Describe the issue

I have "Prefer audio metadata" enabled, but scanned chapters of track-split books are getting their chapter names from filenames instead of from the title tag.

I have audiobooks which used the embedded Title tag in ABS. Then I re-scanned an individual audiobook and the chapter names were replaced with the tracks' filenames.

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Enable "Prefer audio metadata"
  2. Re-Scan track-split audiobook

Audiobookshelf version

v2.3.3

How are you running audiobookshelf?

Docker

Do these audio files also have embedded chapters?

Is this still an issue on v2.7.0? That setting was removed and the scanner was rewritten
