Great thank you. Do you know about a timeline? I don't mean 20. january. Is this a feature for Q1 in 2020 or no time so > 2021?

Shouldn't be too far off.

To expand on audiobook resume requests, support for time and progress based on the book as a whole than individual tracks. That way it looks cleaner when you have a trilogy and book 1 is a single file, book 2 is chapterized, book 3 is 3 parts, etc.

 

Keep up the great work!

Thanks for the info.

Sorry for ask. Have you some news for playback audiobooks with more than one file?

Posted

Not yet but it's planned for the future. Thanks.

Would you care to elaborate?

 

You said this same thing three years ago. Some more information would be greatly appreciated.

I just created an audiobook library the other day, and put some single file audiobooks in there. I downloaded one of the audiobooks and listened for a while. Later when I returned to emby to start listening again, instead of resuming it started over. That was really disappointing, and now I have to go through a single file audiobook hunting for where I left off. :(

 

I wish that if a library type was missing basic functionality like resume, it would tell you that when you create the library.

You need at least build 3.0.98 if you have the stable. If it's not pushed yet try the beta.

I have 3.1.7.

And it's still not working? Or you do now?

Single file resume works just fine. We do not yet support it at the audio book folder level.

It did not work for me. Was it perhaps because I was in a spot with no cell service when I stopped listening and therefore the app couldn't tell the server the resume point? And bear in mind I tried to resume listening at a later time using the same phone, not a different device. So I would've expected that even if it failed to update the server, the phone would still know where I stopped playing it.

Yes that is possible.

Well given that I downloaded the audiobook from emby to my phone, I expected it to handle the "no internet" condition properly. Will that get fixed?

As I said a year and a half ago, if you combine the single-track resume function (which starts the current track at last played location) with "Play all from here" (which starts at the beginning of the current track and queues the whole album) then you would accomplish this.

@@Luke I notice that if I go to the current track, then tap the album name and scroll down to the track and select, it does this. Also if I save a playlist and scroll to current track. Would it be possible to swing this queue functionality to the current track screen?

What do you mean by current track screen?

Like if you are halfway through a track on the audiobook the main screen has a continue listening and when you tap on it, it's just the one track. This I think is what he is talking about when it doesn't queue the whole album.

A few months later and I would like the to know the state of this feature. 

Like @Karpana I am using the playlist feature for interweened series (like the Arrowverse).

Atm every new year has more entries/episodes and more series, so I have to scroll a lot to get to my actual episode. The Resume Playlist feature would mean a lot for me.

Hopefully we'll be able to get to it soon. Thanks for the feedback.

@Luke the audio plays well now without skipping halfway through or ten tracks down. Now we just need some way to resume. Even halfway through the track it doesn't show up on Continue Listening anymore.
