I created a plugin to generate MP3 from Epubs

[mikemcfly85]

I made a plugin that let you convert the Pub to MP3 using TTS. You have a few options like using different engines (Edge-tts, gtts), Language (for now, only English and Spanish), Genre (Male, female).

You need internet connection to convert, since uses the services to generate the Mp3 and consider that it may take a few minutes to generate, depending of the size of the file. At the end it adds an icon at the right size of the cover indicating that the file was generated. You can get the MP3 from the book folder.
You can get it here: https://github.com/miguelaguero/cali...diobook-plugin

Give it a try, I would love to hear some feedback.

Also, If it gets a good standing, what is the next step to be added in Cakibre's Plugins list?

Hi, I tried the plugin. No audiobook is saved to the book files. I tried it with several books. All were epubs. The cassette icon wasn't added on those books. When I tried Sync All Audiobook Icons, Calibre froze and I had to force shutdown. I am using a small test library of about 5,000 books.

This is from the jobs report for a few books:

I would very much like to try again. It's a great idea.
(PS: I would recommend re-zipping the files so they are not in a folder, or telling users to unzip, then re-zip only the files prior to installing in Calibre).
