Is there anyway to display the status of the m4b concat or multi file zipping operation when choosing to download an audiobook? I think showing a % completion would be useful feedback.

@advplyr commented on GitHub (Dec 21, 2021):

There is a way, but I think it would be a rough estimate. My initial thought is you would probe the output file every second or two and compare with expected values. I agree this would be nice, especially because m4b encodes can take a long time.

That entire download tab needs to be redone and re-thought out.
For example, I want to change the language to "convert", like Calibre. Then you could convert multiple mp3's to an m4b or vice versa.

This implementation has changed now for the zip and for the m4b I don't think there is a reliable way to do this.
