Describe the issue

I added podcasts using an opml and I am getting this error when I do scan.

It seems to create all the media folders under /podcasts based on the podcasts in the opml, it also downlods all the necesary cover.jpg so I do not know why it complains about folders. It created all the necessary folders.

The "podcasts" folder is filled with the podcast chanel folders after I add the podcasts via .opml


docker run -d \
  -p 80:80 \
  -v /media/audiobookshelf/config:/config \
  -v /media/audiobookshelf/metadata:/metadata \
  -v /media/audiobooks:/audiobooks \
  -v /media/books/:/books \
  -v /media/podcasts:/podcasts \
  --name audiobookshelf \
  --rm ghcr.io/advplyr/audiobookshelf
 


Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. import opml into a podcast library
  2. scan

Audiobookshelf version

2.2.15

How are you running audiobookshelf?

Docker

@advplyr commented on GitHub (Feb 22, 2023):

Are there any audio files yet in those folders? If there are no audio files then it isn't going to detect them. They are created already though from the OPML so you can download episodes that way.

Let me know if that is not the case.
