Soeben kam die neue Version von CLAUDIO, meiner App für Audiobooks, Podcasts und Musik, in den AppStore. Erstes Feedback der Accessibility-Initiative ist enthalten (danke nochmal allen fürs Teilen und natürlich das erhaltene Feedback!), mehr kommt mit der nächsten Version irgendwann Ende nächster Woche. Abgesehen davon habe ich Probleme bei höheren Abspielgeschwindigkeiten behoben und ein paar SMB-Probleme.

📝 Designing a listen later pipeline #development #webdev #tech #rss #preact #golang #audio #audiobookshelf

I've had this long, long running relationship with bookmarking and read it later services. I'll commit to one, excited about whatever feature set it offers and then, without fail, my list grows and grows and grows and grows. I archive things to reset, repeat and then move to a different service. The only thing that's...

hmm I think #Pocketcast is a bit better as a #Podcast client than #AudioBookshelf.

The queue, skip silence, auto downloading episodes in the queue and chapters make a better feeling.

trying Audiobooks next (don't ask why I set up AudioBookshelf but test Podcast support first ... I think I was just surprised that it supports podcasts, too)

#Audiobookshelf is now up and runngin including all my #Podcasts (which I added one by one - and in the end noticed that I could have ex-imported all at once via OPML ... 🙈)

Let's see if I also want to use it as podcast player instead of #pocketcast

Question for the #SelfHosted community: I set up #AudioBookShelf to manage podcasts across platforms and devices. The one thing missing: An iOS app that allows me to cast to Google devices. Does such a thing exist? I'd like to replace Pocket Casts, but this is a needed feature.

Hot damn. All setup for secure access on #audiobookshelf via #Letsencrypt and #cloudflare The Cloudflare took a bit of figuring out but I got it. The lets encrypt took 20 minutes with the help of Claude. I give AI shit but this would have probably taken me a day or two to sus out with the documentation for certbot, nginx and trial and error.
Anyone know if there is any way of extending authorization beyond just 30 days. I don't want to need to reauthorize someone every 30 days. Also I'm assuming the minute the IP changes (Going from WIFI to cellular or the reverse on a phone.) The authorization would fail.

I set up #audiobookshelf and I started to listen to my first audiobook.
And since it has a podcasts feature I'm also picking up an old Podcast I used to listen to called #WelcomeToNightvale

@kuketzblog Allen, die sich nicht scheuen so etwas selbst anzupacken, kann ich nur wärmstens #Navidrome empfehlen und wer gerne Podcasts oder Hörbücher hört, dem empfehle ich #Audiobookshelf (als iOS Client bietet sich z.B. #Plappa an). Man sollte und muß sich unabhängig von Großkonzernen machen wo immer es möglich ist. Schöner Nebeneffekt, man wird nicht dümmer, wenn man sich mit der Technik beschäftigt.

Today I added a #podcast library to my #audiobookshelf installation and imported my favourite podcasts.

I have a particular taste in podcasts, I like fiction. My favourites are audio dramas that are structured more like an old radio serial or tv series. With seasons and episodes that you're supposed to follow in order.

Most podcasts apps adopted a different behaviour, they want always to fetch and show you the latest episodes of a show.

Overcast, which was an app I used on iOS, has the horrible behaviour of skipping undownloaded episodes all the way to the most recent one. Which often caused me to listen to spoilers as it suddenly jumped multiple seasons in its quest to show you the most recent stuff.

Frustrated with that, I made a podcast player for BlogCat.

https://blogcat.org

It understands fiction and will show an interface with selectors for seasons and episodes not unlike a video streaming service. It won't jump to the most recent episode, it will always play the next episode to the one you're listening.

It serves me well.

So why did I added a podcast library to audiobookshelf? Well, because I want to listen to things on my phone while walking and BlogCat is a Firefox Add-On.

Even though audiobookshelf seems to be working fine, the ux to select episodes doesn't really take into account seasons and shows everything in an unified list. That's a bummer.

Guess, maybe I need to make BlogCat into a standalone app.

Question for all the other #selfhosting peeps: has anyone got any suggestions for setting up a #WAF in front of your services? Currently I’m relying on #haproxy on my #pfsense appliance, but a web application firewall would make me feel a bit safer.

Self-hosted audiobook and podcast server.

#Audiobookshelf verwaltet die eigenen Hörbücher und Podcast. Das Verwaltungsprogramm führt dabei viele automatisierte Befehle zuverlässig im Hintergrund aus, ohne den Benutzer zu informieren.
Mit der eingebauten Benachrichtigungsfunktion von Audiobookshelf lassen sich über #Apprise Nachrichten an #Gotify senden.

I recently discovered #Audiobookshelf, which, together with the #AudioBooth app, it seems to me like the perfect combination for taking another step toward breaking free from big companies' cloud services and regaining control of our libraries.

Ah, the #selfhosting journey continues… Last week was getting #Navidrome up and running with #feishin and #nautiline. Today it’s #audiobookshelf and getting my head round the world of #docker 🤯

Ich finde #Calibre ist eine schreckliche Software, aber leider schafft es #Audiobookshelf nicht, bei meinem Büchern den Fortschritt richtig zu speichern. Also schweren Herzens wieder zurück. 😞

Ich überlege mir einen e-book reader zu kaufen.
Ich weiß kindl ist ungeil aber was nimmt man stattdessen?

Ich hätte gerne etwas das funktioniert und wo ich e-books von überall her drauf nutzen kann.

Ich habe zb einen Calibre-Webserver.

Seit meiner Teenagerzeit lese ich fast gar nicht mehr und würde das gerne ändern.

Cool wäre vllt wenn es einen Sync zum Hörbuch (Audiobookshelf) gäbe?!

#kindl #ebook #calibre #audiobookshelf #calibreweb

Edit: Danke. Es ist ein Pocketbook InkPad One geworden.

Feeling rather chuffed with myself. I’ve set up a #RaspberryPi to act as an RSS aggregator, a read it later service and a podcast catcher all in the one.

Reason: so I can use open source apps on both iOS and Android devices AND keep everything in sync.

That I even need and have made a diagram of the infrastructure for this site speaks to how over-engineered it is. Yet, while it is ostensibly a personal site, it's a personal site that's replaced many services that I previously used.

@marcoarment I’m a subscriber of Overcast to support. However, for some time now I use audiobookshelf to maintain my podcast library. And Overcast and ABS don’t play along nice. But I’ll keep my subscription :)

Could/would you add support for ABS? The current RSS feed described by ABS is just to much of a hassle :)
