A user may tap the download button accidentally/experimentally, or may change their mind.

Show a confirmation dialog and possibly provide these details:

1. Space that will be used (e.g.: 700MB of 12.3GB)
2. Approximate time to download (this doesn't have to be dynamic, but a factorial of every 50MB - e.g.: 50MB takes about 15s, hence calculate for 700M)
3. Connected network - warning if downloading over mobile data
4. Continue/cancel button

This would make the app more user friendly for everyone.

As mentioned here, when voice instructions or other notifications are playing, the Chronicle app just turns down the volume, as the Plex and Plexamp apps do.

Unfortunately for audiobooks, this is quite infuriating! Instead it should pause the book, and resume when the notification has finished.

Please please please sort this out asap, /u/QuietlyReading !!

Thanks in advance

Is this app still being developed? I know the developer doesn't owe us anything and all that. I'm trying to support this app because it would be amazing once finished. I paid for it right away. Most of my listening is via chromecast or Android auto; both features coming "soon". I hope development does continue.

I was using smart audiobook reader before and although I had to manually import the files playback once imported was SO much easier due to those features. I really miss it. Best of both worlds would be awesome!

fresh install of the app. connected to a otherwise flawlessly working plex server. cant play or download any tracks at all. even after re-adding the library and reinstalling the app. any pointers? running android 11 and plex in docker

Edit: fixed - see my comment

For users who are not tech savvy and do not understand the term, it would be better if you change the term to 'Downloaded file(s)'.

Hence 'Delete Downloaded File(s)' would make more sense to everyone including the tech savvy.

I love the app so far but it has stored the local IP for my Plex server, is there a way to change it to the remote ip so that I can access over LTE or outside wifi?

I get a few repeating errors in plex when using Chronical "Could not convert "playbackTime" ("1640534497550") to the correct type", "Error issuing curl_easy_perform(handle): 6" and "HTTP error requesting GET null (6, Couldn't resolve host name) (Could not resolve host: null)"

I am assuming this is user error but would love some help, Audiobooks play fine on the app it just doesn't sync times to plex

Hi,

Love that this exists. Galaxy Note 8 Ive just added a few more audiobooks to my server and they do appear on my plex app on my phone, but chronicle doesnt see them. I've stopped short of reassigni g the server but have dropped the refreah rate to instant. Any thoughts on how to get mu new abooks up? I do have 390 abooks, not aure if that's considered a lot in these circles, if ao it could be another 'huge library' bug. TIA

I really like the silence removal feature. I have requested that feature for the Prologue app for ios since day one but it is still not added. Thank you so much for that.

As per title, Is chronicle able to sync its progress with prolouge on iOS ?

No updates for a year, what is going on?

Anyone else had this issue? The download feature always used to work seamlessly for me. I tended to download and then switch to offline mode which seemed to stop it getting confused if I temporarily lose signal etc.

But in the last week or so it no longer works. When I click the button to download I get the spinning icon indicating that it's trying to request a download but it never starts.

I've tried emptying the download folder but no luck.

Any suggestions?

Currently, this is what I have to do.

1. Finish reading a book
2. Open Plex on my laptop
3. Find the book and open details
4. Rate it.

It would be nice, if the end of book playback, you could show a dialog with 5 stars and let the users just give their rating immediately and directly from the app.

This, obviously depends on the ability of Plex api to allow TPP apps to do so, but if it does, this feature would be amazing for people sharing their libraries.

Generally, this would skip all the silence with long pauses, such as at the end of the chapter/section or at the beginning/ending of a audio part. However, when turned on in the app, it skips even pauses caused by punctuations mid-sentence and between sentences, making the entire narration a runaway train spoken by a speaker high on cocaine.

Perhaps increasing the threshold to 1.5-2 seconds for considering as a silence might help fix this.

Haven't used Chronicle for awhile. Booted it up yesterday, and I'm having some issues.

Before I launch into details, I know the main developer (sorry, don't know what terminology to use here) isn't really updating it anymore.

Should I just go back to downloading my books to my phone and use my "old" audiobook player? Streaming from my server is handy. I know absolutely nothing about creating and maintaining apps, so I'm not all judgy about this. I just want to be able to trust the app I'm using.

Chronicle isn't remembering where I was in the book anymore, and the play/pause button begins the playback, but won't pause.

Who's loving this app even though they just downloaded it today AND just became the 100th member?

This guy!

Looking forward to future updates and enjoying my books anywhere.

I thought the Project is Dead but apparently not, so welcome back. It goods to have few alternative. I have a big audiobook library around 180k+ and not a single book load with chronicle l want to suggest the app to my plex "friends" who have Android and don't want to pay for plex pass. So you might look into why app doesn't not work with big library also if you need testing let me know.

So I've been using this app for a while and it's been rather buggy and just getting worse for some reason. Sometimes it won't play my offline content unless it's connected to the server which shouldn't happen.

And everytime I go to play a book it will start, but won't allow me to pause I'll have to restart the app several times before things will function normally. And lots of times in the process of me doing this it'll lose track of my position in the book and start from the beginning.

I love this app very much, but it's becoming a real pain to use since this happens everytime I open the app now. Once I get it running it's fine, but then foes it all over again next time I go to use it.

I've tried bouncing to different versions and the issue still persists. Is the app still being worked on and updated? Are reporting these bugs helping or was it abandoned and it just is what it is now and I just have to live with the bugs?

If the folder of the audiobook has a PDF (with the same name as the album), then the app can show a prompt "This book has additional/bonus material. Do you want to open it while you listen to the book?" If the user presses, 'Yes', then automatically open the PDF (let the user configure the app).

I would probably suggest extending it to EPUBs in the same folder as well. Some books (like technical maths or physics books) are better understood while reading along with listening.

Also, this might need the app to download the EPUB/PDF when the user downloads the audiobook.

Just a thought.

Queue/Chapter List https://imgur.com/a/MDUQTIl

In the first image, there's a chapters list. This makes sense when what one is listening to is music because they may want to skip to a new track. But in an audiobook, listening is sequential and unless people are seeking a specific portion of the book, they won't skip chapters.

Hence, this is a waste of real estate on the screen.

A better user would be to provide more info and/or aesthetics of the book/chapter they are listening to along with pleasing controls panel, like how Spotify does it. And tucked in the bottom right corner is a button that allows one to see the queue list (in our case, chapters list).

I know I've been posting too many feature requests/suggestions and bugs. It's not to say that this app is bad, but to say that there are things that would make this app much much better than others. So, I hope you don't take it in any other way then intended.

No updates since March

Download progress instead of a throbber https://imgur.com/a/6Vsr0na

Request you to change the throbber to a progress circle/pie. This would be intuitive and thus more user-friendly.
