Ebook and Audiobook
Posted: 29 Jul 2019, 23:55
Would there be interest for ebook/audiobook support?
The obvious APIs are from Goodreads https://www.goodreads.com/api and Amazon.
Both support ebooks and audiobooks (albeit in different ways), and FileBot already has support for audio files.
Both Kodi and Plex support Audiobooks as long as they're properly tagged (ID3 and such).
Some people have already done some work on how to tag them: https://www.blisshq.com/music-library-m ... udiobooks/ and https://www.reddit.com/r/PleX/comments/ ... eo_podcast (at the end).
Kodi natively supports audiobooks https://kodi.wiki/view/Audiobooks.
There are also Metadata agents for Plex and Kodi (albeit user-supported in most cases).
I realize most of this focuses on audiobooks, and this is indeed the main gap, ebooks are nicely covered by calibre.
Given the fact that the databases suggested also provide information for ebooks it may be a nice added bonus (with a standalone cops server for example).
