Description of your problem: Upload seemed to go well for my latest podcast mp3. However, I wanted to edit the description, and then I saw this "Episode does not exist" error when I selected "More" on the page. On the main Podcast page, the podcast is visible and playable, but going to that podcast's page gets the error.

I have the same issue with the latest version 3.1.4.1. I've check the source code and the process here:

https://github.com/PodcastGenerator/PodcastGenerator/blob/7152b33b02dc6e858a724050672702b0823c01ad/PodcastGenerator/core/episodes.php#L10-L93

• My files are mp3 files and mp3 is also present in components/supported_media/supported_media.xml
• All my files have a sidecar xml file
• modification dates are not in the future (some of them are 4 years old)
• getEpisodes returns all information correctly

So I found this code

https://github.com/PodcastGenerator/PodcastGenerator/blob/7152b33b02dc6e858a724050672702b0823c01ad/PodcastGenerator/index.php#L39-L41

After changing the config of max_recent to all everything else worked:

$max_recent = 'all'; // How many file to show in the home page

So this issue is just reproducible when max_recent is NOT set to all.

@klein0r what did you have for max_recent before?

Also, for editing episodes, there is a new admin page for listing episodes and getting quick access to their edit pages in 3.2.

@klein0r what did you have for max_recent before?
