Emby 4.9 Ebook reader not working

[DarkStar1977 119]

Hi Emby team.

I've recently upgraded to v4.9 stable and wanted to try the ebook reader feature.

My configuration has 2 libraries for books:

- Comics

- Books

Comics are mainly PDF. CBR and CBZ and the "Play Button" appears on each one:

Books are mainly PDF, EPUB, MOBI and the "Play Button" does not appear in any of my +8000 books:

Both libraries have the exact same configuration so my guess is that ebook reader does not work on more than one library.

For the record, after the upgrade and seeing this issue, I've run a complete Libraries Scan (all libraries)

Can u please review it ?

Thanks

HI, try refreshing the metadata on those titles and see if that helps.

I've already done that, and nothing happens.
