Additional Notes

unraid server

It is unclear exactly when it is crashing, but this has been going on for the last few days at least since I last updated the docker container to the latest version from unraid community apps.

[nichwall]

Looks like a permissions issue. Does ABS have write permissions to where you have /Podcasts mounted to? The path is case sensitive.

it did/should... I'll run a check and see if they changed.

[SimplifyAndAddCoffee]

it seems the docker container had been missing a remote mapping for a podcasts folder (was not included in the docker template for unraid) and was just saving them in the image itself, then they disappeared when the image updated. I added a mapping for /Podcasts and rebuilt the podcast library and so far it has been stable. Might still be worth fixing the server crash over the missing path, but it seems like the problem is solved on my end for now.

Glad you got it figured out. I agree fixing the crash is good, but also not sure how to handle it to bring it to a users attention in the event their library path is missing, since this is not a "valid" configuration of the server. If the server handles this gracefully and keeps running, you probably wouldn't notice it wasn't working and data was being removed for much longer.
