Describe the issue

If I have Issues 1-6 of a comic book in the same folder I am able to view the first issue but not the others.

I have the following directory structure:
comics/Dynamite/Red Sonja/Unchained
├── Red Sonja Unchained 01 (of 04) (2013).cbr
├── Red Sonja Unchained 02 (of 04) (2013) (Digital).cbr
└── Red Sonja Unchained 03 (of 04) (2013) (Digital) .cbr

ABR recognizes the collection of Unchained and provides me options to download each issue but when I click the read button I can only view the first issue.

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Create a Library for Comic books
  2. Scan Library of Comics with the structure of series containing individual issues
  3. Series are recognized as a a single entity containing the issues as 'Library Files'
  4. Attempt to view any other than the first issue.

Audiobookshelf version

v2.2.22

How are you running audiobookshelf?

Docker

Books have to follow the folder structure https://www.audiobookshelf.org/docs#book-directory-structure

What you are seeing is all of the comic books being picked up as the same book when they should be separate. This is mentioned in the FAQ https://www.audiobookshelf.org/docs#faq
