v1.9.3-237

Beta 5

Scan Series

  • Upcoming Releases is now Scan Series: a quick scan for upcoming books, or a deep scan that also finds missing books across every series
  • Scans learn which series are finished and skip them, so repeat scans take a fraction of the time
  • Get a notification the day a tracked book releases
  • Long-press to select several books and request or remove them together
  • Link a series by pasting its Audible ASIN when it can't be matched, and a scan report shows what was checked, skipped, or unmatched
  • The skipped list opens its actions with a tap and supports multi-select
  • Series scanning now works for Audible regions the metadata service doesn't cover, by falling back to the US catalog

Cross-device sync

  • Progress made on other devices catches up when you come back to the app, even for events missed while it was in the background
  • The paused player follows along too, so the card and resume point match where you left off elsewhere
  • Books finished on another device leave Absorbing right away
  • Progress reaches the server every 20 seconds instead of every minute

New

  • Cover size setting: small, medium, or large covers across the library, with tablets scaling to match and labels growing with the covers
  • Sort podcast episodes by publish date, title, season, episode number, or file name, in either direction
  • Reset or extend the sleep timer with a headphone button press during the wind-down
  • French language option, plus the latest community translations
  • Remove a book's cover and leave it with none
  • Pick several books on home or in the library and quick match, mark, or delete them at once
  • Admin: scan schedules, metadata source ordering, a server logs screen, and podcast episode limits
  • Admin: every Audible region can be picked as a library's metadata provider, plus custom providers from your server

Improved

  • The generated title card shows on the home shelves and no longer gets cut off on small covers
  • Bookmark, history, and chapter times show at your playback speed
  • Progress numbers stay readable on tinted home cards

Fix

  • A book's percentage on the server no longer drifts away from your actual listening position
  • Now Playing no longer sticks on the last chapter when rereading a finished book
  • Streams no longer cut out for a few seconds every hour
  • A stuck player no longer banks hours you never listened or drags your place in a book backwards
  • Chromecast reconnects after a background drop instead of dying for good
  • The companion ebook downloads with the audiobook, so Read works offline
