Supported languages

Does the new plugin support other sites than audible.com? Like audible.de, .fr, ...

[djdembeck]

Not currently. I need to determine the best structure for supporting other regions first, then I can see how feasible non-English regions will be

[rabelux]

I guess I'll better stick with the old plugin until this is on your roadmap, let me know if I can be of any help.

I'm a bit surprised though that you went ahead and wrote a completely new backend + plugin!
The old plugin maybe had its flaws but it basically got the job done, so I'm a bit curious what motivated you to do so?

[djdembeck]

The roadmap is currently:
Support multi-regions (en) -> support multi-regions (other). There's probably some modularization I need to do on the backend for it. Hope to get it done this week, depending on the scale of what needs to change.

Yep, I had other applications that all were making their own audible calls, and none got all the data they needed. I figured it would be most beneficial to write a single point of contact for all my services

is there any news to this? This currently breaks the audiobookshelf book match feature: advplyr/audiobookshelf#731 (comment)

[djdembeck]

It doesn't break anything, because it's not even a feature.

if this can help, for french for ex, seanap work on a files to find the information on the audible french information to put on the mp3tag
https://github.com/seanap/Plex-Audiobook-Guide/blob/master/mp3tag/data/sources/Audible.fr%23Search%20by%20Album.src

[djdembeck]

Pending upstream implementation then I can get to writing the plugin update: laxamentumtech/audnexus#498

[rabelux]

Awesome! Appreciate it 😃

[Hoempi]

Great news, looking forward to it. Thank you very much!

Going well so far. Here's an author taken from ?region=de:

    "description": "Vom Radio-Unterhalter zum Autor von Psychothrillern – ein Kontrast, wie er sich auch in Sebastian Fitzeks Romanen entfaltet. Alltägliche Situationen entwickeln sich bei ihm zu düsteren Szenarien. Mit „Die Therapie“ gelang ihm 2006 der Durchbruch. Seitdem sind seine Krimis aus den deutschen Bestsellerlisten nicht mehr wegzudenken. 1971 in Berlin geboren, wurde Sebastian Fitzek 2016 als erster deutscher Autor mit dem renommierten „Europäischen Preis für Kriminalliteratur“ ausgezeichnet.Temporeiche Erzählweise Er bedient sich zahlreicher Cliffhanger, die seine packende Erzählweise an den Stil amerikanischer Thriller erinnern lässt. Als Ur - Berliner verlegt er seine Handlungen oft an Schauplätze in Berlin und macht das Grauen damit fast greifbar.Gänsehaut pur Das Erfolgsrezept für Fitzeks literarischen Nervenkitzel ist die Schocktherapie. Aus der Annahme eines Pakets für den Nachbarn oder einem gewöhnlichen Langstreckenflug entwickelt der Autor die Geschichte zu einer Art Worst - Case - Szenario.Er spielt dabei mit Urängsten wie der Verfolgungsangst oder dem Ausgeliefertsein– Themen, die gerade im Hörbuchformat für noch mehr Gänsehautfeeling sorgen.",

}

The Audnexus agent must have a single region/language set as default for auto matching. But I imagine an overriding search for another region/language would be fine.

[djdembeck]

This is all ready to go upstream 🥳 Will try to work on it some this week, as the agent needs a bit of an overhaul to handle searching in the other regions.

[djdembeck]

For anyone feeling adventurous, you can try the new region options in the branch feat-multi-region and follow the PR for progress: #66

[djdembeck]

Multi region support is now live in the develop branch. I've only tested [us] and [uk] regions specifically, so please test it and see what happens :)

[Hoempi]

I have been using it via audiobookshelf for a while now. Works well for me with audible.de. Thanls for making it possible!

Sometimes it is strange that I do not find a German book using audible.de, but using the same author and title I do find it on audible.com. But I would attribute that to Amazon/Audible not being consisten. As with their ASINs, sometimes it is the same for .de and .com and sometimes it differs, even though it si the exact same edition.

[rubbishgee]

Thanks for doing this. But as well with the develop branch and the feat-multi-region branch i don't have any results no matter what i type in and no matter what region i,m using.
