📄 Description

Brief summary

This improves the m4b encoder tool default values and the UI/UX on the audiobook tools page.

Which issue is fixed?

Fixes #4169 and fixes #1257

In-depth Description

M4b tool improvements:

  • Default to copy codec if all audio file codecs are AAC
  • Select closest bit rate to one of 32k, 64k, 128k, 192k (instead of always 128k potentially increasing the size)
  • Use mono channel if all audio files are mono (instead of always stereo)
  • UI improvements
    • Better breakpoints for mobile and small screens
    • Use card with tabs for presets/advanced
    • Show bit rate, channels, and codec in the audio tracks table
    • Show the current bit rate, channels and codec below the presets (bit rate is averaged & channels use the max)

The preset defaults are best explained in the screenshots below.

Screenshots

When audio tracks are mp3's the default is to encode to AAC

When not all audio track codecs are the same the default is to encode to AAC.
Note the bit rate rounds up to the nearest, this can be improved to add more presets

When all audio tracks are AAC then default to copy (don't re-encode).

When all audio tracks are mono channel then default to mono (if mixed the default is stereo)
