mickle026 400 Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 (edited) AmazonAudioBooks.zip Still some search improvements to be done! - Testing version. Not always fetching overviews - so I need to look at that. This is a webscraper, It searches amazon for your audiobook. Its up to you to check you can legally use this in your country - I accept no responsibilty. Use at your own risk. As this is a private use plugin and at no way connected to commercial use, copyrights are deemed "fair use" - for personal use in most countries, However its on you to check this where you are. For Audiobooks it fetches: Book Title Release Date Studio Poster Images Writers / Narrators (names only) Tagline Overview It does not fetch any Writers or Narrators Information or Images (when you click them) - it only fetches the audiobook information.. It only searches the book names, if I search the release dates or writers as well it usually doesn't find anything, so its possible to get the wrong book of the same name - just so you know. However so far for me, it has got the right books each time up to now ... theres still time to get the wrong book.... Identify is not enabled in this plugin so will error in Emby log if you try to use it. Drop the .dll in your plugins folder Restart Emby Go to Library Settings, Enable in metadata and Images I'm not entirely sure how to add Narrators to Audio books - there doesnt seem to be a narrator entity. @Luke So I have added them as an Actor with the Role "Narrator", this maybe not the correct place to put them - so until I know how they are handled, thats where this plugin adds them This is an initial test release so do not consider it perfect! - I advise testing it on a dummy library first. 31.Jan.2023 - 01.12.35 [GetMetadata] Searching for AudioBook = The Running Man 31.Jan.2023 - 01.12.35 Url = https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k="the running man"+audiobook 31.Jan.2023 - 01.12.36 Search Link Added: https://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Running-Man/dp/B01H0INT8Y 31.Jan.2023 - 01.12.36 Found link = https://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Running-Man/dp/B01H0INT8Y 31.Jan.2023 - 01.12.36 Testing Link: https://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Running-Man/dp/B01H0INT8Y 31.Jan.2023 - 01.12.38 [AudiBook Name] found: 'The Running Man' 31.Jan.2023 - 01.12.38 [Person] found: 'Stephen King' 31.Jan.2023 - 01.12.38 [Person] found: 'Kevin Kenerly' 31.Jan.2023 - 01.12.38 [Studio] found: 'Hodder & Stoughton' 31.Jan.2023 - 01.12.38 [ReleaseDate] found: '28 July 2016' 31.Jan.2023 - 01.12.38 [ReleaseDate] extracted: 27/07/2016 23:00:00 31.Jan.2023 - 01.12.38 Tagline Found: It's not just a game when you're running for your life. 31.Jan.2023 - 01.12.38 Overview: It's not just a game when you're running for your life. Every night they tuned in to the nation's favourite prime-time TV game show. They all watched, from the sprawling slums to the security-obsessed enclaves of the rich. They all watched the ultimate live death game as the contestants tried to beat not the clock but annihilation at the hands of the Hunters. Survive 30 days, and win the billion-dollar jackpot - that was the promise. But the odds were brutal and the game rigged. Best score so far was eight days. And now there was a new contestant, the latest running man, staking his life while a nation watched.

mickle026 400 Posted January 31, 2023 Author Share Posted January 31, 2023 Found an issue, will re-upload when its fixed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickle026 400 Posted January 31, 2023 Author Share Posted January 31, 2023 (edited) OK, reuploaded it. Definately a testing version so use at your own choice. There seems to be an issue within Emby that @Lukewill need to clarify what is happening with audiobooks. In this thread: I was told to use an album provider for audio books, which this plugin does. however, when opening Edit Metadata most of the information is missing. (Overview , studio, People etc), - It shows on the library browser view! For some the overview shows, but all of them do not show people or studios But its not all of them for overview, it shows fo running man Tagline is missing from the editor! Im have no idea , but I presume there are remnants of an older audiobook system when it was seperate from MusicAlbum still present or at work here ??

adminExitium 173 Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 @mickle026Thanks a lot for this. Would it be possible to use the Audnexus (https://audnex.us/) endpoint instead for all this info? It already has a lot of info put together without needing everyone to scrape it individually. Plex Plugin using that: https://github.com/djdembeck/Audnexus.bundle Repo for the datasource: https://github.com/laxamentumtech/audnexus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plex Plugin using that: https://github.com/djdembeck/Audnexus.bundle Repo for the datasource: https://github.com/laxamentumtech/audnexus I took a quick look at the audnexus, and whilst it does have a whole lot of information and I could use it, it doesn't support lookup by book title, which is a bit of a problem. You can find most books if you have the ASIN, its a bit awkward by Author though, as the author returns just ASIN's, so then you have to look them all up until you find the book. However I have now got several ideas, using several sources how to make a pretty complete plugin. I know just need to borrow some time from somewhere .............. at the moment I dont have much ..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adminExitium 173 Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 It uses the unofficial Audible API for the title searches. An example search URL: https://api.audible.com/1.0/catalog/products?response_groups=contributors,product_desc,product_attrs&num_results=25&products_sort_by=Relevance&title=The Sour Taste of Suspicion&author=CeeCee James 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adminExitium 173 Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 There is also talk of a closed alpha for an AudiobookDB if you are interested: https://github.com/laxamentumtech/audnexus/issues/689 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adminExitium 173 Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Yeah, that's what the plex plugin uses for getting the ASIN and then the Audnexus API for the remaining info like the genre, cover images, series info etc. from that ASIN.

Yep, just checked the Audiable API - it seems that the Products responce is the only part that doesnt require a device authenticated on amazon, the rest of the queries do. So they must have a backend script that fethces the data via an authenticated device script or device and save that response to their own webserver. I,e build it on the fly as requests are made.

adminExitium 173 Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Basically, yeah. I am not 100% sure if it's on-demand fetching or pre-fetched periodically but doesn't really matter to the plugin needs either way as long as it responds with all the data.

adminExitium 173 Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Also, I am not sure how much info is available from the ffprobe for plugins but I have all my audiobooks tagged with the ASIN field for exact matches so hopefully, the plugin can make use of those (if available) and avoid any additional processing for figuring out the correct match.

VicMoore 558 Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 @mickle026this is great work. Did you implement everything in JS? Vic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickle026 400 Posted November 7, 2023 Author Share Posted November 7, 2023 @VicMooreI wish I could do js , Im not good at js Nearly everything I do in my plugins is done in c# and I have had to learn that on the fly. I don't use API calls except to my own code, everything is done internal via c#. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
