We're experiencing problems with multiple dublincore/episode as well, but
where we're encountering the problem is in the trim ui failing while
trying to request all these metadata files in one url, breaking the
request. We have a workaround for this, namely using the last
dublincore/episode listed, but this doesn't answer the underlying
question. Is the designed behavior to save these edits as separate
entries, or to overwrite previous entries?
If the expected behavior is multiple entries, then there are bugs in the
rss feed as noted by James, and the trim ui failing that we've
encountered. If not than the bug lies in that it's not overwriting
previous entries when editing.
Can anyone tell us which is correct? I'll happily file a bug either way.

Subject: [Opencast Matterhorn] Multiple edits creates multiple
dublincore/episodes and confusion

Hi,
To schedule a set of recordings often takes multiple edits. eg we want
each recording title in a series to have a lecture number, BIO_FOO-1,
BIO-FOO-2 etc.
Each edit adds a new dublincore/series and dublincore/episode into the
mediapackage. The dublincore/series all point to the same file but the
dublincore/episode are all different each representing a new edit. The
problem we have had is that the RSS feed has taken the recording title
at random from one of the dublincore/episodes not the last.
If storing recording edits as multiple episodes is correct (!?) Are
they ordered by the id (Catalog-N)? Should everything (eg RSS feed) be
using the dublincore/episode file with the highest value of N?
I want to check what the expected behaviour is before I file a bug
report.
Regards
James
