Describe the issue

Some books in Audible have the series formatted as "Series #Book 1". When matching with audiobookshelf, this gets turned into a series called "Series #Book 1", with no sequence number for the book. It should be formatted to "Series", book number 1. For example, the Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini. Books 2-4 get correctly placed in "The Inheritance Cycle" with the correct sequence number. Book 1, Eragon, gets placed into a separate series called "Inheritance Cycle #Book 1".

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Match any library item that has this issue in the audible database.

Audiobookshelf version

v2.2.11

How are you running audiobookshelf?

Docker

Ah yeah I see. This appears to be just bad formatting on Audibles side but we can add an additional check in AudibleProvider .jsto clean that up.
