Albums art bug when you have multiple versions of an audio book with different narrators

Plex Media Server Metadata & Adding Files
1

I have my audio books in Plex, and I have discovered a bug. I have two versions of an audio book read by different people, each with different cover art. The metadata is as follows:

Artist: J.K. Rowling
Album: Harry Potter [03] and the Prisoner of Azkaban
Composer [Narrator]: Stephen Fry
Sort Album: Harry Potter [03] and the Prisoner of Azkaban (Fry)

Artist: J.K. Rowling
Album: Harry Potter [03] and the Prisoner of Azkaban
Composer [Narrator]: Jim Dale
Sort Album: Harry Potter [03] and the Prisoner of Azkaban (Dale)

These two albums show up separately (rather than being merged), thanks to the ‘Sort Album’ which differs for each. Unfortunately, the cover art for each album, which is different for each, is showing up the same for both.

Is there anyway to fix this?

are each a single file? what sort of file?

Both audio books are made up with multiple MP3s. I’m using Prologue on iOS.

if you edit the album that is wrong does it have the embedded album art as a poster option?

Ok, I have done some testing by removing the books from my library, scanning for changes, then adding them back, and scanning for changes. As far as I can tell the first books that is scanned is getting both album art covers, but is defaulting to using the art for the second book. (If I edit the “album” in my Plex library, the covers for both versions are there, when only the first one should be.) It seems that the second book is being scanned normally and is displaying its own cover correctly.

I should stress here that both albums are only using embedded metadata - all metadata and the cover art is embedded. I am not getting anything via a metadata agent.

So to summarise, the first book scanned (at least I assume it is scanned first) has bother covers added to it, and it defaults to displaying the cover for the second book. The second book displays the art for the second book correctly.
