What happened?

After the v2.18.0 update that added subdirectory support, ABS defaults to it being turned on for existing installs.

Because it is defaulting on, it is causing problems with setups that are configured for a specific path.

What did you expect to happen?

Not to be forced into using subdirectories after the update

Steps to reproduce the issue

Update to v2.18.0

Audiobookshelf version

v2.18.0

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?

None

Logs
