Describe the feature/enhancement

i hope it is possible to make the converting tool global, instead for each book individual. I mean that i didnt need to navigate to each book and select the tool individual, instead a tool where i can multi select books i want to convert should be nice

Or even just an option "Auto Convert Uploads to m4b" would be handy

Yes, whether imported or scanned. Also ability to to mass update metadata after too. Even chapters if the match is close enough.

Yes, I think this would be a very cool feature. There are many apps out there that do this, none very intuitive/automated. This would solve the intuitive issue and having a multi-select/auto-convert uploads option would be ideal.

Auto-Convert already existing audiobooks

I built a python script that allows you to start m4b converting for a single book using selenium.
You can call the script with a libraryItemId (I use a cronjob that starts a bash-script that collects the next libraryItemId from a txt-file)

The bash-script counts the running ffmpeg-processes (one uses 1 cpu) and starts a new m4b-convert process through the python script every 15 minutes, if there is enough cpu's left.
I have 2 separate cronjobs that cleanup the metadata mp3-backups two times a day.

Hope this is useful to some of you:
