Describe the issue

ebooks that contain a # in the filename are unable to open and just stay at 0%

Steps to reproduce the issue

The error I get in console is"

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, stat '/ebooks/Michael Crichton/Jurassic Park/META-INF/container.xml'

Im not sure what that /META-INF/container.xml refers too. The path is /ebooks/Michael Crichton/Jurassic Park/Jurassic Park (Jurassic Park #1)/Jurassic Park (Jurassic Park #1) ().epub

I'm going through all my books and it seems any of them that have a # in the filename display this error and dont work.

Audiobookshelf version

v2.2.0 docker

How are you running audiobookshelf?
