Describe the issue

I renamed my Library and after that all my matched books lost their meta data and fellback to the default data when I first imported them. So I had to go through and manually add them again and double check so that the narrator was correct.
I have metadata / cover stored in the docker metadata, not with the book.

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Rename Library.
  2. Lost all matches

Audiobookshelf version

2.4.3

How are you running audiobookshelf?

Docker

I don't think renaming the library caused whatever you experienced. I tested just to be sure but it's just updating a column on in the libraries table of the db and doesn't affect anything else. I'm glad you got it resolved
