Hangs on download error
I recently had an account error where a book was in my library but not downloadable (for unrelated reasons).
audible-cli didn't seem to handle this well. With the --all flag, it would download all legal targets, issuing errors and skipping existing files as appropriate, but then just hang indefinitely until interrupted.
Here's an abbreviated stack trace
$ audible download --all --aaxc
...
<other successful downloads>
...
error: The Wealth of Nations is not downloadable.
error: City of Light: The Traveler's Gate Trilogy, Volume 3 is not downloadable.
error: The Crimson Vault: The Traveler's Gate Trilogy, Volume 2 is not downloadable.
<hangs here>

Aborted!

Not a high priority issue, but I figured you'd like to have the info.
Hi. Thank you for this information. The code should not hang here, just skip the item. I will look on this.
FYI: You don’t have the right to consume these titles offline. Maybe these are streamable only? These is the reason for the issue but not why it’s hang.
The reason for the error is that Audible removed the titles from their Plus catalog, so I no longer had rights to them. I was able to sort it out with amazon support thankfully.
Is this related to the fact that audible-cli can't resume after a ctrl-z ? I'm running audible-cli thru cygwin on a Windows 10 base, like this:
audible download -o downloads/aaxc/ --all --aax-fallback
I paused it with ctrl-z, but when I later tried to 'fg' it, it took over the foreground but never downloaded another file, nor terminated, nor printed anything to the terminal.
Do you have the same issue if you download an book with --aaxc instead of --aax-fallback
@philgoetz
Can you try out the same with option --timeout 0? The new downloader class of audible-cli makes now a HEAD request to collect some information from the server. The response for this HEAD request will take 1 - 2 minutes for aax files. For aaxc files this take only some ms. Therefore the client will timeout without an exception. Why ever?!
@philgoetz Can you try out the same with option
--timeout 0?
I did, and it resumed correctly!
I have another problem more-similar to that of the original poster: a crash on a file which is not downloadable
File /cygdrive/d/data/audio_/Audible/downloads/aaxc/How_to_See_Looking_Talking_and_Thinking_About_Art-AAX_22_64.aaxc already exists. Skip download. error: Fundamental Principles of the Metaphysics of Morals is not downloadable.
Fundamental Principles etc. is listed on audible.com as a title available for purchase, but when viewed within my library, it says it is "Unavailable". After I click on 'Unavailable' for more info, a popup appears saying "Check that your Audible membership isn’t cancelled or paused. If it isn't, this title may not be available anymore."
I think this is a title which I added to my library when it was temporarily free, and which isn't free anymore. There will be many such files in my library.
Also @philgoetz you might have some luck reaching out to Audible support to have those titles permanently added to your library. I had "purchased" a couple free titles that stopped being free, and they added them to my account when I asked. YMMV.
You can try to provide the
--ignore-errorsoption.
I removed all those titles, and provided --ignore-errors, and successfully downloaded everything.

Aw, too late. I just removed them all. But thanks.
