Describe the issue

Occurs when building from the master branch.

When attempting to download a new podcast episode through the web interface while already having some episodes downloaded it will error with the following:

[2022-03-29T01:51:17.768Z] ERROR: [PodcastController] Attempt to create podcast when folder path already exists "/podcasts/Darknet Diaries"

Note - This only happens when importing an existing podcast and not when adding a new podcast via the UI and downloading episodes.

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Build current master branch container.
  2. Create a library with an existing podcast.
  3. Attempt to download an episode that you do not have from the imported podcast.

Audiobookshelf version

master

How are you running audiobookshelf?

Are you attempting to create a new podcast from the "Search" page when the podcast already exists?

I think you should be matching the podcast instead to set the RSS feed in the details, then on the podcast landing page there is a search for episodes there.

Podcast episode downloader was removed from the form to create a new podcast.
This shouldn't be an issue anymore since you can use the Match tab to match existing podcasts you have.
