What happened?

All custom metadata edits to a podcast get reset to the default from the RSS feed. I have noticed this happen before when I manually copy a file to the podcast directory. But this time, it happened when I manually downloaded an episode from the RSS feed.

The log is attached, and this is what I was doing when it happened:
The RSS feed downloaded a duplicate episode (The J. Burden Show Ep. 346 - AgNONsis) so I deleted both copies, then downloaded the episode manually from the RSS feed. Then after it downloaded, all the custom metadata edits to previous episodes were gone.

abs-log.json

What did you expect to happen?

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Make some custom metadata changes
  2. Manually add a podcast episode to the directory

@advplyr commented on GitHub (Oct 8, 2025):

Can you clarify what you mean by "custom metadata"? Are you referring to the RSS feed specifically or the changes were also reverted in the Abs web client?

All of that data is stored in the sqlite db podcastEpisodes table. We don't have anything that would automatically apply a backup or revert a bunch of changes in the db.
