Describe the issue

A library located at \\NAS\Media\Audio\Library is being rewritten as "E:\\NAS\\Media\\Audio\\Library"

path: "E:\\Media\\Media\\Audio\\Library - Audiobooks\\Hank The Cowdog\\Hank The Cowdog - 3 - It's a Dog's Life.m4b"

Resulting in scan errors:

Failed to getFileTimestampsWithIno [Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, stat 'E:\NAS\Media\Audio\Library - Audiobooks\Hank The Cowdog\Hank The Cowdog - 3 - It's a Dog's Life.m4b']
  errno: -4058,
  code: 'ENOENT',
  syscall: 'stat',
  path: "E:\\NAS\\Media\\Audio\\Library - Audiobooks\\Hank The Cowdog\\Hank The Cowdog - 3 - It's a Dog's Life.m4b"
}

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Add a new library from a UNC path.
  2. Scan library

Audiobookshelf version

Windows Build : v2.0.17

How are you running audiobookshelf?

Abs is resolving relative paths and I think I'd like to keep it that way for now. Wouldn't a UNC path be entered with double backslashes like \\NAS\Media\etc?

I think it could check for a double slash before it resolves it. I'm not sure I don't use any UNC paths so let me know.

Strange I typed it with two backslashes, but the github post formatting was removing the first one.
I added code markers so it will show up now.

It's basically taking a network SMB share and appending the drive letter that the exe file is located into the path.

No, I was just saying that I do have double back shashes. Git just made it look like I don't.

I downloaded the latest release v2.0.20 and it still fails to scan the library.
The strange thing is it lists all the files one by one and then says it can find that file because it cant be found.

It is adding the drive letter and still able to find that path?

@MrKuenning commented on GitHub (Jun 7, 2022):

For example:
I have a SMB share on my NAS with the path \\Media\Media\Audio\Library - Audiobooks
In that share, I have a folder called Hank The Cowdog with multiple books in it.

\\Media\Media\Audio\Library - Audiobooks\Hank The Cowdog\Hank The Cowdog - 1 - The Original Adventures.m4b
\\Media\Media\Audio\Library - Audiobooks\Hank The Cowdog\Hank The Cowdog - 3 - It's a Dog's Life.m4b
\\Media\Media\Audio\Library - Audiobooks\Hank The Cowdog\Hank The Cowdog - 7 - The Curse Of The Corncob.m4b

When I make a new library and point it at the Audiobook folder I get the following errors listed in the console:

Failed to getFileTimestampsWithIno [Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, stat 'E:\Media\Media\Audio\Library - Audiobooks\Hank The Cowdog\Hank The Cowdog - 1 - The Original Adventures.m4b'] {
  errno: -4058,
  code: 'ENOENT',
  syscall: 'stat',
  path: 'E:\\Media\\Media\\Audio\\Library - Audiobooks\\Hank The Cowdog\\Hank The Cowdog - 1 - The Original Adventures.m4b'
}
Failed to getFileTimestampsWithIno [Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, stat 'E:\Media\Media\Audio\Library - Audiobooks\Hank The Cowdog\Hank The Cowdog - 7 - The Curse Of The Incredible Priceless Corncob.m4b'] {
  errno: -4058,
  code: 'ENOENT',
  syscall: 'stat',
  path: 'E:\\Media\\Media\\Audio\\Library - Audiobooks\\Hank The Cowdog\\Hank The Cowdog - 7 - The Curse Of The  Corncob.m4b'
}
Failed to getFileTimestampsWithIno [Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, stat 'E:\Media\Media\Audio\Library - Audiobooks\Hank The Cowdog\Hank The Cowdog - 3 - It's a Dog's Life.m4b'] {
  errno: -4058,
  code: 'ENOENT',
  syscall: 'stat',
  path: "E:\\Media\\Media\\Audio\\Library - Audiobooks\\Hank The Cowdog\\Hank The Cowdog - 3 - It's a Dog's Life.m4b"
}

So it appends an "E" and then lists the files that are there and says they can't be found. Nothing shows up in the library.

@mikiher commented on GitHub (Aug 6, 2024):

I can confirm I can reproduce this.

This was reported again in a couple of recent discussions in audiobookshelf-windows (1, 2)

I believe this is due to posix path normalization - I think it works well for every Windows path except for UNC paths - those must start with a double backslash, and replacing it with a double slash is messing the path up, and I believe is causing path methods (like join, resolve, relaltive, and maybe others) to behave incorrectly.

I'm going to look into fixing this.
