remember the play position for audiobooks also. especially now as it is possible to sync them and take them with you. [Edit Mod] This post is also asking for an audio book specific library type separate from music library. While remembering position is part of a Music library, Audiobook could help…

I never said it was perfect, just that it is still a better option than dealing with plex. Just saying bro.

+1 more, yes please add audiobook functions

Out of curiosity how many votes until something gets recognised to go into the “implementation phase” @elan ? 594 seems like a lot to me?

I’m kind of saddened that they basically are ignoring this request. It was made years ago, and if memory serves Plex support even replied at some point like… 2 years ago? More? Saying that it was being implemented. As a lifetime Plex subscriber I’d appreciate some prioritization. As you said, so man…

But as a starting point, I’d be happy even if Plex just added a setting to not end a track until it’s at 100% completion and the ability to remember which track I’m on in the album. You alr…

Truth be told, it seems like the most difficult hurdle would probably be to implement having both chapter-marked books and traditional track-split albums in the same library at the same time. But while that’s a hurdle for optimal support, I don’t see why that should be a requirement for support. Ho…

It’s really not just a quantity thing, there are other factors are well, like how hard the feature is to implement. We’ve chatted about this one internally because we find it interesting for sure (and not least because of the interest you guys are expressing in it)
