What happened?

When trying to upload a new m4b audiobook using Brave browser on Linux it fails every time.
I tried Brave version 1.77.97 installed using the aur "brave-bin" package.
The upload did work using Firefox on Linux/Windows, Brave on Windows and Edge on Windows.

There is no log output regarding this in the "Logs" section in audiobookshelf itself.

What did you expect to happen?

The upload should succeed.

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Try to upload a audiobook using Brave 1.77.97 on Linux

Audiobookshelf version

2.20.0

How are you running audiobookshelf?

Docker

What OS is your Audiobookshelf server hosted from?

Linux

If the issue is being seen in the UI, what browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Other (list in "Additional Notes" box)

Please check the following:

  1. If you see a "Socket disconnected/connected" message when uploading, please proceed to step 2. If not, proceed to step 3 and then return to step 2 if step 3 does not resolve the issue.

  2. Check for a server crash.
    Please go to your logs directory in ABS (the actual directory, not via the web interface) and locate the logs folder, which is under your metadata folder. Inside, you should find a file named crash_log. If not (and you tried step 3), please report back.

  3. Can you check the following items:

    1. Try disabling Shield if it is active for the site.
    2. Check if a browser extension is blocking something.
    3. Check if you are receiving CORS messages in the networktab.

It's not a server crash. There is no crash log and I'm getting a "Opps, something went wrong" popup.

Something new I encountered while poking around is the tab "crashing" (idk if that's the correct term) with: RESULT_CODE_KILLED_BAD_MESSAGE.

Might be related, but I'm not sure.

Here's what I tried so far

  1. Disable Shield: no change
  2. Use private window without extensions: no change
  3. Use private windows AND disable Shield: no change

I'm not sure what to look for in the network tab. I'm no web developer. Could you explain what exactly you need?

At what point in the upload does it fail with Brave on Linux? Immediately, partway through, or after a specific amount of time. Are you able to test with other files (smaller or larger) to see if the same behavior happens?

The moment I click the "Upload" button it errors out with the behaviour mentioned above.

  1. Click "Choose files"
  2. Select book to upload
  3. Click "Upload"

It immediately fails after 3.

While testing some things I found this:

Maybe the file selection portal for brave doesn't return the right file path?

Are you experiencing similar problems on other websites while using the Brave browser?

This sounds like a Linux issue, especially since it shows the "Oops" dialog you described. That dialog usually comes from the operating system.

Not yet, but I updated my system, including Brave, yesterday. Maybe something will come up in the next few days.
I agree that a issue with brave is the most likely solution.
I'll leave it up to you guys to close this issue or not. I'm fine with using another browser to upload for now. But I think ABS should fail gracefully when the upload process fails.

If this only happens for ABS, it might be something that ABS does with uploading. So, if advplyr sees this, in my opinion, this should be left open.

@Schmiggolas commented on GitHub (Apr 16, 2025):

Okay I think this is not ABS related.
The file I tried to upload is in a directory which I have synced using the Nextcloud desktop app.
I tried uploading that file to gdrive and it also failed.
I then copied the file to another directory outside of the nextcloud synced directories and suddenly the upload works both for gdrive and ABS.
So it seems that the file picker dialog used by Brave on Linux has some kind of issue with cloud synced files or something.

I'll close this, since it's now confirmed this is not related to ABS.
Thank you for you time anyways.
