What happened?

When I attempt to upload a book format that already has a different format of the same book in the library, a toast message appears stating: Filepath "/[path]/[author]/[book]" already exists on server

What did you expect to happen?

I expected the book to be added as another format option to the original upload.

Steps to reproduce the issue

Pick a book you already have in a library (e.g. mp3)
upload a different format of the same book (e.g. epub)

Audiobookshelf version

v2.17.5

How are you running audiobookshelf?

Docker

What OS is your Audiobookshelf server hosted from?

Linux

If the issue is being seen in the UI, what browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Firefox

Multiple audio formats for the same book are not supported. https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf/issues/2315
