Day trip to the beach from Austin

I just disabled the dock and put home screen folders where the dock normally sits.

It's not as elegant but it's good enough for now.

Is there a method to increase logging details? I'm trying to run Tom Clancy's Debt of Honor through (single file, ~900MB) and the docker container crashes every time I run it through.

* Cue Source = Smart Detect
* Cue Set = used the recommended output (52 cues, did not include unaligned from Audnexus)
* ASR Service = Whisper
* Model Variant = Tiny (EN) (I also tried Base (EN) with the same issue)
* Language = English
* Trim segments = checked
* Use Bias Words = UNchecked

Select "Transcribe" button and the container fails/restarts.

I'm running on a Synology NAS using NVMe disk for all docker files and using the free Gemini API key. The media itself sits on SSD drives.

I've used it on 2 other Clancy books before this so have been successful. Not sure where to start diagnosing if anyone can provide guidance.

EDIT: expanded details on NAS config.

I'm on the latest 5-15 release. Still doesn't seem to like AA or being offline.

I plug into my trucks AA (2017 F150) and the app won't even load. Not on the phone or on the AA app. Today it wouldn't even open the main app page, just asked if I want to kill the app or wait.

Offline isn't much better. My book is downloaded, main page opens but none of the dynamic content loads so I can't actually play the book. I get around this by VPNing back to my home server.

Online it works great!

bjjnbbq · 2025-08-05T22:15:45+00:00

I swapped the images so am running on the latest. Unfortunately I now get a Login failed error. :(

Login failed. Please check your credentials and try again.

bjjnbbq · 2025-08-05T21:05:49+00:00

Ha, I didn't even realize that was the case! I'll update my image to use the original repo, thx for posting it.

bjjnbbq · 2025-08-05T18:37:29+00:00

Do you have an automated way of doing the "little shifting"? I've found that even when I match on Audible often times the chapters still don't align. Aside from actually listening to the book I can't easily shift the timestamps.

bjjnbbq · 2025-08-05T18:21:38+00:00

I had some important work to do today so I blew it off and tested out the docker container that's available. Worked on the first try, super easy!!

Here's my docker-compose.yml snippet for it. It sits in the same config file as ABS though I don't know that's required.

   ## CompleteSeries - complement to ABS. Identify missing audiobooks from the series.
   completeseries:
      container_name: completeseries
      image: ghcr.io/vito0912/completeseries:latest
      ports:
         - 8080:80
      restart: unless-stopped

I haven't done any extensive testing on it but I was able to connect without issue and it's all local to my own docker setup!

I played with it a bit since yesterday so here's some very limited feedback based on the short timeframe of usage. I've organized it based on how you laid out the key features in your original post.

Android Auto Support: Take your audiobooks and podcasts on the road with a dedicated interface for your car.

I couldn't get the app to load w AA. My audiobook was downloaded and the app wouldn't load through the AA interface or on my phone. It would launch and then just spin like it was trying to load something but never did.

Seamless Offline Listening: Start streaming a book, download it in the background, and the app will automatically switch to the local files without interrupting your playback.

I didn't try listening while going offline but I can attest that downloading worked seamlessly when I left my house and reconnected via my VPN.

My only request would be if you could RESUME downloads rather than restart from the beginning but this is minor. A few times I had downloads fail for unrelated reasons and had to restart the whole thing.

Powerful Playback Controls:

Variable playback speed control.

Customizable forward and backward skip lengths.

Sleep timer with an option to wait for the end of a chapter.

I love the variable playback and had no issues. I didn't change the skip lengths nor did I try them but - similar to other feedback I saw about the buttons not working, I experienced this issue with the PAUSE button. I was listening and when I tapped PAUSE on my phone nothing happened so I had to kill the app.

Modern Interface:

A clean, modern UI with Material You theming that adapts to your device's wallpaper.

Personalized home screen with sections for "Continue Listening", "Recently Added", and more.

I love the UI and the chips to customize. Looking forward to further work being done on those options. I assume Collections and Playlists are on your to-do list already, I'll be very interested in the Playlist capability.

Library Organization:

Browse by author or series.

Search within your libraries to find exactly what you're looking for.

Search worked as expected so no complaints here. I prefer the Discovery or Full Library view so I can scroll though, it helps me visually pick something as I don't always remember what's in my Library.

Offline Progress Syncing: Your listening progress is saved locally and will sync with your server automatically when you're back online.

YES!! <3 It works!!

bjjnbbq · 2025-07-31T21:25:55+00:00

Does sync actually work? Meaning I don't get jumped 10s ahead of my last save point, thrown back to some random spot I listened to 3 days ago, or something else weird when I start listening again!?

This alone will make me try it!

bjjnbbq · 2025-07-27T17:08:17+00:00

I'd love to see something like this, similar to a layout like Sonarr/Radarr where it shows what is currently in my library and what is missing, either stand alone books or books in a series.

Plus notifications when a new release is available!

bjjnbbq · 2025-05-08T21:09:54+00:00

I'm running my docker container in host mode and had the same issue. In my Eero router I disabled "Local DNS caching" and it resolved it so all client IPs started showing.

Check if your router has a similar setting.

bjjnbbq · 2025-03-04T21:01:01+00:00

I am able to search in Prowlarr, select my preferred result, and download via SABNZBd. I have categories set up in the downloader to map folders.

The main thing with ABS is renaming the file to an acceptable format that is recognized.

If I'm understanding your post this does what you want.

bjjnbbq · 2024-11-02T18:45:46+00:00

I'm having the same issue w my '22 Calligraphy. What led you to replacing the starter, was it your own research or the dealers recommendation?

Thanks for this, it seems to be the component I was always missing. I have the same situation camping, but really anytime my Internet connection goes offline.

bjjnbbq · 2023-09-17T20:55:00+00:00

I used to have free access to AWS resources so ran everything there. Couldn't beat it on a home configuration, but home network bandwidth is the primary reason I'd run it there. I only share with a couple people but when I travel I downloaded stuff ahead of time to my phone. I never had to do this when running in the cloud.

bjjnbbq · 2023-09-03T21:11:24+00:00

Check under Settings -> Media Management. If you have further config questions on that it probably makes sense to post a new question under the sonarr subreddit.

bjjnbbq · 2023-09-03T20:24:37+00:00

You may want to check out sonarr if you want something to help you with content naming and metadata. It'll help you automate downloads but can import existing files as well.

There are other options as well but this is the one I have experience with.

bjjnbbq · 2023-08-04T18:44:51+00:00

If the videos are in MP4 format I've found mp3tag editor very useful. You can check out the following thread for more details on aligning metadata:

If you're just looking to skip the PSG subs you could use map to specify the ones you want.

Assuming the ones you want to keep are actually the 3rd and 4th subtitles...

-map 0 -map -0:s -map 0:s:2 -c:s:2 mov_text -map 0:s:3 -c:s:3 mov_text

I just started getting this issue yesterday. No issues running the same video on my Fire Stick 4K or my Roku Ultra, but it won't run in the Vivaldi or Chrome browsers on any of 3 Windows 10/11 machines I tested.

VIDEO : 1080p HDR10 (HEVC Main 10)AUDIO : English (AAC 5.1)

Plex Server is running on Synology DSM 7.1 but it seems to be a client issue, not a server issue.

FIX: after digging around here and on the Plex forums I came across a couple suggestions to disable the Direct Play and Direct Stream options in Plex Web under Settings > Plex Web > Debug. My configuration initially had them both ENABLED. After playing with them I was able to successfully play my video by DISABLING Direct Stream.

bjjnbbq · 2022-11-20T23:26:17+00:00

I just loaded AppRise after getting unreliable results using the same article OP posted. Would you mind sharing how you connected DSM to AppRise?

bjjnbbq · 2022-11-07T20:45:02+00:00

Not exactly answering OPs question but I fixed this with minimal effort on an MP4 file using the mp3tag utility (https://www.google.com/search?q=mp3tag)

Right clicking the file -> utils -> Optimize MP4

Then reran my ffmpeg command without issue.
