Type of Enhancement

Web Interface/Frontend

Describe the Feature/Enhancement

Currently when you add a Custom Metadata provider you can manually search using this, but you cannot set the Metadata Provider in the Library view to the custom provider.

Why would this be helpful?

Allow you to have a custom provider for a particular library for example Big Finish on a library that is exclusive with their books.

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

Dropdown should be amended to include any custom metadata providers configured under Settings - Custom Metadata Providers

Audiobookshelf Server Version

v2.17.7

Current Implementation (Screenshot)

Settings - Library - Edit - Details

This is supported and I think it has been supported since custom metadata providers were first added. Can you check again?

Hi advplyr

I am now on v2.21.0 but the issue is the same, when I go to Settings - Library - Edit - Details and use the dropdown none of the custom metadata providers are showing in my list.

I have

Google Books
OpenLibrary
Itunes
Audible (10 countries)
Fantlab.ru

Even creating a new library doesn't give me the option to select the custom metadata as the provider.

Am I missing something?

This actually wasn't working correctly but will be fixed in the next release
