Update: v0.9.41-beta is live on the play store. If you downloaded the APK earlier I still recommend updating or getting the new APK because I fixed a bug with playing downloaded audio files. Heads for anyone looking here after issues updating to v2. The google play store android app release that is compatible with server v2.0.0 is currently stuck in review. If you are an android user I don't recommend updating to v2.0.0 until the official release is announced. If you are an iOS user that app update is already available. If you already updated the server then do not downgrade because it will create further problems with your data. In that case, or if you want to access the current release early, you can download the APK directly https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf-app/releases/tag/v0.9.41-beta. If you download the APK directly then you will need to uninstall the old app version you got from the play store.

I don't see how this is possible. Abs does create the cache folder itself inside the /metadata folder. So even if you set the /metadata folder to the /audiobooks folder purge cache would still only delete the /metadata/cache folder.

This is concerning.. there has been another user report high CPU usage but we weren't able to pinpoint anything. If you have any more info on this please share. Version 2.0 is going to be released in the coming weeks which has major improvements across the board. Are you using Android Auto or Bluetooth? Instead of opening another app first I wonder if opening up the audiobookshelf app then pressing play from your car would also work.

Subfolder in address is not supported yet. It's going to be a big task to add support for this so still trying to think of the best way.

I'm not sure how many audiobooks you have to do remove, but it may be easier to go to Issues then batch remove them. You can remove all audiobooks though on the first config page, there is a button that deletes and re-creates the audiobooks db.

Yeah there is a lot of different edge cases, like books belonging to multiple series. I think the way to go is to allow users to rely less on their directory structure if they choose. In that thread you can see several people are choosing to prefer using their OPF files over directory structure.

Yes, if you name the series folder the exact same in multiple author folders then they will be in the same series. There is a thread open to discuss how to improve this https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf/issues/320, but still haven't landed on the best way to handle this.

I know you said you checked github, but I just want to make sure you've seen other threads that may help: https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf/discussions/238 https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf/discussions/126 https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf-app/issues/36 Your best bet is to open an issue or start a discussion on the github page with your setup and config. We really need to add a page on the website https://audiobookshelf.org/docs with all the details to help with setting up reverse proxy and ssl. If anyone seeing this wants to help contribute to the project, that would be a big help (website is open source also: https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf-web)

If you haven't already solved this you should see this discussion https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf/discussions/238 Yeah this is an issue with the db. It doesn't have any impact so I haven't gotten to it yet.

Probably best to remove them from audiobookshelf by opening the edit modal and clicking remove, or selecting them all and remove. Then do a scan to pull them in fresh.

Looks like your library is not getting seen. Can you run a scan?

Nothing was updated for streaming, are you able to stream any audiobooks? Are you starting the stream from the mobile app or the web app?

Thanks for your support, the project has come so far in just a few months with all the contributors. The problem is the websocket is not connecting, and we don't have great documentation for this yet. A few people got their setup working with reverse proxy and are helping out in the Github discussions. https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf/discussions/126#discussioncomment-1526384 This one is not nginx but could be helpful https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf-app/issues/36 I will be adding an alert to show when the websocket is not connected, that is one thing throwing people off.

This was a bug I fixed in the latest version v1.6.31

Green icon means you are seeing the image fotosho compressed. Click it to change to orange which is your original untouched image. If the image is over 800px in height it will be reduced to 800px height and is converted to webp, so the file size difference can be 100x smaller or more if you have raw camera images.

There is not yet a way to change the tags on your audio files. I haven't landed on a good solution for that yet. There is an open issue on github that I will be posting on for any updates to that https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf/issues/141. You can subscribe to notifications on that thread if you are interested. I just released v1.6.30 that supports batch adding/removing books from collections. When selecting multiple books you will see it with the other batch icons in the top-right.

Fotosho doesn't have any function to alter your files

Yes, this is because the scanner & folder watcher doesn't know for sure whether you deleted it or it got moved or maybe some random file system issue and it wasn't detected. In that case if it removed the audiobook you would lose any metadata you adjusted or entered in manually. This could change in the future, but for now I think it best to play it safe.

First I want to note that audiobookshelf never deletes or modifies your files. Covers are stored in /metadata/books unless you toggle the setting to store the cover art in your audiobook directory. When you say deleted directories are you saying you deleted directories then re-scanned? Or that on the re-scan the directory is no longer linked to the audiobook in your library? When you say the artwork disappeared are you saying it is no longer in the audiobook folder, or that audiobookshelf just doesn't see it anymore? You can remove audiobooks from your library by clicking the remove button in the edit modal. You can also reset entirely and remove all audiobooks with the button in the config page.

I'm not sure actually, I thought google play just sent them automatically and they show in the dashboard for me. If I find out more info I'll get back to you on this one. I'll need to get my hands on some high quality audioplays to play around with this. Do you know of a source to get these for free? All audio right now is transcoded to 2 channel, do you know if these audioplays are 6 channels?

I'm not sure what you mean by "kicked" your pictures. Also, when you say you deleted a book does this mean you removed it from audiobookshelf or you deleted the directory in your file system? Audiobookshelf has no function that renames files, so I'm not sure that rename was coming from audiobookshelf. If you search and select a cover (or have auto-download covers on), the cover will always be named "cover.jpg" or "cover.png". Can you elaborate on uploading did not work for you? Is this recent and with the latest version? This is a known issue, but I still haven't seen a crash log report. Yes it works, a user that set that up shared their config: https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf#nginx-reverse-proxy

@Greygoose The app isn't setup for android auto yet. I'm not sure if this will be ready before it comes out of beta, but is definitely in the plans. I'll post an announcement in the audiobookshelf-app github discussions when that is ready for testing.

Thank you! The android app is almost ready to come out of beta, then the iOS app can get prioritized. Most of the issues are getting put in the app's github page: https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf-app/issues or the discussions page on there. Unraid does have some great youtube content creators, helped me out quite a bit setting up Unraid at first.

Have you tried a different cover to confirm it is only happening with that cover? I don't see any crash reports for today.

Thanks for sharing, I added a link to your solution in the readme. https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf#swag-reverse-proxy
