Podcast Receiver tab not working properly

[jwow313]

Has anyone experienced problems with getting the podcast receiver tab to work properly? I thought the tab is suposed to have a full listing of podcasts/episodes and a form for adding new ones. However, it doesn't seem to be working. See attached screenshot.

As you can see on the left, I have quite a few podcasts, but in the middle tab, there's only a limited list. Meanwhile, clicking the show/hide buttons or really anything in that middle podcast receiver tab doesn't do anything. I also looked at the page source, and it has a LOT more podcast information that isn't being displayed in the browser window (e.g. seems like episode names, etc.) - a 15K lines of HTML code in all.

Any ideas what's going on here?

Note I'm running 4.5 on Snow Leopard. Also, I've tried on both Firefox and Chrome on both Windows and Mac platforms with no success.

Show episodes Hide episodes

I don't follow... The "Show Episodes" and "Hide Episodes" links don't seem to be working anymore. Is there any sort of limit on the number of podcasts that Subsonic can handle properly? The links definitely used to work, but no longer do anything when clicked.

Moreover, a whole bunch of my podcasts are missing. See the listing on the left from my Podcast folder, and the shorter list on the right in the Podcast Receiver.

There appears to be 2 separate but possibly related problems here.
Are you saying that if you click on the show episode link in the podcast receiver that nothing happens?
If so and seeing that the podcast page appears to not show all the podcasts I would suggest stopping and then restarting SS.
Also update the search index (but I am not sure if that indexes podcasts)
Also have a look at the log to see if that is giving any clues to the problem?

Yes, I'm both missing podcasts, and the Show/Hide buttons don't do anything. I've manually stopped Subsonic (through the System Tray helper) and restarted, with no impact. I don't see anything in the logs there (in the helper) either, but are those the logs I'm looking for on a Mac? Sorry, I'm newish to Mac, and I"m used to browsing through file systems to find logfiles.

I have also noticed that you do not appear to have the options on the bottom (download selected etc)
I can only think that 1 podcast has been downloaded with bad tags which has "broke" SS.
Trying moving all the podcasts out of the podcast directory apart from 1 folder and see if that fixes things.
If it does then add the folders back 1 by 1 until it breaks again - culprit found!

I checked my Chrome Console log, and am seeing some Javascript errors. Do others see these errors when loading the Podcast Receiver page?

Sindre- any help here?

[jwow313]

More information... Looks like some of those errors are related to Chrome and Chrome extensions. I loaded it up in Firefox with Firebug and found the Javascript issue that is hanging things up when I click an episode or click "Show all"

episodeCount is not defined
[Break On This Error] for (var i = 0; i < episodeCount; i++) {

But, I'm not sure where to go from here. Not sure where episodeCount was supposed to be defined, and why it's not appearing properly in the HTML generation.
