Describe the issue

I have a folder for a bookseries (audioplays) I added about 50 audiobooks (all *.m4b) they are not recognized when I scan for new content.
the structure:
//

When i search for new content, audiobookshelf edds only 3 books per partial-scan. Full-Scan recognize only the audiobooks already listed in audiobookshelf. It is annoying to scann for example for 100 new books.

the Books are located in a Samba Mount. the docker container is seeing all new files

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. goto settings
  2. select librarys
  3. select the library you would scan
  4. kilck the tree dots
  5. select partial-scan
  6. wait til the scan is completet
  7. klick on audiobookshelf on the top
  8. change into series
  9. search for the series you have added now books
  10. only 3 +/- books are added.

Audiobookshelf version

2.3.3

How are you running audiobookshelf?

Docker

Can you share your directory structure? I just see //

Can you check the docker logs to see if there are any errors during the scan?

author / series / book2
author / series / book3
