Audiobooks.bundle VS quodlibet

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

A shameless plug, but you may also like Quod Libet[1]. Although not for everyone, it has very advanced searching and the more unusual integrations and features all implemented as plugins.

Check out QuodLibet https://github.com/quodlibet/quodlibet

quodlibet is only closest thing I found that I can tolerate.

If you want a desktop app that can run on Windows or Linux or MacOS, I recommend Quod Libet (https://github.com/quodlibet/quodlibet)

missed Quod Libet, https://github.com/quodlibet/quodlibet, best Music app replacement so far

Dont know what this means, looks like QuodLibet is licensed under the GNU Public License: https://github.com/quodlibet/quodlibet/blob/master/COPYING

i used this really nice music player and library manager called Quod Libet which is written in python. now, that app isn't exactly the one with fast development cycle (latest release was on march 2021), and python3.10 release was nearing

Quod Libet works well in my limited experience. I don't use it for extensive things besides playing music, making playlists, and such. It fits your qualifications by the standards I just mentioned, has a GUI, and last contribution on their github seems to be 9 days ago for the docs, and 15 days ago for code related materials.
