Schimi 26 Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 It´would be cool if MediaBrowser (i don´t now it´s a Server side think or a Plug-In thing) could Play Audiobooks "seperatly" If i set a folder only for Audiobooks, i only can choise "music" as "Collection type"... but if i like to hear music. MediaBrowser use the Audibook files to play as "music" It´s not so funny if you hear David Guetta and the next "Song" is a Part of Dieter Nuhr Audiobook ;-) I hope anyone understand what i try to explain...

Luke 36887 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 You can try out audio book support in the latest beta release of Emby Server. Simply create a library using the Books content type. Once scanned in you can play and resume just like you would expect with audio books. Please try it out and give us your feedback, we're listening. Thanks !

mediacowboy 438 Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 (edited) @@Luke I am testing this out. One thing I don't like is that I have to drill down a couple of time to play my books. My folder structure is similar to that of how I do movies, Click my Audiobooks Library Then I select the book Then I have to select the book again Then I am able to hit play Is there something I am doing wrong? I would expect to be able to go into my library. Select the item and then get the play icon. Also why I am not getting a picture on the forth picture I posted? When there is clearly a picture there from selecting the item. Edited December 30, 2016 by mediacowboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mediacowboy 438 Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Also there is no way to mark a book as read once you start listening to it. For it to be cleared of resume point you have to start from the beginning of the book and stop it immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlefacee 8 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 (edited) I have some more feedback on the audiobook section, My audiobooks are split into multiple parts of around 8-10 hrs each in either mp3 or m4b format. for example Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is broken up into 3 parts, but when i click on the book it shows up as three parts, and has incorrect cover art. Other audiobook players take all the mp3s in a folder and assumes they are one book. So instead of it showing 3 parts of 8 hrs each, it will display it as one part of 24hrs. or when it finishes a part, it automatically moves onto the next part. I know some of my friends keep them as hundreds of little mp3s, and it would be worse for them. it would be useful to have quick seek buttons, 1 minute back, 10 seconds back etc (look at the picture above) Also, i tend to go to sleep listening to an audiobook, and the current app i use atm, has a sleep timer. If the phone doesnt detect any movement in 15 minutes, it stops the audiobook (Fades out slowly). It does not display any metadata either Some users will also be interested in increased playback speed 1.5x 2.0x faster etc. Edited January 13, 2017 by turtlefacee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
