Describe the issue

What happened: When there are two .m4b files (e.g. book.part1.m4b and book.part2.m4b) the characters are only extracted from book.part1.m4b and are ignored from book.part2.m4b.

In the below example, chapters 1-27 come from WoT 05 - The Fires of Heaven p1.2.m4b while nothing is shown from WoT 05 - The Fires of Heaven p2.2.m4b.

Did you recently add that audiobook? A few versions ago support was added to pull in chapters from multi-track audiobooks

Ah that solved it! You are correct, these were old books. I deleted them and readded them and it solved the problem. Thank you!
