A Podcast disappeared and won't re-add

Update 2022.02.07, verified fix:
I was able to circumvent the problem by adding the podcast via an OPML file. To do this:

  1. Go to an OPML file generator, such as https://opml-gen.ovh/
  2. Generate an OPML file that includes the problematic RSS feed. In my case, this was Knowledge Fight
  3. In Plex, click ‘Add Podcast by URL’
  4. Choose ‘Import podcasts from an OPML file instead’
  5. Choose the OPML file you generated
  6. Click ‘Continue’

You should see the problematic podcast feed included in your podcasts.

Good luck.

Original post, no longer working:
I experienced the same issue with Knowledge Fight – it disappeared, and I was unable to add it back. I checked their RSS feed against a few validators, and found issues with the XML.

I was able to re-add Knowledge Fight by running their feed through an RSS scrubber and subscribing to the scrubbed feed. This URL points to the scrubbed feed:
