AudioBookshelf
AudioBookshelf is a self-hosted audiobook server for managing and playing your audiobooks.
See Install guides and documentation
Android app is in beta, try it out on the Google Play Store
Free & open source Android/iOS app is in development
Directory Structure
See documentation for directory structure and naming.
Author, Series, Volume Number, Title and Publish Year can all be parsed from your folder structure.
Note: Files in the root directory /audiobooks will be ignored, all audiobooks should be in a directory
1 Folder: /Title/...
2 Folders: /Author/Title/...
3 Folders: /Author/Series/Title/...
Parsing publish year
/1984 - Hackers/...
Will save the publish year as 1984 and the title as Hackers
Parsing volume number (only for series)
/Book 3 - Hackers/...
Will save the volume number as 3 and the title as Hackers
Book Volume Vol Vol. are all supported case insensitive
These combinations will also work:
/Hackers - Vol. 3/...
/1984 - Volume 3 - Hackers/...
/1984 - Hackers Book 3/...
Parsing subtitles (optional in settings)
Title Folder: /Hackers - Heroes of the Computer Revolution/...
Will save the title as Hackers and the subtitle as Heroes of the Computer Revolution
Full example

Becomes:
| Key | Value |
|---|---|
| Author | Steven Levy |
| Series | The Hacker Series |
| Publish Year | 1984 |
