Describe the issue

I have "Audible.de" configured as metadata provider.
image

It works fine for book metadata, but for author metadata I get an English description.
I would expect an German description (like on the audible.de author page - it exists by the way ;) )

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Configure "Audible.de" as metadata provider
  2. Add an non english book (e.g. https://www.audible.de/pd/Natrium-Chlorid-Hoerbuch/B09KCHY49B )
  3. Click on the author ("Jussi Adler-Olsen") and click the "QuickMatch" Button
  4. English metadata is loaded (instead of the metadata from https://www.audible.de/author/Jussi-Adler-Olsen/B0043BVIJE )

Audiobookshelf version

2.2.14

How are you running audiobookshelf?

Docker

ah it seems that you are getting the author metadata not from audible but from: api.audnex.us

according to their docu we should append a ?region=de.

But in my case with B0043BVIJE I also get an english result...

Yeah Audible doesn't give any author information in there API. Audnexus gets that info from Audible so maybe you could look to see if they have implemented multi-region support for authors. They only recently added multi-region support.

Right now Abs is only setup for region us for authors but we can update that if audnexus supports it.
