First of, thanks for you app, stumbled upon it a few days ago and it's really great.

But I had one question, have you thoughts about audiobook support in the App?
The libraries are already shown in the app, but when clicking on a book entry, it only shows the title, a play button and the other (trailer, checkmark, heart) buttons. When clicking any of these, the app crashes, which is totally fine as its currently not implemented.

As you probably know, audiobook libraries have to be a "book"-type instead of music (which are not displayed at all, so music is out of scope for this app), so this would be a bit different than the movie/series libraries, but other than that it should be pretty similar, as audiobooks also have a checkmark for already watched episodes and a bookmark for the current progress of the episode, just like TV-Series.

What do you think about this? :)
Would be great to have a great looking one-stop app for Jellyfin to watch movies and also listen to audiobooks, as the current Jellyfin app is somewhat limited considering audiobooks, which you probably could do better as you are native

Sorry for this long text and thanks again

Edit: Just saw on my Homescreen on the bottom under "Latest Audiobooks" that there are single episodes of a series listed, so the app seems to be able to grab episodes and metadata from Jellyfin for audiobooks, so I guess it would just be a matter of adding the episodes to the Series listing and playing them?

Thanks for the feedback!

Support for audiobooks is something I didn't think about but would be great!
With that said I will first focus on a solid experience for movies and series. I removed the audiobooks section from the home & media screens in the next update.

But I will leave this issue open so expect an update on this in the future!
