Type of Enhancement

Server Backend

Describe the Feature/Enhancement

It would be nice to have book-wise stats. Simple stats like, how many users listened to it and how many times it was listened to (available to all users). There could be a togglable setting to allow admins to see which users listened to the books as well.

Currently, the only status of the book available is a pillbox that says "Finished (date)" if you have finished it, but it doesn't tell if the books have been read by others.

This could be a mild substitute to ratings system, where at least people on the server can decide to listen to a book based on whether anyone else has or how many times the book has been listened to.

PS: I selected "Server Backend" as the type of enhancement, but it's for both backend and front end.

Why would this be helpful?

  • Would help admins understand which books were read and indirectly assess usage and popularity
  • Would help other users determine if they want to read the book based on the books listening stats

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

Something that is available on the book page (or on hovering over it)

Audiobookshelf Server Version

2.19.0
