Show as much metadata as possible in Plex & Booksonic. Edit the newly copied config files with your specific paths.Download my example configuration files to Mp3tag's Appdata directory.(Optional) Automatically convert mp3 audiobooks to chapterized M4B.(Optional) Automatically copy untagged Audiobook files to a temp folder.Most of it also works on Linux/Mac but the Mp3tag Audible WebSource script only works on Windows. Note: This guide targets and has been tested on Windows systems. While focused on Plex, if you follow the tagging and file processing steps you will also be compatible with Booksonic and AudiobookShelf servers. Everything is customizable, and easy to change. This guide is meant to serve as a framework for fully utilizing metadata.

I'll be doing a deep dive into some advanced features of the tools available to us in order to get a nice, clean, and functional UI. This is my method for processing large libraries with bad/missing tags as quick as possible while getting the most metadata into Plex in the least amount of time. I'm happy to answer any other questions you have.This guide is specifically for optimal Audiobook experience using Plex, which in it's current state only quasi-supports audiobooks. Very simple, bland interface, but it just works better. You have to open the app to rewind if you missed something.īecause of all this I have started to use BookSonic instead. Because plex just treats these as songs, hitting 'back' restarts the whole chapter. I'm spoiled by apps like podcast addict which give me great flexibility over the play, pause, and rewind functions. This means you need to remember where you left off in the book even if the progress within the chapter is saved. Also, because an 'album' is very far from a book, there is no 'watched' status saved as you progress through the chapters like you get in the TV shows library. After pausing, the app frequently closes completely making you reopen the app and hit play.

In my experience using the android app, it's clear that audio playback was an afterthought for plex. Be sure to enable the setting that saves your progress. I have a 'music' library setup with the Audible Metadata agent. I have this all setup and about two months of experience with it.
