Describe the issue

Attempted to download book which has been merged (but library has not been rescanned) causes the Android app to crash when attempting to download the book.
Download (of the same book) then behaves as expected after scanning the library.

Expected behavior: Some sort of warning/popup to say the file is missing or library needs to be rescanned.

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Turn off watcher
  2. Merge book to M4B on ABS
  3. Do not rescan directory
    After merge
    File system
  4. Download book on Android (v0.9.57-beta)
  5. Android app crashes, download manager gives notifications that all audio files failed to download (the cover was successfully downloaded)

Audiobookshelf version

v2.2.0

How are you running audiobookshelf?

Docker
