Originally created by @silentArtifact on GitHub (May 26, 2022).

I'm a patreon subscriber for a podcast (Old Gods of Appalachia, if it matters), and I'd love to be able to pull episodes, but for whatever reason Audiobookshelf throws a "Failed to get podcast feed" from the RSS link provided by Patreon. Running on Docker, on a Synology NAS, most recent version.

Are you able to add the podcast? Where are you getting this error?

Yeah, I'm able to add it, no problem there, and it even pulls an image and a brief description, but when I click "Find Episodes" a red notice slides in on the top-right saying "Failed to get podcast feed". If it'll help, I can send you the feed URL?

I'm still getting this error, unfortunately. I can send you the feed, if that would help, or logs or whatnot?

You will need to remove the podcast and re-add it.

OK, I discovered the "issue". When adding the private patreon feed it populates it correctly initially but once it's saved it replaces the RSS feed with the address of the patreon site itself instead of the original RSS feed. I edited the podcast with the correct feed address and it found and downloaded episodes properly. Thanks for all the help!

Yep that was the issue that I fixed for v2.0.18 in this commit https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf/commit/96232676cb9f217212e531a913f66436527b7031

Is this not fixed for you in the latest release?

I experience it with 2.0.20 as well.
I can reproduce it be forcing a re-scan, the RSS URL changes from
https://www.patreon.com/rss/stayforever?auth=xxxxxx
to
https://www.patreon.com/rss/stayforever?auth=

anybody else experience this ?

thanks

Faba

@Fabaderheld Are you storing an .abs file inside the podcast folder? If so, it is taking precedence over everything else so double check the feedUrl saved there.
If that .abs file was created before that fix was pushed in v2.0.18 then that would make sense

Indeed there was an .abs file for the podcasts folder.

I tried deleting it and it was recreated, with the wrong URL. The I edited the file with correct URL

;ABMETADATA2
#audiobookshelf v2.0.20

media=podcast
title=Stay Forever: Der geheime Patreon-Feed!
author=Stay Forever: Der geheime Patreon-Feed!
language=
genres=
feedUrl=https://www.patreon.com/rss/stayforever?auth=xxxxxxxx
itunesId=
explicit=N

[DESCRIPTION]
Stay Forever's Private RSS Feed for Fabian Sasse

Afterwards I did "Force Re-Scan" but still the URL was wrong and the .abs file was updated with the wrong URL

;ABMETADATA2
#audiobookshelf v2.0.20

media=podcast

language=
genres=
feedUrl=https://www.patreon.com/rss/stayforever?auth
itunesId=
explicit=N

[DESCRIPTION]
Stay Forever's Private RSS Feed for Fabian Sasse

If there is anything else to test let me know.

regards

Fabian

Another thing I tried was deleting the podcast and remove also all files on disk and the re-adding it. Unfortunately with the same result.

I continue to get this error message when trying to add a private feed for Stratechery, using the stratechery.passport.online domain. It had worked in a previous version, I think, but it stopped syncing and after deleting and trying to re-add it, it seems it can no longer read the RSS feed for some reason. It loads fine in a browser and in other apps.
