Audiobooks not showing in Apple macOS Music app

Open maichai opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

Audiobooks shown in the web UI Audiobooks section do not show up in the macOS (Catalina 10.15.7) Music app, and also not in the macOS Books app under Audiobooks.

When there exist audiobooks in forked-daapd, then also a playlist "Audiobooks" shows up in the macOS Music app - however, this playlist is empty.

I have no idea what is the right place for the audiobooks to show up (either in the Music app or in the Books app, or in both), and I do not care, as long as they show up somewhere.

PS: I just saw that in the iOS Apple Remote app the audiobooks do not show up in the Playlists section as playlist, but they show up in the Audiobooks section under More.

@maichai, I confirm that on my setup I have the same exact situation.

Added to that, the cover art is all mixed up: I have the cover of one album being used for another one. Not great.
