I'm confident the devs will get to this as soon as they can. There are plenty of people that want this feature but the amount of people that need audiobook support is much smaller than those impacted by other feature work. Just like any feature it needs to be prioritized.

I'm waiting for some rich audiobook support as well. You know the thing you say I can access and play. This shouldn't be considered a wish list item because it is media. I don't understand why this is called a media player (take your media anywhere) when its really just a video player with some audio support. Emby doesn't give a crap about audiobook support cuz they see it as a perk. The only problem is the screen will not timeout and go dark. if you want that) it will play and resume perfectly. mpg, make a new library and add your audio files as TV shows (you must make your own thumbnail's. If you change the audiophile extension from. OK, this can not be all that hard for the developer. But even then I'd rather time be spent on saving local progress than changing download directories if I had my choice. Unless we get the option to download where we wish. To update this, it turns out that Android 11 removes access to your /sdcard/Android/data library folder so now downloading through emby is 100% useless for audiobooks unless you downgrade to A10 (which would not be feasible if you have a device that shipped with 11). Try listening to Wheel of Time offline see how well that works for you. Like OK so I guess I will use emby to download the book offline and play it in a different player that is actually functional because my choice is either use my data or start my book over every time I play it. To this day if I download an audiobook offline it starts over every single time, only streaming through the library (the online version) saves progress. Some things are nitpicky (playback speed) but some things are relatively breaking.
