Description of the bug

Audio books don't support file formats such as MP3s/aacs etc.
Neither does Metadata collection work, nor does playing of it works.

And using Music does detect it but sadly doesn't have a "already played" option included or a "resume" option either.

And yes i do follow the correct structure of "SourceFolder/AudioBooks/Book Title/MP3sFiles"

Reproduction steps

  • 1: Create a Book section
  • 2: Create a Audio Folder inside the section
  • 3: Put in MP3s in the correct way
  • 4: Realize that Jellyfin can't play them anymore.

What is the current bug behavior?

MP3s can't be played with audio books.
Even so audio books can be technically in any audio format ^^"

What is the expected correct behavior?

That MP3 files were supported.
But honestly Audio books should be their own section that work like videos. Just for audio.

Jellyfin Server version

10.10.0+

(I Know synology isn't supported but this isn't a Hardware issue but more of a Design choice)

Jellyfin logs

No logs, the files are detected and metadata is downloaded but there is simply a error called:
"Error Caused during the Process, please try again later" (Most likely mistranslated but its a standardized error anyways)

@theguymadmax Yes MP3 are supported as audio books by playback.
But there is no: "Which chapter did you stop at" functionality.

@theguymadmax ok turns out my issue is a duplicate.
My issue i am referring to is effectively: #8010
What i am asking/reporting is: There is no checkbox for already watched/heard like Video/Movies have it.

This is really something that needs to be addressed!
