Type of Enhancement

Server Backend

Describe the Feature/Enhancement

I've recently encountered this on my Podcasts homepage:

Looking at the server response payload, the episode number does seem to be missing:

Not sure why the payload is missing the episode number. Assuming it's not a bug, it looks like we can extract it from the title quite easily.

Why would this be helpful?

It will show the correct episode number.

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

Shows "Episode #365" instead of "Episode"

Audiobookshelf Server Version

v2.9.0

Current Implementation (Screenshot)

No response
