Not sure if there is a official list of features requested for audiobook support but this is what I would like to see. I am making this list for audiobook/podcast/radio drama/audio courses as they are all similar to me. This list is not ordered in any specific order. Also not sure if we can add different parts to a request like this.
Listened / Unlistened Just like videos Mark what files have not been listened to. This will be very beneficial when there are multifile books. You would then be able to hit play on the “album” / book and it start one the correct file instead of having to remember what file you are currently on.
Bookmarks Having the ability to quickly jump to a favorite part or a part you wish you relisten to.
Sleep Timer I sometimes listen to books going to sleep and don’t like to wake up to the book being done.
Variable Speed Playback Sometimes it is nice to slow down a action scene or speed up a slow reader.
m4b Chapter Support Full support of this file type.
Folder Structure There needs to be a official way to structure folders/books. Currently my library is structured as Author(folder) - - >Series(folder)–>Book(folder) - - > audio files. It might just be that I have it structured wrong but my Plex audiobook library is completely incorrect. I have to use the folder view to find anything.
I feel like remembering track position is a big step in the right direction but there is a lot of polishing that can be done still to make this complete with and blow out of the water some of the other audiobook platforms.
Metadata agent an agent that auto pulls book summary, cover, author(s), narrorator(s), production company, and so forth
Go to Position I increasingly find the need to be able to input directly the track position.
Larger Skip Sizes Along with go to position it would be nice to skip larger gaps 60 seconds or 300 seconds.
Improved position text On Android the text for the current position gets cut off. Currently I only see hh:m. Would be nice to see the full position hh:mm:ss
Im sure there are some points I am missing. What do you guys think?
