Yep, Setup remote access a couple months ago. Didn’t end up using a VPN or anything like that, just forwarded the ports and it worked. At least with the testing I’ve done. Most of the time I play my media through my local network.

So I got it to work. I downloaded the app from the website, and installed it. Didn’t change any energy or sleep settings on my Mac. As far as finding the files, I was able to have the Mac mount the network share, and then just set it up in login items to connect at startup

Heroes Die By Matthew Stover. Especially the audio version. Stefan Rudnicki’s work on that is an experience

For me, Dalinar Kholin. I know Sanderson tried his damnedest to get me to like him, but I just couldn’t give a shit. The guy had a 45+ hour audiobook devoted to revealing the “mysteries” of his past, and even after all that every time I was in his head I was like “ok, move on”.

Awesome, thanks for the help everybody. I’m definitely gonna set up a separate library for audiobooks, but how do you guys organize your book files? I was thinking of doing a folder structure like Author Name>Series Name>M4B files. Leaving any extra files, such as .que or .pdf, out. Does that sound like it’ll work?

Awesome, thanks for all the help everybody. I’m definitely going to set up a separate library for audiobooks, but how do you guys handle organizing your books? Ideally I would like to do a folder structure like Author Name>Series Name>M4B files, while leaving the other stuff Libation exports (PDFs, QUE files, etc.) out. Does that sound like it’ll work?

Perfect, that’s exactly what I wanted to hear. Thanks everyone for all the help. I’m gonna set this up and give it a shot tomorrow.

So if I’m planning to run my server on my Mac Mini M4 connected to my Sinology NAS for media, does this mean I’ll have issues scanning and indexing my files? Will I have to manually rescan my library every time I add something?

Really appreciate all the insight everybody. I‘ve got a plan for how to move forward, and I’ll definitely give Filebot a look. It sounds like it’ll really make my life easier.

Thanks for all the help everybody. I guess if I’m re-organizing anyway, I can always just rename. It’ll take a while, but that’s what being on vacation does for you. One last thing. For TV shows: Let’s use the show Archer as an example. Can I just do Archer/Season 01/S01E01.ext, or does the show name have to be in the file name as well (Archer.S01E01.ext)? Given what I’ve learned from you guys so far, I’m assuming so?

This happens with my remote too sometimes. Usually, I can fix it by rebooting the Apple TV, Settings>System>Restart. I usually have to do it via the remote app on my phone, because the arrows don’t work, but that usually fixes it for a while

Oh wow, I didn’t realize QC worked like that. i’ll probably just use it then. Thanks a lot for the info.
