What happened?

I have a few books by J.N. Chaney in ABS. Quick match, or match of any kind really, is putting them all under a single entry for the most part. But I have a book now that insists
J. N. Chaney is different from J.N. Chaney

What did you expect to happen?

It should know that the extra spaces can be ignored since the author already exists with a properly matched profile and ASIN.

Steps to reproduce the issue

Have multiple books by same author
Find quickmatch data that has same author with extra spaces between initials
duplicate author entries - broken grouping.
Infinite Crown B09VRZWGZ5 = correctly matched author entry in ABS
Dawn of Empire 1774244942 = new entry
The Messenger 1774241757 = another new entry

Additional Notes

This is obviously just 1 author, but if it's a whitespace/regex bug may affect others too.
In this case these books all have 2 authors, the other author matches fine every time so far.
Cover provider is set to Audible.com
Libraries/Audiobooks/Details Metadata provider is set to Audible.com
Scanner is set to
1-folder structure
2-audio file meta tags OR ebook metadata
3-Audiobookshefl metadata file

All others disabled.
Directory Structure: {author}/{title} {asin}
Originally I thought it was my request application putting the file into a poorly named author folder, but these books are dual authored and it had put them in the other authors name on the filesystem so it's just the ABS metadata that's getting matched and then not accounting for the different ways JN appears.
Item Metadata Utils is all defaults, I've never changed anything in here.

Originally created by @Bishop-trevorstuart on GitHub (Feb 6, 2026). ### What happened? I have a few books by J.N. Chaney in ABS. Quick match, or match of any kind really, is putting them all under a single entry for the most part. But I have a book now that insists J. N. Chaney is different from J.N. Chaney ### What did you expect to happen? It should know that the extra spaces can be ignored since the author already exists with a properly matched profile and ASIN. ### Steps to reproduce the issue 1. Have multiple books by same author 2. Find quickmatch data that has same author with extra spaces between initials 3. duplicate author entries - broken grouping. Infinite Crown B09VRZWGZ5 = correctly matched author entry in ABS Dawn of Empire 1774244942 = new entry The Messenger 1774241757 = another new entry ### Audiobookshelf version v2.32.1 ### How are you running audiobookshelf?

As the Realm grows around a Kingsport that is now more massive than any human creation, Dash will find common cause with a race who lurk in the shadows, well beyond the edge of known human space. With ships of a new design, the Realm will turn outward, striking into territory long held by the Deepers and their unholy creatures, wrapped in technology as old as the stars themselves. But the universe is shrinking, thanks to Realm scientists and the efforts of Kai and his brethren, who find that secrets still remain in the hidden places where humans store memory and history - and weapons. Pursuing Pavel Hu into the darkness, Dash finds the truth about human history, and just what it means to end a war that has raged since before Earth was civilized, and when the sun itself was young. The Deepers have nowhere to go but ahead, and in their way is the most powerful fleet ever assembled.

In this case these books all have 2 authors, the other author matches fine every time so far. Cover provider is set to Audible.com Libraries/Audiobooks/Details Metadata provider is set to Audible.com Scanner is set to 1-folder structure 2-audio file meta tags OR ebook metadata 3-Audiobookshefl metadata file - All others disabled. Directory Structure: {author}/{title} {asin} - Originally I thought it was my request application putting the file into a poorly named author folder, but these books are dual authored and it had put them in the other authors name on the filesystem so it's just the ABS metadata that's getting matched and then not accounting for the different ways JN appears. Item Metadata Utils is all defaults, I've never changed anything in here.
