I have audiobooks in folders and every chapter is one mp3 file (multi-part audiobooks). So, one for is one audiobook, similar to music albums. When using library type "book" then the behavior in JF is a bit strange: In the library, the audiobooks are listed individually, but I cannot just play one specific audiobook because there is no "play" button on the books. I have to click into it and I get the folder content presented. So all individual chapters. Those chapters I can play then.
Also in the view "New Audiobooks", every audiobook appears multiple times. I guess JF treats every mp3 file (chapter of one book) as a separate audiobook?
For testing purpose, I converted one audiobook (folder of mp3 files) to a single m4b file. Then the behavior of JF is much more intuitive. I can directly play this audiobook, and also it appears only a single time in "New audiobooks".
So, one question is: does JF not support the structure to have one folder full of mp3 files for each audiobook?
Does the audiobook always have to consist of a single file (no multi-part)? The wiki also does not mention multi-part audiobooks:
