Type of Enhancement

Server Backend

Describe the Feature/Enhancement

Write updated metadata back into epub files.

Why would this be helpful?

As soon as I download the epub from abs (say on an ebook reader) it still gets the old embedded metadata as the embedded metadata isn't updated.

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

"Embed Metadata" like the one used for audiobooks.

Audiobookshelf Server Version

2.15.1

Yeah, ABS doesn't do any modifications to any ebook files. Not sure if that is planned due to there being so many weird edge cases with ebook formats and there already being other tools which have good ebook support like Calibre and Kavita.
