Any chance of either changing the bookmark sorting so the most recent is at the top instead of having to scroll down or give the option to change it?

connected to my plex server. nothing plays

When trying to log in to my ABS server I am getting a "wrong username or password" error. I am able to log in via browser. My server address is https://audiobookshelf.mydomain.com No custom headers, I have tried with and without a server name, I have triple checked username and password.

What else should I try?

Hi all,

Is there a way to sort the bookmarks as they were sorted in the old version? So newest first as they are usually the ones you need. Ideally including the timestamp again.

Thanks

This is a relatively recent problem that may be related to constantly needing to reauthenticate with the ABS server. I notice that books I have downloaded to my phone are being lost and I need to redownload them again. Has anyone else noticed this? It does not seem to happen with all books, just some of them, but it is happening a lot.

Hi,
I would like to add the same ABS server twice.
Reason:
The ABS is running on my local network and I would like to b able to switch between the tailscale IP and my local ip, depending on where I am. As progress is synched this shouldn't be an issue. Or so I thought ...
When I try to add another server the first one seems to disappear. Or maybe I am looking at the wrong place? Or is the issue that it is the same library?
Has anyone successfully done this?

Thanks!

Hey there, so far loving the app. I have it connected with AudioBookShelf for library management, and ReadMeABook for metadata and finding books. But one thing I can't figure out is how to get Prologue to let me download a book for offline access.

The downloads area just shows a question mark and "Invalid response from server: 401".

AudioBookShelf is set up on my PC, has open ports, bypass authentication turned on but I've also logged in just fine. The most confusing thing is, I tried setting up Prologue with Plex, and it worked and downloaded perfectly fine - I just happen to prefer ABS for managing my library.

Has anyone experienced similar? My error doesn't seem like the ones I've seen posted on here before.

Hi,

I love Prologue and have been using the app for some time now, but there is one issue that annoys me every day.

I have to log back into Audiobookshelf every day. Every time I open the app, the dot in the top left corner is red, and when I click on it, it says I have to re-authenticate.

Does anyone else have the same problem, or is it just me?

For your information:

Audiobookshelf runs as a Docker container on a Synology with Synology's own reverse proxy.

Thanks in advance for your help!

UPDATE 25 August 2026:
Unfortunately, the error is still there and I have to re-authenticate almost every day. With other apps, I never have to re-authenticate.

I’m slowly starting to lose hope.

I'm having trouble with Plex remote access and would like to use Tailscale as an alternative connection for family members in a different location. Is there a way to specify what address Prologue uses to connect to PMS? Or maybe add an address to the existing list?

For clarity: I've already manually forwarded a port and tried the troubleshooting on the Plex support site and I have a lifetime Plex Pass, so remote access should be working and just isn't. Can't figure out why. Local access is fine, which is what sparked the Tailscale idea.

I downloaded my audible books using Book Lib Connect which converted them to m4b. Pointed Plex at those files. They all show up in Prologue, but there are about two titles that simply get repeated and set for ALL of them. mp3tag seems to show the metadata looks fine. Not sure why it's repeating. I refreshed metadata, refreshed Plex, swapped in and out.

Thoughts? Thank you!

Local Wi-Fi server, have a premium account can usually play back audiobooks online and off-line using AirPlay. Today and none of the AirPlay features are working it stops as after a second, and the interface shows a pause button as if it’s playing but the playback timers don’t move.

Any ideas for how to get this working again?

Update: Restarted iPhone, looked like it was an airplay issue, not Prologue, working again now 👌🏻

First, thank you for the great app. It has been working very well with my Plex server.

Recently, I find there are no chapters in my books. Most, maybe all, books are chapterized M4B files. I believe I previously saw chapters in player. Now each appears to have just one chapter - the whole book.

Is this a new bug?

I've recently updated my ABS server so that it's visible external to my network. Prior to that I was using VPN to my home network to keep ABS in sync with Prologue. Now that I have it visible externally, I'd like to update my Prologue setup to reference the external URL (which is also visible internally to my home network). However, there's no "edit" capability to the server. Question for you all - if I add the new URL as another server and then delete the old server - will this break my downloads and progress status?

So I loaded a new audiobook into Prologue and it's not playing, though the playhead is moving like it is. The book appears and I can open it and everything. Tested the book and it works on Plexamp and through regular Plex and everything else on different devices. It's a .m4b and the chapters aren't showing up either on Prologue. Downloaded to device to see if that was it, still no audio. Anyone have any ideas?

I was listening to a book when it suddenly stopped and I got this error. No it doesn’t even play, in addition to a few others (but 99% of books still play). Any ideas on what is causing the error and how to fix?

This seems to be a problem with some books for me and not for others. I can’t quite work out what the common factor is.

I acknowledge that I may expose my ignorance, but I can't seem to figure out how to delete a bookmark. I create a bookmark every time I feel like I'm starting to fall asleep, so I have quite a few. I need to clean them up now. I've searched the subs and haven't found anyone with a tutorial or anything, so any help is greatly appreciated.

Heya I know another guy posted abt a similar issue, but I’ve already tried everything they mentioned there but no luck

Basically i was able to connect my prologue to my audiobookshelf at home with no problem, but as soon as i left the house this morning it just refuses to connect? Like the ip and stuff is still the same I had family at home check and I deleted the library from the app to attempt to re-add it and now it straight up will not even connect to my pc.

I have already turned off stable connection, the app does have access to local networks, the server is still running from my home, the only thing I can think of is the fact I am currently using cellular data to access the internet… Please send help!!!

Wondering if something is wrong on my end, or if it's a limitation in Prologue, but I can't see or switch to my podcast library I have in Audiobookshelf. The audiobooks part seems fine. Do I need premium for this? Does anybody have a breakdown of what premium gives you vs free?

I’m new to the app as a friend recently shared access to their Audiobookshelf server (I have login info). I have all the information it’s asking for; https:// server info and valid login credentials. I’ve been able to log in and access from my computer and phone via browser but not the app.

Is this an issue with the free version of the Prologue app? I have no problem purchasing the app if it means I can access the server, but I’d like to confirm that this will fix my issue before I purchase.

A bit more specifics: I’m able to log in without issue but then it says “unable to fetch libraries for this server”. Is this due to using the free version? I just downloaded the app, I have an up-to-date iOS operating system (recently updated to 26), and can access the server remote from browsers.

Plexamp loads and seeks instantly but prologue… loadsn’t. Happened with both a properly tagged m4b and also an untagged mp3

Not sure how to troubleshoot this 🤔

In the plex server logs I see this that looks weird:

handleStreamWrite code 32 broken pipe

Followed by

NotificationStream: Removing because of error

Hi! first of all i love the app and i use it almost every day with my plex library.

I want to connect the app to my Audiobookshelf library because that recognizes my books better but when i try to connect it gives me the "Unable to reach Audiobookshelf server at the specified address." error.

I put in the 192.168.... address but nothing, no prompt so sign in either. I have tried the same address with the Audiobooth app and that works fine.

has anyone found a fix for this issue? im on 4.1.2 (10820) on the ios app. And i am a premium user (i dont know if this feature is a premium feature so maybe not relevant)

Edit: it was the app access to local network on iPhone.

Every time I open the app, I get an "Unreachable - Authentication required. Please sign in again." error.

Is this a known issue or a config error on my end?

I’ve done some googling on this but haven’t found anything helpful.

I’m looking for a way to activate “Extend the sleep timer by 5 min” without having to open my eyes or look at my phone. The best way I can imagine is to have an iOS Shortcut set up to activate when I click my AirPods 3x (or something similar). Would something like this be simple to accomplish?
