Martha Wells, A.G. Riddle, and More Audiobooks from Recorded Books
Also I noticed Audiobook.bundle is no longer being actively worked on and has been moved to a different project, Audnexus. If you want to try it, I would use Audnexus because it has a release in March.

If you don't know about Plex, it's a service where you set up your own media server. It's not designed with Audiobooks in mind but I created a Music Library and only put Audiobooks in it. Plex is great and for regular media it will scan all your files and organize it and all the the details, summaries, catalogue and everything as if it were a regular streaming services; but since it's not designed for audiobooks you need to add an audiobook source for it to pull details from. I added Audnexus as my source, it works great.
- Audiobook matching has stopped working
- Plex needs an audio book style library
-
Channel Section Not Available
Third-party metadata agents/scanners still work (e.g. Audnexus is a popular one for getting better audiobook metadata), but there are very few others that do. Ones that relied on their own UI (e.g. anything that integrated with services like Spotify, YouTube, etc) don't work anymore, and haven't for 4+ years. You'll see their entry in the Plugins menu in your server settings, but you can't do anything beyond that because the UI it relied on was removed.
- Best way to curate audio books on plex server installed on Windows?
-
Audio books on server
Yes, it's fairly common. In lieu of "official" support, the third-party agent Audnexus can help with organizing things, pulling from online databases that the regular Plex Music agent doesn't (e.g. Audible), and setting tags that can help with navigation (e.g. setting the Style to the narrator, so you can filter to specific narrators).

Combining files
I use audacity to cut the "publisher packs" into their respective books and to glue multi part books together. I also have auto-m4b installed for bulk conversions.

New to Audiobookshelf - Organizing series with multiple subfolders
For what its worth I generally prefer working with a single monolithic file per book and found the following docker container to work well for my needs: https://github.com/seanap/auto-m4b

Plex for Books?
There's extra steps that need to be taken, but there are automation tools that work well in conjunction with readarr that take care of those steps. Auto-m4b monitors a folder for audiobooks and converts mp3 files into chapterized m4b files, which readarr handles way better at import than mp3. The Audnexus metadata agent handles proper metadata for audiobooks, including author info and portraits plus plex-friendly covers.
