Describe the issue

Importing books that have spaces in the name fail to be imported and no metadata is created. Forcing a scan doesn't fix it and errors are shown in the logs. Renaming the directory in CLI to have NO whitespace and rerunning the scan succeeds.
LOG Excerpt:

Renaming the book directory to "Engineer" and rerunning the scan succeeds with no errors in the log.

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Import book with spaces in Title, notice it doesn't appear in the bookshelf
  2. The issue doesn't always happen, for example importing "The Skinner" had no issues. Repeatedly attempting to import "The Engineer ReConditioned" failed over and over - perhaps its multiple spaces or maybe the camel case title.

Audiobookshelf version

2.7.1 UPDATED

How are you running audiobookshelf?

It's most likely a coincidence that removing the space fixed the issue for you. Can you double check the audiobookshelf version you are running because 4.7.1 is not a valid version.

When you are importing a book are you doing this with the uploader in the web client or in your file system directly?

Sorry - fingerpokin problem - version is 2.7.1

Upload is being done through Web interface (drag and drop of a directory - haven't seen the issue with a lone file), Brave browser, switching between Audible.com and google.com for metadata fetch.
I did try moving the folder around manually from CLI on the filesystem and then running a scan - same failure.

This is an issue with CIFS not persisting inode values. Same as #2509
