Audiobooks.bundle VS lms-material

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.

I just set up Plex with the Audnexus agent (https://github.com/seanap/Audiobooks.bundle), using the Prologue app (https://prologue.audio/) to listen on my phone. It was a little bit of a fiddle to set up, but it's worked wonderfully.

I used this one: https://github.com/seanap/Audiobooks.bundle

You certainly have to massage it to make it work but with a plug-in or two (Seanad guide)and apps like prologue you certainly can get a good and complete experience.

Mp3Tag can be used to bulk edit local metadata if that's what's causing issues. This guide that targeted Audnexus's predecessor is also still relevant if you want to automate some of the process.

I currently have my large collection of audiobooks indexed in Plex as a music library using the Audiobooks.bundle scanner/agent - I setup AudiobookShelf on a VM to play around with it and have so far been very pleasantly surprised by the feature set.

I can't help with the Jellyfin side of things, but I have had great success with this methodology via Plex (even in the free version) using the iOS app Prologue

There is no built-in Plex audiobook agent. Do you have (old) Audiobooks.bundle agent installed?

The latest plex update broke metadata agents. For now you can roll back to 1.24.2. Plex will be release a fix in an upcoming beta release https://github.com/seanap/Audiobooks.bundle/issues/36

Sounds more like an issue with the agent. The fork here allows you to disable downloading artwork https://github.com/seanap/Audiobooks.bundle

Another solution that is surprisingly powerful is Logitech Media Server [0], which despite its name is open source and cross-platform. The server can run on any unix-ish machine, and clients can be any number of Raspberry Pis or ESP32s, or custom boxes, or any computer. Multiroom syncing is great. Works for local library and streaming. There is even a modern web interface available [1]. I looked into many of the other solutions in this thread, and LMS suited my needs best.

Upon first glance it's interface will look rather dated, but that's easily remedied with the Material Skin plug-in.

If you haven't tried it yet, I'm partial to the webapp UI, but with Material Interface.
