On 123 Pan, Aliyun Drive, 115 Drive, Google Drive, OneDrive, GuangYa Pan, pCloud and Drime, if you picked a book’s own folder as the scan directory, older versions couldn’t recognize the book, so chapters without album tags became one book per file. Versions after 1.13.1 (133) fix this: a picked book folder, including “CD 2” or “1-500” subfolders inside it, becomes one book. After updating, books regroup by themselves with no need to re-pick folders; the book’s speed and intro/outro skip settings carry over, and listening progress stays.
On older versions: in the source’s “Scan Directories”, pick the folder one level above the book and let it rescan, or give the chapter files the same album tag (the only option on UPnP).
After updating, if a book’s name shows as a string of letters and numbers, browse once to where the book is in the source’s “Select Directories” so Primuse learns the folder name.
Also fixed: on a cold start, cloud-drive audiobooks no longer show as one book per file for a moment before merging.
Same-named subfolders under different scan directories (say, both books have a “Part 1”), and same-named folders side by side, no longer merge into one book.
UPnP / DLNA audiobooks used to merge into a single book; now they group by the server’s folders, or by album tags until the folders are known.
If you scan the whole drive from its root, files lying directly in the root still count as separate books; keep each book in its own folder.
