Support for Audiobooks #31

Open jwillikers opened 2 years ago

jwillikers commented 2 years ago

Does Jellycli support playing back Audiobooks? Attempting to stream either a FLAC or M4B (AAC) encoded file from my Book library to Jellycli results in nothing happening. I assume this is at least in part to the fact that my device is configured to use my Music library. I didn't see support for the AAC codec mentioned in the README, so that might be a consideration since it's a popular encoding for audiobooks from Audible.

AAC is not supported yet due to the fact that last time I checked about a year ago, there was really no suitable AAC-encoder written with Golang. It's possible that this has changed by now. As for audio books that are in FLAC format, I'm not really sure how they should be handled from Jellyfin's side and whether they are seen as just music tracks or something completely else. I'll have to take a look at this later.
