What happened?

After pulling the latest docker image for audiobookshelf and started it with mapped config and metadata, several cover images are now broken.
Another thing I noticed is that when I select details on an item, still shows as "invalid cover", however when I click edit - the good (working) cover is visible

Can you try clearing the cache on the server settings page?

Do you get anything in the browser network tab, such as 404?

yes, I get 404 not found when scrolling the library and came across the ones with the missing cover issue

I got this issue too. This also seems to crash the Android app. For me, repulling the metadata seems to have helped.

I started to do a bulk with quick match - but some got wrongly classified and I have too many with this problem to risk doing bulk :(
hoping somehow it's fixable since the correct folder shows up when doing the edit (as per one of the screenshots)

PS: or perhaps you meant another thing with repulling the metadata?

sorry for the delay in reply. Yes, I could play them.
