When I change a detail in an audiobook, (such as genre, tags, narrator, publisher, language etc) for instance if i correct a mispelt name of a publisher, then even though there are no other books with that mispelt publishers name in my library, the mispelt name remains in the pulldown list.

What did you expect to happen?

if i change a detail of an audiobook (such as genre, tags, narrator, publisher, language etc) and there are no other audiobooks with that detail it should be removed from the list

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Add an Audiobook with a mispelt name in any of the details
  2. Correct the name and save
  3. Look at the list, the original incorrect detail will still be there but when you go into it as no books will be shown as none have that detail

Building the filter list is a slow operation that can take multiple seconds. (More details in https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf/pull/3594)
