Type of Enhancement

Web Interface/Frontend

Describe the Feature/Enhancement

Currently, if a metadata provider (e.g. Audible.de) does not return a result, you need to manually select another metadata provider and retry the search, if that does not return a result .. repeat.

It would be nice to have an option to set a metadata provider hierarchy that gets queried in a defined order (like the library scanner priorities).

My personal idea would be to do this only in cases where the currently queried provider does not return any results, as to not needlessly query multiple providers.

In my personal use case, often something is not listed on Audible.de but will get a (less detailed, but at least somewhat complete) match from itunes.

Why would this be helpful?

This would reduce the manual effort to match library items in the case of the primary source not having any metadata available

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

Similar to the Library scanner priorities

Audiobookshelf Server Version

2.19.5

Current Implementation (Screenshot)
