Favorite episodes disappear if not subscribed

Bug report
1

App version: 3.6.0 (from Google Play)

Android version: 13

Device model: Samsung galaxy S20

Expected behaviour: Episodes I’ve added to “favorites” and downloaded remain in my Episodes list indefinitely, until I remove them

Current behaviour: Several episodes recently disappeared, specifically 3-4 episodes from podcasts I’m not subscribed to.

First occurred: First noticed a few days ago (after the episodes had previously stayed on my list for weeks). Then I went back and re-favorited and re-downloaded 2 days ago, and those same episodes have already disappeared again, even if I haven’t finshed them.

Steps to reproduce: N/A

Environment: Haven’t changed any device settings or habits I can think of

Stacktrace/Logcat:

To do so you need to subscribe to podcast. Listening when not subscribed is just to allow to try podcast or one episode someone recommended you.
History or favorites are not kept after last downloaded has been listened and removed from queue. Maybe a warning should be added when user try to favorite on an unsubscribed podcast.

It could be a feature request but I think it was initially already discussed. I am pretty sure that would have been what I would have suggested.

Favorite ones should not be deleted, wait for AntennaPod 3.6.1 for the fix
