2) It is true that the word plugin in a plugin is redundant, so I will remove it. |

So I stumbled across this plugin and see that v1.0.6 added M4B support. However, I have a really dumb question: How does one get M4B audio books into the Calibre library in the first place? In my initial searching, I thought audiobook files (such as M4B) are not supported by Calibre?

Calibre will STORE other things in the title folders (a title folder is what shows in the formats section of the MDE (Metadata editor)
You can just drop those other types into that panel. Supported means Calibre can do other things (like Edit, View). Unsupported means you must do the extra lifting, like oppen the MDE and double-clicking a M4B (assumes the OS knows what to do with that type.) |

I can add those to be inside my main Calibre Library folder? Do I do that just via my Windows folder explorer manually outside of Calibre? Or is it possible to store that folder (or maybe just the m4b file) via the Calibre GUI? |

Well I tried a number of things. (VLC is my media player)
A put the cue file there: VLC showed the Playlist (that is what a CUE does), but VLC could not find the m4b. I then added the m4b file there. still no joy (cue path has encoded spaces:%20 ) using the cue. I can open the M4B directly with Calibre (it launches VLC in my case), but there is no playlist to allow switching chapters. I also failed adding a folder (xyz.ab) which contained the other files. jpg is the cover (not needed to play) nfo is details about the audio (not needed to play) |

Hi !!
What I do when I add audiobooks with multiple audio files is create an .m3u playlist. I directly add this playlist with the name of the audiobook name to caliber and then (manually) copy the files to the caliber folder. If you click on the audiobook, it will open the playlist with your player and it will have all the files of each chapter loaded. The .m3u file is something like this: (you can edit the .m3u file with any text editor) Code:
#EXTM3U my_audiobook_name_01.mp3 my_audiobook_name_02.mp3 ... Last edited by wiso; 05-08-2022 at 07:03 AM. |

Yes the file will coexist with the book
NO it is unsupported, the content server does not know what to do with those files. I figured out what was going on. Calibre renames the files when it adds them, thus breaking the internals of the cue (still has the old name). (the cue is a text file: NP++ peeks just fine) |

Incorrect Duration
I have an issue where some (not all) of my audiobooks are producing incorrect durations.
The ones showing up wrong are always shorter (usually much shorter) than the actual length of the audiobook. I'm attached one example (and linked it from imgur), but this isn't my only incorrect one. top line is info from calibre showing incorrect duration bottom line is from file explorer showing correct duration When I have audiobooks in multiple parts, I merge them together into one file using Merge MP3, so my first thought was there was a metadata holdover from before merging. However, I've had this issue happen in audiobooks that did not need to be merged and there are audiobooks that I've merged that don't have this issue at all. Any thoughts on fixing this?
