"Metadata Updating" scanning hangs on random audiobook artists/files in large Library
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).

Just expressing my total awe and sharing about my new setup of Plex
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.

Additional scrapers
I followed this guide for audiobooks using this agent.

What’s something you wish Plex would do that it does not do?
Having it built in natively would be awesome, but you can do it using https://github.com/macr0dev/Audiobooks.bundle
- I set up Plex for Audiobooks and I pretty impressed

Add Audiobook Agent
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?

Why does plex not sort audiobooks correctly?
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

Adding Audiobooks and Old Time Radio Shows to Plex
Here is a resource that you will find useful for audiobooks. I love your old-time radio idea, I look forward to hearing what people suggest for that because I am totally stealing your idea lol.

Tagging Conventions
I'd probably just bite the bullet and update the tags on everything. I've always just adhered to /u/seanap and followed their guide: https://github.com/seanap/Plex-Audiobook-Guide

I don't want streaming music, I just want to stream my music
Prologue for iOS is a Plex audiobook player that is better than any audiobook player has a right to be.
Here's a good guide on how to set up Plex for proper metadata with audiobooks: https://github.com/seanap/Plex-Audiobook-Guide
- Plex needs an audio book style library
- Links to tutorials on how to clean up my library? (Just installed "scanned and matched" folder... it is a total mess still!)

Calibre for audiobooks
Depending exactly what you're trying to do mp3tag is a great tool for just managing metadata directly. The Plex Audiobook Guide has some handy tools for mp3tag that allow you to download info directly from audible.

has anyone done the big move from Spotify or other to Plex?
This is the way: https://github.com/seanap/Plex-Audiobook-Guide
- My audiobooks collection. I saw a similar post from another user and I thought about sharing mine.

For those of you listening to the Audiobook version of Secret Project #1, which way did you choose? I have an Android phone, so Speechify is out. I don't currently use Spotify, so I'm leaning towards loading the MP3's on my phone, but which app (Android) is good for Audiobooks given in this format?
Just to throw this out there though for anyone who might be interested in self-hosting their secret project audiobooks and others, to look at Audiobook Shelf. /r/audiobookshelf (what i'm doing) or set up plex to handle audiobooks (as best as it can) and use one of the players listed on that site, probably Chronicle on Android or Prologue for iOS.
