Overview

AudioBookshelf

AudioBookshelf is a self-hosted audiobook server for managing and playing your audiobooks.

Currently in Beta - Free & open source Android/iOS app is in development

Folder Structures Supported:

/Title/...
/Author/Title/...
/Author/Series/Title/...

Title can start with the publish year like so:
/1989 - Awesome Book/...

There is still a lot to do:

Adding new audiobooks require pressing Scan button again (on settings page)
Matching is still manual - should auto-match when exact title and author with cover image is found
Support different views to see more details of each audiobook
Add ability to add/manage additional accounts with varying access levels
Then comes the mobile app..

Installation

Built to run in Docker for now (also on Unraid server Community Apps)

docker run -d -p 1337:80 -v /audiobooks:/audiobooks -v /config:/config -v /metadata:/metadata --name audiobookshelf --rm advplyr/audiobookshelf

Request: consolidate collections in Library View

Similar to how plex allows collections to be grouped together when viewing titles(like the Kung Fu Panda series in the image below), it would be nice to be able to do the same here. e.

“Empty” library after upgrade to 2.0.0

Upgraded to latest, and now my library in the web app (and iOS) shows up as empty even though the scanner says “12 items added”.

the metadata scan log seems reasonable enough; and the server logs seem fine too:

Basic SSO support (openid connect)
I started adding sso support via passport js yesterday. Users are generated as guests on the fly, if they don't exist. There are a couple of things missing, like:

~hiding the sso button in the web ui if sso is not configured. But as it was my first time looking into vue today, it was out of scope for now.~

~being able to change the password, if the user was generated via sso access~ create a flow for users logging in for the first time via sso with the ability to choose username and/or password

add the ability for existing users to link their "sso account"

[Bug]: Server download URL returning 404
Describe the issue

When trying to click the "download" button on a track on the app, a 404 is returned. This is causing crashes in the android app when trying to download local to the phone. Oddly, streaming works fine.

result: Cannot GET /s/item/li_6vmhwv7q2tru6rxiei/Pachinko-Part01.mp3

Steps to reproduce the issue

Use docker hosted audiobookshelf leveraging NFS storage

Scan library files

Open a book and try to download a single file from the book

Receive a 404

Enhancement: Readlist and/or favorites (Collections)

It would be nice to be able to add books to a read list(s). I don't know if it makes sense to have both read lists and favorites but they would work essentially the same way, a button to toggle between added/not added. I don't know if I personally would benefit from multiple lists but some users may want the ability to create and name multiple lists which books can be added to. To take things a step further having the option to make lists public (shared with other users on the server) and private (only visible to the user who created it) would be really great.

Sorry lots to digest here, I was just thinking about what was missing from the home page and realized that I was wanting a way to highlight books of interest from my library.

[Enhancement] Embed metadata in audio files & scan OPF file metadata

I'm using Calibre to fetch metadata from online datasources (Amazon and Google in the first place). For it's internal logic it creates .opf files for backup/restore purposes, it would be great having the feature to embed these metadata into audio files (eg mp3tag) from .opf files.

With a wider perspective: embed metadata from an external datasource (online? file?) into the audio files

Change: support more architectures in Dockerfile

Hi, I wanted to run AudioBookShelf on my raspberry pi, but since jrottenberg/ffmpeg only offers x64 images it wasn't possible.

I've changed the Dockerfile to install ffmpeg rather than copy it from an existing image, this way the image can be built for any platform that is supported by node:12-alpine (which is a lot).

I've tested this and the image is running fine on my RPi4. The only problem I've encountered was with ziplib not being available during server build phase, but the same problem is present when building the x64 version, so I guess it's fine ¯\(ツ)/¯

[Bug]: Unable to create library correctly
Describe the issue

the path to the library folder listing content is unmatched, seems it cached outdated folder tree data

Steps to reproduce the issue

. after I refreshed the web page, cleaned cached data, and re-login in Chrome, it still shows the wrong folder data, only when I switched to a new browser with Safari login and it finally works well, how can I fix this?

Sound not match the time, when reopen stream

When playing in the middle of a chapter, then press the close button of the player to cancel the stream. And play the book again, the sound jump to somewhere(in my case is the begin of the chapter), but the time shows correct with the history record. If I press seekback or seekforward, it works back to normal.

This happens on both Android and Browser.

version: 1.4.12

P.S.
Another similar problem, if I add some new audio files to a book that already exists, and rescan. Sometimes the file playing order is different from the list. Forexample, play from the begin of the book, the sound is not the 1st file, but the time shows correct. I have to delete the book and rescan again, then it works.
