None

Describe the Feature/Enhancement

More detailed error messages when a metadta provider is throwing an error message.

Issue is related to https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf/issues/4013 which was determined to be a metadata provider issue.

Why would this be helpful?

Putting a generic "No Match" when the metadata provider is throwing a detailed exception and a error 500 is not helpful to the administrator. The administrator has to dig through logs to find the root cause.
