What is the size of the mp3 files you're combining, what is the bitrate of the conversation, and what are you running ABS on?
Is there a time limit for ffmpeg configured in abs ? I checked the command which abs is using to convert the playbook. When I start the process manually (within docker) the process ends successful and the playbook is ok.
There are limits that are specified by the respective device. Here is an excerpt from the homepage from audiobookbuilder:

Many Apple devices are still limited to files with approximately 2 billion audio samples or less. This translates into roughly 27 hours for Audiobook Builder's Low Quality preset (22.05 kHz), 18 hours for its Normal Quality preset (32 kHz) and 13 hours for its High Quality preset (44.1 kHz). The lower the audio sample rate the longer your parts can be. It's possible to reach a maximum part length of 74 hours by selecting the Custom... Quality option and choosing an 8 kHz sample rate. Files that exceed the 2 billion sample limit will not play properly on some devices.
I've encountered this also with very long books like Atlas Shrugged and Hitler: A Biography. In one case I was trying to combine 4 .m4b files into a single .m4b. In the other case it was .mp3 files. Both cases I ended up having to rm
the files and replace them with the originals again.
The device didn't seem to matter. Even just the ABS scanner would spit out an error message in the logs, and VLC wouldn't open them, etc.
Describe the issue
Hi, I have a playbook in mp3 with a length of 50hr. When I convert this book to m4b the audiobook is defect. It is the first time that this happened and the only different is the size/length of the audiobook compared with my others.
I tried the ffmpeg prope command:
