Audnexus.bundle VS bragibooks

https://github.com/djdembeck/Audnexus.bundle gets you meta-data updating.

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.

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.

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).

I’ve been using this: https://github.com/djdembeck/bragibooks

I use bragibooks for MP3 -> M4B conversion despite the interface leaving a lot to be desired. Though seanap's guide works too. It's just a bit more manual.

I got the Audnexus Metadata Agent installed on Plex, but have tried and failed so many times to follow seanap's guide, bragibooks, and the Audnexus guide for properly tagging my audiobooks. I have mostly .m4bs with clean titles and album art to begin with.

Learned about https://github.com/djdembeck/bragibooks today and I personally use https://github.com/seanap/Auto-M4B-Tool

you can also check bragibooks out. https://github.com/djdembeck/bragibooks. it merges all your multiple mp3 audiobooks into one m4b file and it also tags all your files, with author, book name and even chapters. it uses audnexus to scrape all metadata. It's really cool. it me up if you need some help setting it up.

If you need help chaptalizing shit you can use Bragibooks.

To add to this, BragiBooks is awesome for converting mp3's to a chapterized m4b and tagging the books and moving to the right folder structure.

I wrote a Python web-frontend to run on media servers to handle converting/sorting my audiobooks, with no manual data entry (after entering Audible ID). I found it preferable to using tagger apps and mixed file formats: https://github.com/djdembeck/bragibooks
