Describe the issue

"Invalid cover" errors for audiobook covers pulled from Audible and iTunes matched metadata after updating from 2.12 to 2.14.

Have had to manually re-match the metadata to restore the covers.

Covers manually added as jpg were not affected and loaded normally.

  1. Update docker by following documentation for updating a docker compose installation (v2.9).
  2. Album covers missing.

Audiobookshelf version

v2.14

How are you running audiobookshelf?

At first thought this seems like an issue with your docket setup. The /metadata folder that stores those covers must have been removed or the permissions changed or you changed the location of that folder.
