bragibooks VS Audiobooks.bundle

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

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
