What happened?

Summary

After updating Audiobookshelf to v2.32, newly added audiobooks are mostly not detected during a manual library scan and therefore do not appear in the UI. Only about ~10% of the new audiobooks are added; the rest are ignored as if they do not exist. Rolling back to v2.31 makes Audiobookshelf detect and list all of them again.

Environment

  • Audiobookshelf versions:
  • Working: v2.31
  • Broken: v2.32
  • Host: Proxmox VE
  • Runtime: LXC container
  • Container OS: Debian 13
  • Storage type: SMB/CIFS mount
  • Scan type: Manual scan
  • Library type: Audiobooks

What did you expect to happen?

All newly added audiobooks on the SMB-backed library path should be detected during the manual scan and appear in the UI.

Actual Behavior

Most newly added audiobooks are not detected and do not appear in the library after the manual scan. Only about ~10% are added; the rest are ignored as if the folders/files are not present.

What I Tried

Renamed audiobook folders (no improvement).
Re-ran manual scan multiple times (no improvement).
Rollback to v2.31 → all previously missing audiobooks were detected and listed correctly.

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Run Audiobookshelf v2.31 and verify that new audiobooks are detected normally.
  2. Update Audiobookshelf to v2.32.
  3. Add multiple new audiobooks into the existing Audiobooks library directory located on an SMB share.
  4. Trigger a manual library scan.
  5. Check whether the new audiobooks appear in the library.

Audiobookshelf version

2.32

How are you running audiobookshelf?

Debian/PPA

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?

None

Logs


Additional Notes

I’m currently traveling and cannot provide logs or detailed configuration right now. If you tell me which logs/settings you need (e.g., container logs, scanner logs, SMB mount options, library scan output), I can provide them once I’m back.

We would need scan logs.

Is there any pattern as to what books are not added, such as all from one author or something?

Iĺl be back in a few Days, i will deliver the Logs then.
First i think that was a Problem with "Umlaute" in German Ü / Ö because most of them was in the title like "ungekürzt"
but i think this wasn´t the Problem.
Some of the books was identifyt correct with "Umlaute"
It was from diffrent Authors and no pattern in with in or in the title.

Attached are the logs. I restored my backup of Audiobookshelf v2.32 to reproduce the issue.

Examples of audiobooks that do not show up in scans and were not added are from the following authors:

Daniel Suarez

Ramez Naam

Patrick Lee

Example directories:

\Patrick Lee\Patrick Lee - Das Signal

Paths:

Path inside the LXC container (actual filesystem path):
/media/Hörbücher/Patrick Lee/Patrick Lee - Das Signal#

Library path configured in Audiobookshelf (scan root):
/media/Hörbücher

After updating my existing instance from v2.31 to v2.32.1, I added three audiobooks from the same author. In that case, the scan worked as expected and Audiobookshelf detected and added those titles successfully.

If I purchase and add more audiobooks and the issue occurs again, I will report back here with additional examples and updated logs.

Since updating to version 2.32.1, the error no longer occurs.
