What happened?

I use Musicbrainz Picard to tag series metadata for my ABS files. It works great, but ABS does not import multiple values for the series and series-part tags. For example, this release only imports one series

https://musicbrainz.org/release/32abda55-8656-42a1-832f-0f384c9a32fd

What did you expect to happen?

ABS should be able to import multiple series and series-part values from tags

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. tag release using this script with track and release relationship options turned on in Picard
$or($in(%releasetype%,audiobook),$in(%releasetype%,audio drama)

$setmulti(composer,$performer(spoken vocals))
$setmulti(series,%_releasegroup_series%)
$setmulti(series-part,%_releasegroup_seriesnumber%)
$setmulti(publisher,%label%)

$if(%writer%,
$setmulti(artist,$if2(%writer%),"\, ")
))

Audiobookshelf version

v2.19.5

Can you share the ffprobe output of one of the audio files you embedded in this way?

Seems to not be picking up the multiple tags, I've tried a number of different separators in Picard but ABS just parse them as a single series. For example, "Drama, Hercule Poirot, Whodunnits"

When I set the tag the same way I'm setting the artist tag, I get this relevant line from ffprobe.

"series": "Drama; Hercule Poirot; Whodunnits",

but ABS isn't splitting this into multiple series.

Apologies if I was not clear in my second comment, I re-tagged the files using a different method. Now I'm getting this from ffprobe

"series": "Drama; Hercule Poirot; Whodunnits",

but ABS is setting it as a single series called "Drama; Hercule Poirot; Whodunnits"
