@advplyr commented on GitHub (Apr 30, 2022):

You have to create a new library with the library type of "Podcast". By default the /audiobooks folder will be for library type "Audiobooks" and cannot be deleted.
This will be improved in future updates since Podcasts were just recently added.

I created the Library but used the /audiobooks folder.
Do you mean I have to create a specific folder on server as well as a Library ?
And also map it in Docker ?

Correct, you have to have an audiobooks library that maps to the /audiobooks folder (that is created by default).
If you want podcasts you need to create a new library with a new path mapped in docker.

@slfhstr commented on GitHub (Apr 30, 2022):

Thank you.
So I created a folder in local server, ~/audioboooks/podcasts, alongside ~/audioboooks/audiobooks.
I adjusted Docker start command to this :

docker run -d \
  -e AUDIOBOOKSHELF_UID=99 \
  -e AUDIOBOOKSHELF_GID=100 \
  -p 13378:80 \
  -v /root/audiobookshelf/audiobooks:/audiobooks \
  -v /root/audiobookshelf/podcasts:/podcasts \
  -v /root/audiobookshelf/config:/config \
  -v /root/audiobookshelf/metadata:/metadata \
  --name audiobookshelf \
  ghcr.io/advplyr/audiobookshelf

I created new Library using type podcasts and called it podcasts and set it to search iTunes and set it to /podcasts in app.
All works fine EXCEPT same problem : does not download.
App logs now show ERROR Root path has no media folders: /podcasts
Errr, yes it does.
Let me know if I am doing something stupid but this does not smell like a folder/directory issue.

What does your /podcasts folder look like? Each podcasts needs to be in its own folder.

Yes, they are.
The app creates the folders. I assume correctly.
I can see 2 podcast feeds installed as samples.
In the app, the podcast is shown with correct path for e.g. cover.jpg

The web socket shouldn't be required to download episodes, unless that is causing the server to crash.

You are going to the podcast page and pressing the search button and downloading episodes from there? Can you check the logs when you do that? You should see logs referring to your request to download.

Not sure if important but "fullPath" in the podcast json file does not show the podcast folder

less config/libraries/data/data.0.json

I would expect that fullPath shows the full path of the specific podcast feed e.g. /podcasts/FLOSS\ Weekly\ \(Audio\)/
Or maybe not if the json is file is for the library, rather than the individual feed.
Yep, seems I got the wrong json file - should have been looking in libraryItems

Clicking on a specific podcast shows all its 'header' info, but clicking on the episodes tab shows no episodes.
So can't specifically select an episode.
Just trashed the install and re-run it.
Same behaviour : podcast created (very nicely) from search, folder created by app, cover.jpg and metadata download.
But no episodes shown in list

Errr.
No.
God, I'm so sorry.
But in my defence, I think this is a UI issue
There is no search button on the Episodes tab.
And UI messages in red like Incomplete or Missing and log messages like Root path has no media folders: /podcasts pointed me in the wrong direction.
There are excellent screen buttons like [Scan Library] elsewhere.
The Episode tab and the Episode list should have something similar.

Anyway, thanks so much for your patience and your support.
And thank you for such a nice app : beats my previous setup (Jellyfin and bashpodder). 👍
Hope my idiocy is helpful to suggest some UI improvement.
Closing this now.

Just stumbled on the same issue, that Podcasts were not downloaded. After reading this issue, I was able to resolve it (was a user error, not finding the correct buttons). I am very happy with Audiobookshelf so far!

Thank-you, I also had no idea how to retrieve podcasts until I found this issue, the magnifying glass 'search' icon doesn't represent anything to do with fetching episodes to me.. maybe just a big "find episodes to download" button where the "no episodes" text is would be clearer.

Haven't looked in to audiobookshelf far enough yet to look at making a PR but I'll kick the idea around my head this weekend.

There is this documentation as well. The website needs some more guides if you think of other things that can be added and might reorganized soon so guides are easier to find.
