Not finding audiobooks unless i search for author and book name

Open StefanDorschu opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

I'm happily using the plugin but in general it does not find the correct audiobooks unless i search for (command E) author and book name.

As i am from germany i am trying to tag german audio books. Maybe this is the reason? Is there a way to optimize it?

The plugin works best when the source material has the album set to the book name and the artist set to the author. That makes it so that the queries use the author and book title from the data.

Thanks for your quick reply.

Is there a way to make the search more flexible? See my example in the attached image.

Probably not, because the order that results are given is the same as the order of results when you use the search box on the Audible website.

The plugin works the way it does because of this and I found that using author and title gave the best results.
