Originally created by @cinvan2000 on GitHub (Jul 17, 2022).

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open Android App.
  2. Find an audiobook in M4B-format. Click the "download" icon in the app, wait for it to reach 100%
  3. On 100% it shows an Error instead. "Item download complete but failed to create library item"

Expected behaviour

I would expect the file to show up in the local folder storage and the app able to play from that local storage.

Actual behaviour

Similar to #154 but not the same problem i believe. The error is issued, in red, at the bottom of the screen. If you check local media within the app, the book isn't there. But if you do a manual scan the book does appear, but with the note Not linked to server item. Whats more, all the files has an .mp3 extension added. That is Chapter 001.m4b becomes Chapter 001.m4b.mp3

Relevant lines from logcat:

At the end it gives me a null item id
AbsDownloader: Item download complete The Long Earth | local library item id: null | Items remaining in Queue 0

I also get one of these for every file

This also happens when downloading from the website using the m4b merge tool. I got a m4b.mp3 as a download
