Describe the issue

I tried to insert the metadata into different types of audio files using the 'Embed Metadata Tool'. Nothing changed in the file, nevertheless the tool reported a success and also in the log you can find the following entry:

INFO
[AudioMetadataManager] Starting metadata embed task Embedding metadata in audiobook "Test".
2023-05-11 16:27:14
INFO
[AudioMetadataManager] Successfully tagged audio file "/mnt/Test.mp3".
2023-05-11 16:27:14
DEBUG
[AudioMetadataManager] Task finished and no tasks remain in queue

However, I forgot to give ABS write permissions for the corresponding folder, so the Embed Metadata tool could not work at all. Nevertheless there is a positive feedback. This made it very difficult for me to find the error.

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Change the Metadata of an mp3 or m4b file
  2. In the book management click on tools -> quick embed

Audiobookshelf version

2.2.20

How are you running audiobookshelf?

Debian/PPA

I am also experiencing this same issue running as docker on Windows. My container should have access to write to the files, so I'm not sure why nothing is updating on a successful response.
