Plex shows all m4b files as a single album #17

First off, thanks for this guide, it's great.

I've got a library of about 1,000 audiobooks, all in single m4b files (with the exception of a few that are broken up). They all reside in an 'audiobooks' folder. When I create the library, Plex lumps them under "Various Artists" in a single album with each book as a track. Have you run in to this? Thanks.

In the guide, I have you run my action script to move the tagged .m4b files into the correct folder structure: /audiobooks/Author/Book1/book1.m4b If you don't have the books in their own folder plex thinks all the tracks are for the same album. This is because Plex supports Music libraries, so the formatting must match eg. /music/artist/album/track1.mp3.
