Type of Enhancement

None

Describe the Feature/Enhancement

When performing a search with series results, include the book authors in the series.books[].media.metadata dictionary.

Why would this be helpful?

When searching for a series via the API, no author information is included in the books array for the series. The property is there but it's always an empty array. It would be helpful to not have to do a secondary query to the specific item to get the author.

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

{
  "book": [],
  "series": [
    {
      "series": {
        "media:" {
          "metadata": {
            "authors": [
              "advplyr"
            ]
          }
        }
      }
    }
  ]
}

Audiobookshelf Server Version

v2.20.0

Current Implementation (Screenshot)

{
  "book": [],
  "series": [
    {
      "series": {
        "media:" {
          "metadata": {
            "authors": []
          }
        }
      }
    }
  ]
