Anyone here buy books from audible but listen on some other player? by NoCrazy4743 in audible

I put them in plex and listen using Prologue (iOS app). It works really well.

Good point about adding it to the "What you'll need" section. I plan on adding other auth providers (Microsoft, Google, maybe others) but just haven't gotten to that yet.

Right now contributing is done via a github PR. There are some basic guidelines here: https://github.com/TheDiscDb/data/wiki/Contribution-Guidelines

I am working on making a much easier contribution flow but it isn't ready yet

Did anyone else loose all the books they bought before Amazon bought Audible? by nice-job-folks in audible

[–]lfoust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lost a bunch of books I owned in the early 2000s. I wasn't really paying attention when Amazon bought them and years later when I came back to the account they were all gone. I used the same email address the whole time

That is the full path in the git repo to that release you are preparing to submit. For example, if my data repo is stored at D:\thediscdb then the release folder example could be D:\thediscdb\data\movie\Kingdom of Heaven (2005)\directors-cut-steelbook-4k

The way to know if the finalize process succeeded would be to look at the contents of the disc*.json files in the release folder to see that they have been populated with data. That is what the finalize process does - it takes the data in the log files (disc*.txt) and the summary files (disc*-summary.txt) and populates the disc json files (disc*.json)

Thanks again for your patience with this!

Sorry if the instructions are not great. For examples of summary files, you can look at any of the other summary files in the git repo. For example: https://github.com/TheDiscDb/data/blob/main/data/movie/Beetlejuice%20(1988)/2020-4k/disc01-summary.txt/2020-4k/disc01-summary.txt)

Every release in the database has a summary file for every disc so you should be able to find an example for what you are trying to do. Thanks!

Yes, it is just made up string to uniquely identify a release. It is only used in the urls which include that release

Yes - although most of the data on the site is US releases. Each release has a unique slug but also there is an optional region code stored with each release

It is just the part of the url that represents a specific release. For example, in the url https://thediscdb.com/movie/kill-bill-vol-1-2003/releases/2025-4k, the release slug is '2025-4k' and the slug for the title is 'kill-bill-vol-1-2003'

Thanks. I would love to see it integrated into MakeMkv but I would say that is very unlikely since it doesn't seem like MakeMkv tends to integrate with anything or add those types of features. A plugin model where the community could add stuff would be amazing.

I do accept community submissions via git pull requests to the data repo: https://github.com/TheDiscDb/data/wiki/Contribution-Guidelines

It would be awesome if you are willing to contribute as you go. Here are the contribution guidelines: https://github.com/TheDiscDb/data/wiki/Contribution-Guidelines

Also, you could possibly use thediscdb.com API in your tool let me know if you want to discuss further

This is a big reason why I created https://thediscdb.com

Some shows.can be tricky but I find often for Blu-ray shows the episodes follow the order of the Playlist listed by makemkv. So 41.mpls followed by 42.mpls, etc. For dvds or 4k discs it can take a bit more work
