 the same OPML file that worked before throws errors and eventually aborts, with none of my podcasts "uploaded" to ABS.

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Load a large OPML file into ABS on 2.8.1

Audiobookshelf version

v2.8.1

How are you running audiobookshelf?

Docker
