Describe the issue

ABS v2.2.6
OS Ubuntu 22.04
Installed via deb package - no PPA setup

Ebook reader does not find ebooks located in library root folder.

Workaround: Add ebooks to a folder with the same name (including file extension) as ebook.

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Install ABS from deb package.
  2. Enable experimental features.
  3. Create directory to be used as library root - i.e. library root
  4. Add ebook file to the library root directory
  5. Add library root directory to ABS
  6. Goto library and select ebook
  7. Click read

Expected result: ebook will be displayed in ebook reader screen
Actual result: nothing is displayed in the ebook reader screen. The browser console shows a 401 error because the server is looking for the file in a directory with the same name as the file.

Workaround: Add ebooks to a folder with the same name (including file extension) as ebook.
