Type of Enhancement

Web Interface/Frontend

Describe the Feature/Enhancement

Detecting duplicate titles (specifically duplicate editions) of books. If ABS detects that two (or more) books in a library have the same title and metadata/length it only lists one of the copies. Could have a separate menu in the library section that says duplicates detected and allows you to renew them back in to your library for false detection

Why would this be helpful?

Would be nice for having multiple download locations or in my specific niche circumstance we have a shared SMB that persistently updates the two libraries and we both have some shared titles

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

I don’t know if this needs a doodle

Audiobookshelf Server Version

v 2.32.1

Current Implementation (Screenshot)
