It wouldn't have been an issue since I'm not using FantLab.ru but this is causing me to wait 2-3 minutes every time I'm searching for book covers with "All" providers selected.

What did you expect to happen?

It seems that FantLab.ru has been blocked for Ukrainian users since the Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

To fix that you need to either remove the FantLab.ru metadata provider entirely or change it to .org mirror.

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Use a Ukrainian VPN address
  2. Try to load the book cover with the "All" or "FantLab.ru" metadata provider selected

Audiobookshelf version

v2.9.0

How are you running audiobookshelf?

Docker

What OS is your Audiobookshelf server hosted from?

If the issue is being seen in the UI, what browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Are there any server logs indicating a connection timeout or unreachable that can be used?

I'm not sure if we can do anything more than set a reasonable timeout which is requested here https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf/issues/3000

As for the "All" option causing issues with this @nichwall put in https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf/issues/3005 for that
