Support for audiobooks

So I know I ranted about we shouldn’t have to use work arounds…but I got frustrated (Like so many others because of Mac OS Catalina).

So 24 days later, I just finished using a work around for Plex and so far… it works beautifully. If you are interested, here is what I did:

  1. Used Audiobook Converter on Github to convert all files to m4b. Not a necessary step, but I like the idea of having one file audiobooks.

  2. Follow Plex Audiobook Guide on Github, with the exception of #3.

  3. I personally did not want auto-meta data so I didn’t install the plex meta data agent. I used the mp3tag initial meta data download and manually adjusted from there.

  4. Downloaded Prologue an excellent app made specifically for audiobooks on a Plex server (I think iphone only at this time).

If you’d like more detailed instructions on how I got this the way it is, PM me and I’d be happy to help you out.

The result is, in the Plex for Windows (Grid View):
