AudioBookshelf
AudioBookshelf is a self-hosted audiobook server for managing and playing your audiobooks.
Android app is in beta, try it out on the Google Play Store
Free & open source Android/iOS app is in development
Directory Structure
Author, Series, Volume Number, Title and Publish Year can all be parsed from your folder structure.
Note: Files in the root directory /audiobooks will be ignored, all audiobooks should be in a directory
1 Folder: /Title/...
2 Folders: /Author/Title/...
3 Folders: /Author/Series/Title/...
Parsing publish year
/1984 - Hackers/...
Will save the publish year as 1984 and the title as Hackers
Parsing volume number (only for series)
/Book 3 - Hackers/...
Will save the volume number as 3 and the title as Hackers
Book Volume Vol Vol. are all supported case insensitive
These combinations will also work:
/Hackers - Vol. 3/...
/1984 - Volume 3 - Hackers/...
/1984 - Hackers Book 3/...
Parsing subtitles (optional in settings)
Title Folder: /Hackers - Heroes of the Computer Revolution/...
Will save the title as Hackers and the subtitle as Heroes of the Computer Revolution
