What was the Problem?

If you try to download a book with several values in the author field (e.g. a short story anthology - just two authors will work; eight is too many; don't know where the dividing line is), the app crashes after the downloads reach 100% and it tries to import the files.

Steps to Reproduce the Issue

  1. Have a book with several authors.
  2. Attempt to download.
  3. Wait until all downloads reach 100%.
  4. App crashes.

What was Expected?

Downloads should work regardless of how many authors were involved.

Phone Model

Pixel 6

Phone OS

Latest Android

Audiobookshelf App Version

Android App - 0.9.76

Installation Source

Google Play Store

Additional Notes

I have just removed extraneous author information to get the download to succeed, but I'd prefer not to sacrifice this information.

What server version are you on when the crash happens?

Also, are you downloading to Internal app storage or shared storage?

Thanks. Does the crash happen when downloading a book with multiple authors to Internal App Storage?

Downloading to Internal App Storage words, even when downloading to shared storage fails. btw I have updated the server to 2.13.4 since the last comment. The app version is the same.
