Skip books that don't appear in last scan for docker CLI

Open ThomasGeek opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

If you have books in the database that are marked as not in last scan the cli command embeded in the docker still tries to download those books, which will fail. This means that if there are new books that you do want downloaded you need to wait for all of these errors to pass.

You could mark this books as downloaded or something to skip them. However this would mean that if you did in the future purchase the book Libation would not know/try to download it automatically.

I think the best solution for this would be automatically skip these book from the list to try downloading in the first place.

For context, this can come about from using book lending where the account in the past had access to the books but currently does not. If you had a lot of lending books from before you started using libation it can add a noticeable amount of time to downloading new books.

If you did purchase it in the future (or it was added back to audible plus), I don't think Libation sees that as a new book. I expect, in the hypothetical future where this feature exists, that it would cause the books to not be downloaded anyway. At that point it feels like you might as well just mark them as downloaded.

This (full cli features) is one of a number of far-reaching features that have been given a lot of thought for a long time with no commitments. I think it's fair to say we're not intending to do it in the near term.
