Fetch Audio Metadata (GUI Plugin)

Fetch Audio Metadata (GUI Plugin)

Description: This new companion plugin adds a graphical interface for updating metadata of audiobooks already in your Calibre library.

Version: 0.1.22

Released: January 09, 2025

Minimum Calibre Version:
7.0

Platforms: Windows, Linux, macOS

Author: Petrus Vermaak

History: Initial release for the expanded version.

Supported Formats: m4b, m4a, mp3, ogg, opus, flac, wma, mp4, aiff

Features:
  1. Select multiple books to process at once
  2. Choose which metadata fields to update:
    • Title
    • Authors
    • Duration
    • Year
    • Genre
    • Comments
    • Cover Image
  3. Visual progress tracking with percentage complete
  4. Detailed error reporting for any issues encountered
  5. Preserves existing metadata for unselected fields

Important Note: To use the duration feature in either plugin, you must first create a custom column in Calibre:
  1. Go to Preferences → Add your own columns
  2. Create a new custom column with the following settings:
    • Type: Text
    • Heading: Duration
    • Column name: duration
    • Description: Audiobook duration in HH:MM:SS format


Important Note: To use the duration feature, you must first create a custom column in Calibre:
  1. Go to Preferences → Add your own columns
  2. Create a new custom column with the following settings:
    • Type: Text
    • Heading: Duration
    • Column name: duration
    • Description: Audiobook duration in HH:MM:SS format

The plugin will then automatically populate this column with the audiobook's duration when importing or updating metadata.

The plugin handles errors gracefully and provide feedback if any metadata fields couldn't be read or if files are damaged/unsupported. This plugin particularly makes it easy to batch update metadata and see exactly what was updated or if any issues occurred during processing.
