I am using the web interface on my PC and noticed that I have 1 particular Podcast that is missing artwork when it previously had it. This was added from a suggestion of one of the other podcasts on my list. I would normally remove/re-add, but since adding doesn’t seem to be working currently I do not want to even try that. Any help on this would be appreciated!
I’m able to add that feed and I also do not see the poster. Let me check with the team if there is something wrong with the feed or the way we are ingesting that info.

As a note, and it hasn’t happened recently so this may be something you’ve recently addresses, but I have had artwork for others that had appeared just vanish at times and then it would come back and others would vanish. This was happening until recently (within the last 2 months I would say). Adding in case that has any bearing on this.
It’s also likely that the RSS feed is not written properly. There is another thread where a user fed the rss link through another site to fix things and that will work. Maybe take a look A Podcast disappeared and won't re-add.
I did look into that earlier, but unfortunately, that scrubber doesn’t seem to load when I go to the provided link. I have tried looking for another, but come up short. I would note, that I was wondering if deleting this and then re-adding it from another source would help, but as I previously noted I am still getting this when trying to add ANY new podcast:
I need the URL to check.

There are others, but I have noticed that it doesn’t seem to matter what URL I use for the last few months, I am met with an error on any new podcast I try to add. I have seen others make the same/similar complaint as well.
Apple and Google have their own formatting requirements so their links won’t work. That overcast one appears to require a sign in, which won’t work. The rest also appear to be formatted for specific podcast apps. Plex requires a generic well formed RSS feed. Keep in mind that some podcasts are exclusive to certain platforms. Do they offer an RSS feed? I couldn’t find one.
Bad VIbes RSS: Bad Vibes
As for Marvel Wastelanders, I know that I have added things from Apple and Google before, so in searching for an RSS I nabbed the Apple link and it actually added to my surprise.
That is not a valid RSS feed.
Another that I found for this one: https://pod.link/1557912286.rss
