Describe the issue

HLS streams created in /metadata/streams should be automatically cleaned up on server initialization. Since changing to using UUIDv4 in server v2.3.x the function is broken.

Steps to reproduce the issue

Audiobookshelf version

How are you running audiobookshelf?

Docker

If you need it now, this is already fixed in the edge tag on Docker. This tag includes everything up to the latest commit on GH, but you may encounter other bugs due to features or bug fixes still being worked on.

The latest tag is the latest release. If you are only using edge for a specific feature, you should go back to using latest after the next release.

Effective results have been achieved. Thank you very much to the developer, as I am not sure if manual cleaning will have an unknown effect on the original data, so I dare not manually delete it. Thank you again
