Hi.
I recently upgraded my unraid with the docker server version 2.0.0. The android app 0.9.40-beta stopped working (empty libraries) the server version showed all libraries so no issues there.

I did a new install (renamed the app folder for audiobookshelf on my unraid to get a fresh install) added the libraries again, then I got some weird issues and error messages and the servers disconnects and gets unresponsive, the docker images stops sometimes or requires a restart.

from the docker error log:

Right... google... lets wait then.
Thanks for the information and the time you invest within the project.

By the way is there any way to know/check before upgrading a docker image to see if it requires a different app-version.
So that one can wait to upgrade the image until the app is released. I might have missed some information..
If not that's totally understandable. This is free and a work in progress! Thanks mate! :)

No this shouldn't happen again. Google must have flagged the app with some issue and it got elevated which is why it is taking so long. Apple approved it right away.

You can uninstall the app and install the APK directly though. https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf-app/releases/tag/v0.9.41-beta
I'm still working on the ability to link your local downloaded audiobooks to audiobooks on your server, but even without that you should be able to view and play your downloaded audiobooks.
The new android app release doesnt require a server anymore to use.

I was having similar issues, but even thru the web interface the docker instance kept crashing, especially when trying to upload new books. Was also having the issue where the app would show no books, then a few books, then no books, then back to the socket errors.

Was it the app connecting in the background that was causing it to crash? or was there a bug of some sort (at least running under Unraid)? I'm running on 1.7 but I really did like the visual improvements of 2.0, so hoping it gets resolved soon.

Thanks for the hard work. Can the new version of the apk work with v 1.7 of the docker app?

No the new app version doesn't work with 1.7. If you are going to install the APK directly then you will need to update the server. Otherwise I recommend just waiting until Google approves it on the play store.

Also please note that if you update the server to v2 then do not downgrade because v2 is running a script that is migrating all your data to the new data model.
Downgrading from v2 to v1.7 will only create more issues.

I ended up rebuilding the whole thing from scratch when I rolled back.

Also had the issues BillThyCat mentioned.
But nabbed your android apk version and rolled back my appdata for migrated 2.0.0 folder and now every thing works fine again! I still have my library intact.
Thanks.

Good news -- the playstore has the latest app version available.

Version is listed as 0.9.41-beta and changelog indicates need for v2.0.0 server or greater.
