Update on my metadata situation etc. I've removed all of my current podcasts and am in the process of re-adding them via the audio bookshelf interface. It seems to be downloading them as expected, and the sort feature now works. Playback via the web interface works as expected, but I'm having trouble with the iOS/iPadOS interface. I can see the downloaded episodes, but when I click the play button, nothing happens. In the logs that I see in the web interface (using ROOT user), I get messages like this one: [PlaybackSessionManager] startSession: Closing open session "Preview - 16 Shots: The Police Shooting of Laquan McDonald" for user "mikeo" It seems to indicate that it is closing my previous play attempt, and opening a new one (though no playback interface popped up either time). I submitted feedback on TestFlight related to this issue. I hope we can find out what's happening. I don't have an android device to use for testing, unfortunately. Thanks.

advplyr, thanks for the info!

As far as audio and airplay etc, in other frequently used apps, I get the airplay icon on the now-playing screen. I'm attaching screen grabs from both Overcast and Pocket Casts. They each seem to include this interface element in a similar way. By way of contrast, I'm including a grab from the now-playing screen on the beta version of your audiobookshelf app. I've also included a screen capture of the menu which appears when you click on the airplay icon. If I have headphones inserted/connected via bluetooth, they also appear here. This allows the user to easily switch between audio outputs on the fly (from headphones, to iPhone speaker, to airplay target). Something like this would be really great in Audiobookshelf! Thanks again for the follow up.

Hey advplyr, thanks for the reply. You're definitely on to something - it looks like the MP3 information isn't being filled. I'm using the app in conjunction with PodGrab (to get new episodes/download existing episodes) as has been suggested on this forum and elsewhere. It doesn't look like the metadata is populating. I'm attaching a list view image, and a "edit" image from my system. The pub date does not appear to represent the time of the podcasts release, but rather something like when it was downloaded via pod grab, or when it was added to the audio bookshelf database. Any ideas on how to fix this? I did a force refresh on the library, and that didn't help. It also doesn't seem to help if I match the podcast (using the iTunes source) on the last tab. The podcast in the picture has had both actions done with no effect to the sorting (nor does it populate metadata information for individual episodes in the interface). Any suggestions on how to proceed? Thanks!

I appreciate this app very much. Thanks for making it available! I'm not a developer, just an end-user, so a lot of the behind the scenes stuff is completely beyond me. I do want to mention a couple of things. 1) When I click into a podcast that I've downloaded, there is a drop down menu in the main panel which has the items Pub Date, Title, Season, and Episode. From their position in the interface, it seems like these are sorting options. I listen to a lot of fiction podcasts, and I would like to sort from oldest to newest, or something that gives me that result. However, when I make a different selection, nothing happens. I opened a log window when making the change, and don't see any observable change there either. Is this a feature in the works, or is there simply something wrong with my installation? 2) I've also downloaded the beta app for my iPhone using Test Flight. It looks great. Same thing with the sorting option, though I don't think I even am getting a drop down list of choices. 3) Also related to the iPhone app, I'm wondering whether bluetooth audio functionality will be coming, and airplay functionality? Right now, it seems that the app is limited to local playback only (headphones or iPhone speaker). I'd love to be able to use this app in the car for podcast listening, but I don't think it's possible at the moment. Again, I could be missing something. Thanks again!

Jorge, thanks a million. This worked perfectly.

Ah - thanks. I missed that selection the first time I was going through tools. Sorry about the limited info before. Mike cygnus-diagnostics-20220616-0531.zip.download.zip

Hey - trying to install UNRAID on my Dell Optiplex 7050MT. I have a 4GB Iron Wolf, a 1GB Sandisk SSD (2.5") and the new addition, a 1TB NVME drive - straight out of the box. The bios recognizes that there is an NVME drive installed, and properly identifies its size, but it doesn't show up in UNRAID - my intention is to add it to a cache pool. I've uploaded my hardware profile via the "Tools" menu, though at a cursory glance, I didn't see it listed. Any help would be welcome. I'd much rather have the faster NVME drive take on the primary cache responsibility than the relatively slow Sandisk Plus that I have in the system. Thanks, Mike

Thanks, Jorge B. I got impatient and decided to blow away my array and start again. I'm almost back to where I was (parity is being rebuilt now). I'm a little afraid of going to a potentially unstable release (RC1), but if it happens again, I will do so. cheers!

Any ideas?

Oops. Sorry about that. Here’s the array in normal mode diagnostics. thanks! honeycrisp-diagnostics-20211009-1307.zip

Hi all - in 2nd day of my Unraid trial. All seemed to be going well, but after a reboot (to clear the error log), two of my disks showed up as unmountable. Somehow, I was able to get one of them to remount after xfs_repair and a reboot, but I still have one which won't mount. Here's the results of the latest xfs_repair.... I'm something of a newbie to CLI - I definitely am more comfortable with a GUI. I ran xfs_repair from the command line while the array was in maintenance mode. This particular drive was a new purchase. The only strange thing I can say was that when I tried to run preclear on it, it finished instantly. I tried this two or three times, then said - I'll just add it to the array and hope for the best. Diagnostics attached. If anyone can provide advice, I'd be grateful. I'd prefer to not have to start over with a new array. Cheers, bonmot honeycrisp-diagnostics-20211009-1231.zip
