Ah I didn’t know about the android logs. Next time it happens I’ll check them. Normally I’m not near access to the server when it happens.

I just tried to force android to kill it but I opened up 20 other apps and when I switched back it was still active so I guess I’ll just have to wait.

I’ve looked and looked and can’t find this “log” entry? By global settings, you mean tap the menu at the top right and tap settings?

Good to know. I wonder what the issue is. It has always done it, for the year or more I’ve used it.

Yip that’s the other mentioned app. I’ll try to remember to use it next time I am listening to something.

Thanks for the tip, unfortunately I don’t use Plex I’m on the Jellyfin side but someone pointed out there’s another app connected to Audiobookshelf so I will use that next time.

Ooh thanks for the reminder. It’s installed on my phone but I’ve never actually used it. I think I forget to use it when it comes to actually listening.

F-Droid. Might be relevant that I’m on GrapheneOS.

I love Audiobookshelf, my main complaint is the Android app crashes when killed by Android (so when I try to open it I get a message about it crashing and then have to reopen it). That might just be a me thing.

I used the tool Libation to download my Audible books. There was a Firefox extension to download audiobooks from Libby but it’s no longer working because Libby changed something and the dev didn’t have time to fight the battle, anyone have a good solution to that?

The thing is, they spent those years building out the voice assistant support. That was probably a better use of their time than reworking the entire interface to work with a TV remote, in my opinion.

They are a small team with a lot of help from the community. You can’t tell the community what to do since they volunteer their time, and the small team has a focused road map that I think makes sense.

I bet you could find another 100 examples of things not done for 5 years, it’s just this is the one you in particular want.

I treat Immich like a frontend. I have photos in Nextcloud, plus local and remote backup (1 2 3 style). Then Immich is set to absorb the photos from Nextcloud, and the photos are exposed read-only to Immich so it can’t damage anything.

Haha this was my first thought too.

Immich is very clear: “⚠️ Do not use the app as the only way to store your photos and videos.”

In that case, you have your content elsewhere. Make a backup of relevant volumes and a database dump (for your albums and such) and then try updating. Roll back if it doesn’t work. If if you don’t have much in the way of Immich meta data, and the upgrade didn’t work, then you could just start from scratch and re-import your content.
