multiview VS tone

Multiview, multi-object tracking - https://github.com/prcvlabs/multiview

I started doing research on cameras around 2012 and have been obsessed every since. The company behind this code failed unfortunately but I've kept poking at it and finding more people interested in it, even as my day job is more about cloud infrastructure. Companies like Zippin which have carved out a niche in the cashierless space really impress me.

Have you tried using ABP's own metadata tool and then using that to embed the metadata? They use tone. Not sure if it will help you with the m4bs containing mp4 streams - I've never tried dealing with that.

- LG G5 H850 (optional with Bang & Olufsen Hifi-Plus module) + Audiobookshelf + Substreamer

Let me cite my comment from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32042780:

I use m4b-tool[1], tone[2] and audiobookshelf[3] together with an LG G5 H850 smartphone[8] with Bang & Olufsen Hifi-Plus Module for Audio Only and I am pretty happy with this config. For Music I use Navidrome[5] and Substreamer App[7]. Maybe I'll try out Jellyfin[4] or maybe Plex[6], but I really don't wanna go closed source.

I also thought about writing something self hosted in C# to have ONE solution for audiobooks, podcasts and music and started a small private project, but this will take a while until it is ready to release something...

You may ask: Why an LG G5 H850? Well, its relatively small and cheap (about 50 - 80 bucks used) it has an audio Jack, USB-C, you can change the battery, it can hold up to 2TB microSD storage, has an HiFi Plus module for audio enthusiasts and a descent screen. Besides that it can run lineage os...

Note: I'm the author of the first two projects :-)

> Very neat, I love it, I used to have a tool to do this but it's been ages and is now unmaintained.

Thank you :-) Glad to hear that.

Good point. I think that the "scriptable" part needs special care regarding security issues, as well as the metadata-readers and JSON parsers. I don't want that to bite me in the neck because of a "malicious" file. Maybe it is worth to provide a responsible disclosure email and make a plan for security issues.
