Describe the issue

I have several librariers (English, German) with books in them. I use collections. The following is happening:

  • 2 Collections were created in Library "English"
  • 1 Collection was created in Library "German"
  • When I want to add a book into a collection I see all three of them
  • Trying to add a Book from eg. "German" to a collection from "English" does not work ("Failed to add book to collection")

Expected behavior:

  • Preferred: Collection can save Books from any library - eg. for a "Read next" collection not depending on library
  • Not preferred: Only collections that are associated with the library are visible when adding to collection

Side Note / Wish List:

  • Private Collections for me and public collections that I can share for users and/or all

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. create at last 2 libraries
  2. create collections in a library
  3. try to add books from the other library to the collection

Audiobookshelf version

2.2.2

How are you running audiobookshelf?

Docker

@advplyr commented on GitHub (Nov 13, 2022):

Fixed in v2.2.3

Collections will only be shown for that specific library.

Playlists will be added in the future that will basically be collections for the user only.
