So thanks to this community, I have found the wonders of Audiobookshelf! Seems very promosing so far, but my main gripe is with my folder structure. I am therefore wondering if there is any media sorter tools out there? I’m thinking something along the lines of https://github.com/jpillora/media-sort (for plex) that I can use to sort the files into a supported folder structure for ABS, but even better would be if it also had a metadata agent that created an .obf file with common information.
If anyone has any tips it would be greatly appreciated, even if it’s some script that someone uses for own personal use that they wouldn’t mind sharing, I’m not closed to doing some coding work myself in order to get this right.
I think mostly I didnt see any options for setting up the download folder, just different download options (like torrent and usenet etc).
You create a “Torrent Blackhole” download client, set the Blackhole folder to somewhere irrelevant (nothing should end up here anyway if you don’t have an indexer setup, I set mine to /tmp). Set the watch folder to the one you want it to watch for new files.
When you add a book, it’ll go in the activity tab and either auto import if it matches a book with your settings, or you’ll get the option to manual import it and select the author, book, series, etc.
Keep in mind you still have to add the author under “Add New”.
