Delete Branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
Originally created by @itschrisonline on GitHub (Nov 22, 2021).
Is there any way there could be a option to prefer ID3 over folder structure or even setting the folder structure.
There are some book series that have multiple authors for different books so current folder structure doesn't work
@advplyr commented on GitHub (Nov 22, 2021):
Yes, setting the precedence for book details in the scanner is planned.
The way I handle multiple authors is they get a folder of their own.
e.g.
"John Smith, Adam Smith"
or if you prefer Last, First
"Smith, John & Smith, Adam"
Audiobookshelf will parse out those authors and you can filter by individual authors.
If you have your audiobook duplicated and put in each author folder then you will end up with 2 of the same audiobook in audiobookshelf regardless of precedence.
@itschrisonline commented on GitHub (Nov 23, 2021):
The issues is when its the same series but different authors per book. this is my current structure for series.
Series/Track - Author(s) - (Series #Track) - Book
the first track is to keep order and if the series is apart of a larger universe

I see what you mean now. Each of those volumes are folders that contain the audiobook?
@itschrisonline commented on GitHub (Nov 23, 2021):
Yes
@advplyr commented on GitHub (Nov 26, 2021):
I just pushed
v1.6.28which is using the new scanner (v5)I setup an audiobook using the same structure as you shared and enabled the following scan options:
The ID3 tags in the first audio file will are used for details as shown in docs: https://www.audiobookshelf.org/docs/#metadata
You can test this without removing audiobooks or resetting your library by pressing the re-scan button.
Ideally in the future your library set-up won't require adjusting settings, but I'm still not sure which way to go. In my library the ID3 tags are not very accurate, so I prefer to use the folder names.
