nine___ Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 (edited) It would be nice if we could have an additional level in audio books for book series, rather than just author, book, chapters. It would be nice if they were listed in series order too. Author > (series) > Book > Chapters. I just realised.. this is probably not really doable if you're pulling data out of tags in the file... ah well. I guess it'd be more hassle than its worth, I dont see many people opting to add in series tags into each of their files...

ebr Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 Hi. Yes, this is a nice idea but the issue is where does this information come from... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you make it like collections we can create our own series. Otherwise you can likely do it similarly to how Calibre does it from Google Books: https://developers.google.com/books/docs/v1/using and Amazon: https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/gp/advertising/api/detail/main.html Or since book and audiobook series tend to be the same look up the book series data via the overdrive metadata API: https://developer.overdrive.com/apis/metadata or the openlibrary's api: https://openlibrary.org/dev/docs/api/books 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dapper Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 I'd love this feature -- would be much more elegant to have "collections" of books My current janky workarounds are some combination of: include the series as the "album" tag "[Series Name] [Number in Series] - [Actual Title]" have the correct publication date as the "year" tag & consistently spelled Author as the "artist" tag naming my folders in a similar fashion as the "album" tag "[Author] - [Year] - [Series Name] [Number in Series] - [Actual Title]" Obviously this has lots of limitations, esp if there are different authors across different books in the same series/collection Pic below is a current "best case scenario" for a series of audiobooks when I navigate to the "Author" --> "Albums" page 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tremas Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Could this be achieved by using the "Release Group Series" information from MusicBrainz? It's somewhat like collections from themoviedb. It seems that for most popular audiobooks there is already tons of series information associated with the album IDs. To see what I mean, you can look up an author and click on the recording to see a "relationships" section where the series information is shown. Here's two examples: George R. R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire": https://musicbrainz.org/series/c70c5484-06bc-4221-9550-236926a37823 Douglas Adams' "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" as two different series based on narrator: https://musicbrainz.org/series/5369df2d-7511-4a98-8a73-03b134af9e48 https://musicbrainz.org/series/e650a8a3-9d73-4c39-b452-7f02fd313f57 MusicBrainz even has sub-series levels, like for BigFinish Dr. Who audios: https://musicbrainz.org/series/946c3649-4c39-4025-bad2-455890bb9160?page=8 It would be great if we could get this info into emby, especially if we already have audiobooks tagged with MusicBrainz.

Possibly, yes, assuming that's what it's intended for, and that they've got it well populated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
