Originally created by @BenLand100 on GitHub (Jul 6, 2023).

Steps to reproduce

  1. Under local media, create local folder for books
  2. Select empty folder on SD card
  3. Attempt to download media to this folder

Expected behaviour

Media should appear in local folder

Actual behaviour

  1. Download starts
  2. See "Download complete. Processing..."
  3. Red banner at bottom "Item download complete but failed to create library item"

Note1: Folders containing cover art (!) are created (!!) so ABS definitely has access.
Note2: Selecting "Internal App Storage" (whatever that is) works, but I want to use a custom location.
Note3: I've consistently had issue downloading files, but usually removing the folder and adding it again works. This is a further regression to a nonworking state.

Environment data

Audiobookshelf Version: v2.2.19 / 0.9.65-beta

Android version: 10

Device model: Galaxy S9

Stock or customized system: Stock

Updated the server version after noting the app listed a minimum requirement in the changelog (!) and this issue went away. App should warn if the server is out of date, instead of misc failures like this.
