 nyxholas | If you have never updated your server and are using Docker, make sure you have a Docker mount set up. Otherwise you will lose data because it is stored in the container instead of in your file system or Docker volumes (the container is deleted and replaced when you update) | 16:41:11 |
| nyxholas | There is a database migration in 2.3.x, so you will want to upgrade to 2.2.23, and then upgrade past that. More information here https://www.audiobookshelf.org/guides/migration-and-backups | 16:46:42 |
| nyxholas | I thought it worked because people would say "yay it's working", but yeah people haven't been very specific with sideloading | 17:19:05 |
|  andrias3604 changed their display name from Andrias to andrias3604. | 19:59:38 |

 r9 | I tried that already | 05:19:59 |
| r9 | The logs show basically nothing too, even set to debug | 05:29:17 |
| r9 | Redacted or Malformed Event | 05:47:15 |
| r9 | Scratch that, it's working again, after migrating the vm to another node in the cluster, and rebooting it. Odd. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ | 05:48:35 |

| nyxholas | Is it getting combined with another book? | 17:41:13 |
 .borts | "when it's ready" is the general response, there are a few features left to be outright added, a few features to be brought into parity with the Android release, and a few bugs to quash

|  sinkidonk changed their display name from Sinkidonk to sinkidonk. | 03:54:46 |
| .borts | Go to the edit screen of the book the author is attached to, add the 'corrected' name as an author there | 17:14:10 |
| .borts | * Go to the edit screen of the book the author is attached to, add the 'corrected' name as an author there and then remove the incorrect one | 17:14:26 |
| .borts | if you have a book without an author, you should be able to just add any arbitrary author name as text in the edit book screen
I had thought you meant you wanted to fix the name of an Author entry (which you can't just 'add' on that screen, authors only get created when they are first attached/matched with a book) | 17:15:54 |
| nyxholas | If the author is not attached to a book, you can just edit the book, enter the author's name in the field, and then save. You can also batch edit multiple authors by Ctrl+Clicking or Shift+Clicking | 17:18:05 |
| nyxholas | Once you've selected multiple books, there is a "batch edit" button in the upper right that lets you set the field or add a field (so if you want to add an author/tag/etc without over writing what is already there) | 17:22:46 |
| nyxholas | You can edit the JSON file, use extra metadata files, use the embedded metadata, or the file structure.

| nyxholas | Yes | 17:31:36 |
| nyxholas | You can store it with the media files by enabling the "store metadata with item" setting | 17:34:15 |
| nyxholas | The JSON files will not automatically be moved, but are written whenever there is a change to the book in the ABS database | 17:35:45 |
| nyxholas | It has to be metadata.json. There is a feature request to make that configurable | 17:41:08 |
| nyxholas | The best way to show support for open feature requests is to leave a "thumbs up" response on feature requests instead of just saying "+1" or similar https://www.audiobookshelf.org/faq#i-have-a-feature-request-how-should-i-bring-this-up | 17:42:15 |
| nyxholas | Is it a json file you already had or are you editing the ABS json file? | 17:44:12 |

| .borts | That reverse proxy is a new one to me (never heard of it, or referenced here in context of others using it)....is the RP running at the root of the IP/domain? ABS does not currently support being 'hosted' out of a subdirectory (e.g. yourabsserver.org/books) | 18:13:23 |
