The ways we are interacting with a tutorial, audiobook, movie, or TV series are all very different, and it takes work to bend Plex to be a good fit with all these scenarios. It’s been a long journey and I hope to accelerate your own learning curve. Over the past decade I went back and forth between Plex and Emby as my media server of choice but eventually settled on the former after I switched my server from my desktop PC to an Nvidia Shield, then to a Docker container in a Synology NAS. I have 150TB+ in Plex organized in a dozen different libraries, learned a lot along the way, and will share my notes in this entry.

The nice thing with using Audnexus, is that it adds proper sort tags so that series show up in the proper order.ĮDIT 1: This was inspired by this Github post: ĮDIT 2: The App I use it called Audiobook Builder, not Audiobook Maker.It’s very easy to get started with Plex to handle a simple movie or TV show collection, but as you add different types of content and grow your libraries, it becomes more and more complicated to keep everything tidy and easy to use. If you're not in the Apple ecosystem, I'm sure tools exist for steps 1 and 4. Prologue will give you all the features you expect from an audiobook player, remember playback position, speed up and slow down with pitch correction, and bookmarking. On your iPhone, install Prologue and hook it up to your Plex server. Install the Audnexus agent ( ) and use that for metadata for the audiobook library Make sure the book has the proper book name and the author.Ĭreate a new music library and make sure 'Store Track Progress' is checked, and prefer local metadata is unchecked. Use AudiobookMaker AudiobookBuilder for Mac to merge all the audiobook files into 1 big m4b file.
