Describe the issue

Brand new install on Docker, I am probably doing something wrong. Install works, and it starts scanning my library, but it very quickly crashes. Below is the error included in the Crash Log:

[Server] Unhandled rejection: TypeError [ERR_INVALID_ARG_VALUE]: The argument 'buffer' is empty and cannot be written. Received , promise: Promise {

Related to https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf/issues/2750

Edit: Whoops, that issue is actually about CBR/CBZ. Someone mentioned getting this same error with epub but can't find where that was...

Can you share the 2,000 Mules epub with me in a Discord DM or via email to dev@advplyr.com for testing?

This was a bad epub file but we should be catching the errors thrown by node stream zip library.
