Describe the issue

The ID3 tags for my audio files aren't being used to populate their chapter names. Instead, the file name is always used. The "prefer audio metadata" setting is enabled. I have verified that the chapter names are present using ffprobe. I have tried re-scanning and clearing the entire library several times.

How the chapter titles appear:
