How to manage audiobooks? - ReaderGuy42 - 2023-08-24

I've got Jellyfin running on my Raspberry Pi 4b and for movie files it works great.

I'd like to use Jellyfin for my audiobooks too, because I just can't get "Audiobookshelf" to work at all (the docker exits the instant it's started).

I've added a folder to Jellyfin with some audio files and I've installed the plugin. About half the audiobooks get cover images. But for some when I go into the lowest level of the directory, i.e. the book: Author -> (Series) -> Book title -> audio files

nothing shows up, i.e. no files. Can Jellyfin just show those so that I can download them on my phone? Even if it can't play it in the app?

Any ideas are appreciated!

Hey @ReaderGuy42

could you please upload a logfile from the last Scan you did to an external site like Pastebin? you might want to omit personal infos like Ips/Domains/Usernames.

Did you try to use the Identify/Edit Images buttons on those files?

I'll post the log file later, it's pretty long.

And I can't press "identify" or "edit" for those files because Jellyfin doesn't seem them at all. There's nothing in those folders. I can see them via a terminal, and the audio files are in tact, it's just that Jellyfin doesn't see them.

What is your specific problem?  It sounds like the original poster had file access problems.
