Originally created by @JKamsker on GitHub (Jan 9, 2022).

ffprobe for my audiobooks from audible gives me following:

    series          : Bobiverse
    series-part     : 3
    ASIN            : 3837146618
    track-language  : german
    spoken-language : german
    LANGUAGE        : german

  • language
    Can you add language to the search parameters? (It's custom/non standard but something like that would be very useful)
    Somehow, ffmpeg doesn't echo out ----:com.apple.iTunes:language, so we would have to find an alternative key.
    I thought about "LANGUAGE" or spoken-language
    Im also not sure about wether or not we should use ISO 639-1, ISO 639-2 or no standard.

  • ASIN
    To gather more information from the audible servers later if necessary

  • DateAdded/AddedAt
    Overrides the value generated from Audiobookshelf.
    This allows for a better integration of my synchronizer (https://github.com/JKamsker/AudibleSyncService).
    I would like to see my audiobooks sorted by the date i bought them on audible
    Suggested formats: DD-MMM-YYYY (01-Jan-2010) or YYYY-MM-DD (2010-12-24)

@advplyr commented on GitHub (Jan 10, 2022):

Just released v1.6.56 with support for language and ASIN meta tags.

Language tags on audio files can be either language or lang (case-insensitive)

ASIN tags on audio files can be asin (case-insensitive)

Note: the scanner actually only checks the first audio file after sorting, this might need to be adjusted but I suspect most people use the same meta tags for every audio file. To clarify, all audio files are probed but only the first audio file is used to set the book details.

Added to details:

ASIN is searchable:

Language is added as a filter option

ASIN is shown when matching with audible

Woha really didnt expect such an incredible fast implementation time :D
You are Great :)

Can i somehow modify the Added At parameter, to sort it by buydate from audible?

@advplyr commented on GitHub (Jan 10, 2022):

For the DateAdded/AddedAt are you using existing ID3 tags for these?
I wasn't sure whether this should override the addedAt field already on the audiobook, or if it should be a separate field.

There is another issue open suggesting to use the created time from the filesystem to set the addedAt, but I'm not sure about that either.

My idea would override the addedAt value, no seperate field.

Its not carved in stone, its just that I want to sort by
buydate.

I would do it via the tags, but im open for alternatives.

I could also introduce a BuyDate-tag if you could add this to the sorting column...

The fs thing...meh... Unintended file manipulation would fu** things up

Just a heads up I had to re-deploy that version because of the typo.

I'll see if I can think of a way to handle the date, maybe adding another field is best.

The purchased date field won't be supported at this time but this could change in the future. I'm trying to clean up the issues right now so they are manageable.
