Audiobook Library option

I installed the Booksonic-Server on my Plex-Machine and it works really great for me. But I don’t want to have two different media servers and two different apps on my smartphone to listen audiobooks. Come on Plex, we NEED this feature!

+1 I would love audiobook support!

  • grouping multiple related files by name or by folder
  • marking progress among sequential files
  • marking progress in a single long file
  • looking up book covers
  • recommend book to fellow plex user

+1 yes yes yes

+1 Please.

This would be awesome, Have a large Audiobook collect and the Sync option would make it very useful.

+1 a better audiobook support would be great!

Hi guys I think as of the 3.17.2 version of the web app that remembering the position of audiobooks has been completed.

I will be posting a recap of the functionality requested in this thread soon.

Thread recap:

New library type audiobooks
** Option to see last played audiobook in on deck.
** A metadata for audio books (chapter and verses suggested)
** mp4 support.

“One issue right now however is that to use the saved position you have to
play the track not the album. Another is that plex does not note what
tracks you have listened to and which ones you have not(like it does with
TV shows).”

Ability to create bookmarks.

  • grouping multiple related files by name or by folder
  • marking progress among sequential files
  • marking progress in a single long file
  • looking up book covers
  • recommend book to fellow plex user

I personal would like to see the following prioritized:

New library type audiobooks
** Option to see last played audiobook in on deck.
** Metadata for audio books (chapter and verses suggested)
** mp4 support.

I think this might be mostly handled by the use of one deck.

Ability to create bookmarks.
Nice but low priority IMHO. Also probably wanted mostly because track progress was not remembered in the past.

IMHO is is way out of scope. I really want this but I would address it in another feature

Dear plex moderator,

Please consider awarding this feature request the [Popular] label.

Need this, very annoying if you have to seek the last position while driving … :wink:

Would like audiobooks supported in Plex.

How is this still not a thing? It should be SOOOOOO Simple! Please Plex! Listen to the users!
