Hi,

Subscriber, running latest Plex on QNAP, wanting documentation/details on setup of Plex server with audiobooks. Anyone got any details on how they did it?

Yeah, I set mine up a number of years ago and works great.

1. Your Media has to follow a rigid naming schema.
2. Your metadata has to follow a rigid naming schema.
3. You cannot use Plex to match metadata.

Scanner: Plex Music Scanner  
Agent: Personal Media Artist  
Prefer Local Metadata: Enabled  
Store Track progress: Enabled  
Album Art: Local Files Only

I use [TagScanner - The Ultimate Tag Editor](https://www.xdlab.ru/en/) and treat each book as its own “album” remove all existing metadata and set:  
Author=Artist  
Title=Album  
book part = Track Number

The rename string is:  
`%artist%\%album%\%artist% - %album% - %track% of %totaltracks%`
