Is it possible that the playlist contains a podcast episode that was removed from the podcast?

Thaks for your reply!
Not in my case.
With downgrade to version 2.17.6, all playlists have reappeared. Some are empty, others are not.

Unlikely in my case also - my playlists are recreated nightly

Does this mean that the bug is fixed and that I can apply the update?

(I think this is the first time I've reported a bug, so I'm not used to it).

@nichwall commented on GitHub (Jan 4, 2025):

The Docker edge image gives you access to the latest commit on GitHub (it's usually available about 15-20 minutes after a commit). You can use this "beta version" to help test fixes and new features before a release. You will need to re pull the image if you are wanting to test a newer edge version.

The fix is not currently available in the latest tag, because that is the latest release (since it is still awaiting release at the time of writing this).
