What happened?

I have noticed that in the last few weeks whenever I add new Audiobooks to the library folder the watcher picks up the new files, etc. and adds them into the database. If I then attempt to manually edit a book nothing seems to stick when I clikc either save or close. I sometimes get a blue banner saying that nothing needs to be updated even I do something a simple as mark or unmark a book as explicit as an example.

What did you expect to happen?

I expect to be able to edit any part of the book's metadata from the web GUI. Edit narrators, series, title, etc. and to then have those changes saved.

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Upload a book to the library folder.
  2. Wait for the watcher to pick up the new book files, cover, chapters, etc.
  3. Click on the newly added book from the GUI.
  4. Click edit and make an change.
  5. Hit save and/or save and close.

Audiobookshelf version

v2.26.1

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?

Chrome

Logs

There are logs for the container but I do not see any entries whenever I edit a book and click either of the save buttons.

Additional Notes

This a container from the "App Store" built into UNRAID. The repo in question is ghcr.io/advplyr/audiobookshelf.

This might be related to my CF tunnel. If I connect to the Web GIU from within UNRAID I can edit the files but not if I go through Cloudflare.
