so... still not much detail.

maybe try the "rubber ducky" / ELI5 method of pretend you're explaining the situation to a rubber ducky or a 5 year old.

use lots of detail, pretend you're explaining the situation to somebody who has never used the app before and does not even know what it is supposed to do.

that might help get enough info for devs to understand what is going on.

uh... it would be in the download log tab regardless if it is a failed feed or episode download.

and how can i find which podcast it is short of exporting the opml file? Not easy to use

uh... if this was the sort of situation that i encounter sometimes, this would all be super obvious:

there is normally an error in notification and red error in the download log tab.

maybe add a lot more detail to your OP on how to recreate your issue and the exact error messages and things like that, to help figure out what is actually going on?

I have hundreds of subscriptions and some always fail to download. I want
to remove them plwase help. I will code this myself if you liKe.

I think it simple. You have hundreds of podcasts. You have lots of errors
and cannot figure them out. There is no action you can take on the errors
because you cannot search for them. I guess i could google the stream url
to find the podcast.

Example

Invalid type

File URL:
http://roundup.lincolnloop.com/feed.xml

So that is the django roundup podcast i found by googling.

i can now remove it. Also is there a way ti search by name to find the
podcast? searching by url would resolve the issue. Also printing the name
of the podcast would.

Thanks @jmichael2497 for the ELI5 method :)

Now I get what is going on. So you have failed feed updates in your download log but it does not display the title of the podcast, right? Pretty strange. Normally, it should display the title. I will have a look at it.

I have a workaround. In the feed list it shows a red x next to the broken
ones so this us great. I am able to remove all the brokens. Dankeshoen. Mfg,
Mike

This specific download error did not store the title of the feed properly. Fixed in #3921. Reason was that AntennaPod tried to get the title from the failed download instead of using the title from the old, working copy from the database.

Danke sehr
