Summary
The not_title filter is excluding episodes even when the forbidden keyword
does NOT appear at the start of the title.
It behaves as if the regex were matching anywhere in the string, or as if the
filter logic itself were inverted.
In short: episodes that should be allowed are being skipped with
regexp mismatch even though they do not match the not_title pattern.
This makes it impossible to exclude only specific titles (e.g., Mass titles)
without unintentionally blocking legitimate content (e.g., homilies or sermons).
Examples
These titles should be excluded (match the regex):
- "Holy Mass — Tuesday"
- "The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass"
- "The Holy Mass (Latin)"
These should NOT be excluded, but Podsync still rejects them:
- "Homily: The Parable of the Good Samaritan"
- "Sermon — Love Your Enemies"
- "Reflection on Today’s Gospel"
Podsync version
- 2.7.1-b
- Also reproduced with 2.8.0
- Running on Linux (Raspberry Pi)
