[Bug]: Match Books overwrites data #675

Closed kymahi closed 1 year ago

kymahi commented 2 years ago

Describe the issue

Despite the assurance on Library Settings page, Match Books overwrites data, specifically, in this case, Authors. I overwrote the authors on some books due to issue #667 (I inserted the individual authors and deleted the multiple authors combined into one author tag). After clicking Match Books, it overwrites the author fixes I made and reinserted the multiple authors as a single author tag.

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Match a book with multiple authors
  2. Observe multiple authors as a single author tag as described in issue #667
  3. Add each author in the combined tag as their own author tag
  4. Remove the combined author tag
  5. Go to Settings > Libraries
  6. Match Books on the library with the book you just modified
  7. Observe the single author tags are removed and the combined multi-author tag has returned

Audiobookshelf version

Do you have the server setting enabled to store metadata in your library item folders?

No it is off

I looked into this and it seems to only be possible to overwrite the authors if it is already set if you have this setting enabled. image

Do you have the setting "Prefer matched metdata" toggled on?
