Podcast feed rendered invisible if all episodes are deleted

[SuperEngineer]

There is absolutely No way in Rhythmbox 2.96 to see the *full* list of podcasts added (very important when upgrading from one [Ubuntu] version to another & ofas a "reminder" at other times). The only way to find out if a podcast is succesfully subscribed [or forgotten to be added in the first place] is to wait for a new episode... or *fail* to download the episode because one has "No way in Rhythmbox 2.96 to see *full* list of podcast subscriptions".

Confirmed. This can be reproduced by adding a podcast feed and deleting all the available episodes. The entry will disappear from the feed list and there is no obvious way to restore it.

A better solution would be to have all feeds appear in the feed list and create a filter that can be used to omit those with no new episodes.

Comment from the developer:

"This is tricky to fix. The podcast feed list is built by gathering the
podcast feeds from the results of an episode query, and there's no
convenient place to add extra feeds that don't have any episodes. I'm
intending to do something about this soon, either as part of a
redesign of the podcast UI or just by doing bad things to the query.
I'll think about how to do the latter and maybe we can work out a
short term fix."

Chris - it is good to know that someone (your ggod self) is at least willing to try to resolve this bug.
As the reporter of this bug, I fell qualified to wish you good luck and & zero stress in the fix.
Thankyou.

This has been fixed upstream.

it's a pity there's not a "thank you" status ;)
