Audio player won't start

[Gwydiou]

M4b file recognised but file will not start playing possible .net issue

[rstewa]

@Gwydiou Can you upload your metadata.json file for the .m4b file? The following steps will show you how you can find it.

1. Open Audibly
2. Right click on the audiobook in question and a context menu should pop up.
3. Click on the right-most icon. When you hover over it, it should say Open in App Folder

• This should open the file explorer

4. In the file explorer you should see 3 files. The one I want is the one called metadata.json. This will have all the metadata for your book so I can hopefully diagnose what your issue is.

  "Description": "A comet the color of blood and flame cuts across the sky. And from the ancient citadel of Dragonstone to the forbidding shores of Winterfell, chaos reigns. Six factions struggle for control of a divided land and the Iron Throne of the Seven Kingdoms, preparing to stake their claims through tempest, turmoil, and war. \nIt is a tale in which brother plots against brother and the dead rise to walk in the night. Here a princess masquerades as an orphan boy; a knight of the mind prepares a poison for a treacherous sorceress; and wild men descend from the Mountains of the Moon to ravage the countryside. Against a backdrop of incest and fratricide, alchemy and murder, victory may go to the men and women possessed of the coldest steel...and the coldest hearts. For when kings clash, the whole land trembles.",
