I imported a some audiobooks that I manage with both Plex and BookSonic that seem to like the directory structure to be:

author -> series -> year - title

Importing the same library into audiobookshelf treats the year as number of parts, stating that parts are missing.

Thanks for testing it out.
I'm going to work on the scanner now, since it only supports the folder structure I use. I think the best way to ensure accurate scans is to have the user enter their folder structure or select from a list of options.

This is added now. I chose to just auto detect it based on the number of folders.
You'll have to remove each audiobook or delete the /mnt/user/appdata/config/audiobooks/ folder (and restart the docker image) then scan again.

/Title/...
/Author/Title/...
/Author/Series/Title/...

Title can start with the publish year like so:
/1989 - Awesome Book/...
