What happened?

I had started a huge backlog download job for a podcast. While it was still being downloaded, a new episode dropped. That episode is now added to the download queue 9 times and will be added more presumably as long as the other jobs haven’t finished

What did you expect to happen?

Audiobookshelf should check, when it found a new episode, whether its already in the download queue

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Add a podcast you know will drop a new download today
  2. Download the podcast’s entire backlog (or give it any large download job for another podcast)
  3. Watch the new episode being added over and over

Audiobookshelf version

2.19.4

How are you running audiobookshelf?

Docker

What OS is your Audiobookshelf server hosted from?
