Audible.com-Search-by-Album VS Audiobooks.bundle

Seanap's plugin for MP3Tag is one that some use to tag their audiobooks for use in Plex.

You don't have to rename the file itself if you don't want to. I just went through a very large audiobook library (over 1,000 audiobooks) to retag the audiobook metadata using the Seanap (https://github.com/seanap/Audible.com-Search-by-Album) MP3tag plugin. I just tagged the file data but didn't change the file name using the Tag-Filename button.

Personally I have a rather large audiobook library in Plex. I've used MP3Tag to properly tag each MP3 file when I've ripped it. Currently use this audiobook scrapper (https://github.com/seanap/Audible.com-Search-by-Album) in MP3Tag which helps with the tagging process. There are likely better ways to deal with audiobooks, for my needs it's working OK for now until something better comes along or Plex adds official audiobook support.

For audiobook tagging, you can always look at this: https://github.com/seanap/Audible.com-Search-by-Album

Starting in the past few weeks using Plex Media Server version 1.27.1.5916 (on Synology), the metadata scanner appears to get hung up (or stuck) while scanning a large (over 1,000 albums) Library of Audiobooks. The Dashboard indicates "Updating Metadata" and just sits spinning on some random album artist entry. Takes a reboot of the Plex server to stop the metadata scan. Then some time later, 12 or more hours, the scan starts again and subsequently gets randomly hung up somewhere during the scan of this Library. "Prefer local metadata" is not checked on the Library. This audiobook Library is using the macr0dev Audiobooks.bundle metadata agent (and has been for a while without issue).

I recently finally got Plex working with audiobooks in a way I'm happy with. I used this Plex Audiobooks Guide as a base and tweaked it as I went. The relatively new Audnexus metadata agent for Plex seems pretty promising but I still use a modified version of the Audiobooks.bundle. It still involves some manual customization as the agents can't directly add albums to collections and I like to organize the series' I have by collection, but overall it does a lot of the work for you.

I followed this guide for audiobooks using this agent.

hereyou go :)

Having it built in natively would be awesome, but you can do it using https://github.com/macr0dev/Audiobooks.bundle

from the GIthub page https://github.com/macr0dev/Audiobooks.bundle

I have found a third-party Agent on GITHUB https://github.com/macr0dev/Audiobooks.bundle which I have downloaded and added to the Plugs folder %LOCALAPPDATA%\Plex Media Server\Plug-ins but whenever I restart my server I don't see this as an option to choose?

Plex doesn't actually support Audiobooks so that's likely the main reason. This is the agent I'm Using https://github.com/macr0dev/Audiobooks.bundle/archive/master.zip
