What happened?

I used this tool to get an audiobook: https://github.com/PsychedelicPalimpsest/LibbyRip

It comes with a metadata.json file but when added to my library folder, for some reason ABS doesn't accept this and never adds the book officially to my ABS library

What did you expect to happen?

Book should be added to ABS

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Acquire book via LibbyRip tool
  2. Copy book folder into library folder
  3. Manual scan
  4. ???
  5. No book present in ABS

Audiobookshelf version

v2.33.1

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

That is not a valid ABS metatdata.json afaik. So it could be that ABS does not add it, because of this fact.
