However, for authors where I only have one of their books, Jellyfin seems to treat the book as if it has the name of the author.
So instead of either seeing a directory with the name of the author, or just seeing the book, it shows a book titled with the name of the author instead.
This shows how my library looks like:
This shows the metadata of the first book in the screenshot, where it uses the directory name (the author) instead of the file name (the book name):
Reproduction Steps
Launch Jellyfin
Create a directory for the Book library
In the directory, create a directory called Books
In the Books directory, create a directory for an author
In the author directory, add a book
Either wait or manually refresh the Book library
Observe that the library contains a book with the name of the author
