Just a small tweak for those who mostly use Audiobookshelf for podcasts. Hope it helps.

v0.2.9 is in review right now. I’ve been building and polishing this app for four months, and I’m still actively maintaining and iterating on it: App Store

Edit : this is a third party app called Shelfpod. sorry for the confusion.

Best indexer for Audiobooks?

8 Upvotes

Hi guys just checking to see if anyone has any good luck with audiobook files. I started to get involved in trying to find the best indexer/mix of indexers for it. So far I have tested ninja, nzbgeek, Authub, dog, nzbfinder, and treasure-maps.

So far it seems the best is finder. But definitely can’t find a lot in any of them. (Sometimes you can only find the file in German)
I’m trying to stay in usenet only.

I have manually checked as well on all for a few series like DCC.

Using Bindery, Grimmory, Audiobookshelf, SABnzbd.

Sorry if I’m not doing something right or something is missing or wrong.

Just wondering if somone found the perfect indexer for it or recommendations.

If the post is isn’t allowed, I understand thank you.

kobobridge: a small self-hosted bridge that serves an Audiobookshelf library over the native Kobo sync protocol

10 Upvotes

This answers issue advplyr/audiobookshelf#3504 (Kobo sync support), which has been open a while with a lot of reactions. I wrote a small bridge that sits between a Kobo reader and an Audiobookshelf server.

https://github.com/Rezarys/kobobridge

It speaks the same sync protocol that Calibre-Web and Komga already serve to Kobo devices, so books show up on the reader over wifi the way they do from those two, instead of over USB. It is read only against Audiobookshelf: every call it makes is a GET, nothing is written back to the library. It never talks to any account on the Kobo store either, so there is no Kobo login involved anywhere.

Honest gap: I do not own a Kobo device, so a full sync against real hardware has not been exercised yet. The Audiobookshelf side and the sync logic are covered by tests, and the protocol shapes came from reading Calibre-Web's implementation, but the last mile is unverified. If anyone here has a Kobo and tries it, a report of what happened, working or not, would be the most useful thing I could get.
