What happened?

When trying to add Audiobookshelf to Music Assistant, I received an error message that an invalid value was returned by the API.

https://github.com/music-assistant/support/issues/4056 was submitted by another user, but documents the error message. The API is returning the value audiobook for the library icon instead of audiobookshelf.

What did you expect to happen?

Expected the API to return one of the values listed in the documentation.

Steps to reproduce the issue

The icons were updated in commit 6b8d71c, but the values stored in the database for existing installations were not updated. The commit includes some code to remap the icons on the fly, but that is not being done for the API response.

The workaround was to reselect the icon in the library configuration and save it, which updates the icon value in the library table to the expected audiobookshelf. This has a pretty low impact, only affecting users with ABS installations that predate this change, but this can be permanently mitigated with a database migration that remaps the values.

Audiobookshelf version

v2.3.0

Additional Notes

#2993 is a request to support admin uploaded icons. If done, this should be noted as a breaking change.

FYI the documentation at https://api.audiobookshelf.org/ is about 2 years out of date. There is a notice at the top but it is easy to miss.
