Originally created by @MikeBishop on GitHub (Nov 29, 2023).

Describe the issue

When books are in multiple overlapping series (e.g. because of subseries) and a book is completed, the query for finding the "next" book in the series finds the next book in each series. That's correct. However, if that next book is also in both series, it will find the same book twice. This results in the same book being listed twice in the Continue Series list:

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Select two books and add them to the same series in the same order
  2. Mark the first book as Finished
  3. Go to Home view and find the Continue Series row

Audiobookshelf version

2.6.0

How are you running audiobookshelf?

Docker

Technically it is correct through, right? What would you expect to see there?

I would expect the last step of the query to select only unique books. (Either series ordering would be reasonable; I wouldn't particularly care which displayed.)

That wouldn't be the expectation for me. I would expect to see what the next book up is in the series. I'll change this to a feature request for now

+1 would like to see this feature implemented. I was confused as well until I realized what was happening. I have a number of series which are part of larger sagas and tag books as part of each. It would be nice if in the case of two series overlapping for their "next" book it showed as a single card.

+1 a request for this. I don't think the book showing up twice is particularly intuitive or attractive.

I think this could make more sense if the UI was set up to show each series you've been reading, and then show the next book under that series. For example

  • "The Heirs of Saint Camber" -> "The Bastard Prince (3)"
  • "Deryni Chronology" -> "The Bastard Prince (2.3)"

Here's a rather awful mockup

But when it's just a flat list of books that are 'up next' in an unstated series, it's more confusing than helpful.

So a potential counterpoint suggestion to this issue would be to add the series names above each book. This would give you the context of the larger/parent series, as well as the sub-series (perhaps what you have in mind @advplyr ?) though it does kind of break style with the rest of the book UI to add in a new header or similar here.
