As of recent releases, bookshelf can scan Author and other select roles from an ebook/audiobook metadata.
Calibre allows the user to define custom columns for a variety of metadata.
Among these, the user can specify that a column contains a person's name (or list thereof).
This is the most straightforward way to include a field for translator, editor, foreword author, etc
For example, if I wanted to add a "Translator" field to my Calibre library metadata I would go to:
Preferences > Add your own columns > Add custom column
and there select the following:
Column type: "Comma separated text, like tags, shown in the tag browser"
Contain names: yes
Column heading: Translator
Lookup name: whatever
... and leave the rest blank
Then the newly added Translator field can be edited from the GUI.
If I then change the default blank value to a name (or a comma-separated list), Calibre will add a line to the corresponding metadata.opf, which ends up looking like the following two examples:
https://pastebin.com/h0iMCeYkhttps://pastebin.com/sMDyra4D
The line that is added is a bit verbose, but the relevant metadata can be extracted as follows:
https://pastebin.com/xzt1w7Rx
(apologies for posting a script in Python rather than C#, but I am not familiar with the latter)
Could parsing of these fields be added to Jellyfin Bookshelf, and shown in the "People" section at the bottom of the ebook page?
