Type of Enhancement

None

Describe the Feature/Enhancement

Some of my books have different cover art for each chapter, but in audiobookshelf it only shows the first picture for all chapters. Maybe something to add down the line? (: (My iPod Nano 7th gen support this, the same goes for apples own Books app on iPhone and Mac)

Why would this be helpful?

Should be selv explanatory.

Is each chapter its own file, or how is each image stored?

I have tried both to have separate files with separate album cover art, and a merged m4b with separate cover art per chapter. None of the two work with audiobookshelf, and only show the cover art of the first chapter.

To merge into a single .m4b that works as it should on iPod/books app, I have used “Audiobook Builder 2”, and just drop in all the chapters and export to a new m4b, and end up with a book that changes cover with each chapter.

edit: to clarify. I tried putting all the chapters in a folder so it imports as a single book in audiobookshelf and also tried importing the merged m4b from “audiobook builder 2”.

edit 2: The artwork is stored as metadata, inside the mp3/m4b files mentioned.
