Hi,

Books with German umlauts like ä, ö and ü can't be downloaded.
I use the here mentioned docker container.

Errormessage

As I read in the openaudible issues that there has been an issue with the local settings, I looked up the one in the container.
Those are the one set here:

LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

So there should be now issues at all...

But I just can't download the books.

tried multiple times, reset container ect. unable to login to account to sync books.
Keeps asking for captcha challenges and when it does ask for mobile authentication it fails.

also outdated version present in container

Is there a way to change the User ID and Group ID of the user that is writing files onto mounted volumes for config/library files?

I tried setting PUID, PGID as stated in the linuxserver/webtop documentation but without luck.

Still all files written to the config folder will result in a user with id 911.

Fresh Install - Unable to start openaudible. Receive error message for missing setup.sh. Checked and missing.
Manually transferred to correct locations and received 2nd error message.

Is it possible to download with a directory structure, preferably configurable, like so:

/Author Name/Series (if series)/Book Number (if numbered) - Book Title.m4b

Now I just have a list of 'title.m4b' and that means I'm going to have to spend a ton of time organizing them.

Thank you for this container. How can I install the older version of openaudible in Docker?

Thanks in advance!

Description of problem
I'm getting an "Error refreshing library." I've logged in and out like it wants me to, but I'm also getting another error with the app elsewhere with my books.json file. I store the books on an external drive as I have over 1k. It's not seeing some books that were added to my account despite trying a full and quick sync. Not a biggie, just thought I'd report it.

Json Error at launch:

I just bought a license -- on reboot the docker container wiped out all my settings and when I tried to reactivate with my license -- it's rejected.

Clearly something is very broken. I just paid for a broken product it seems.

TLDR: The version[1] of OpenAudible in Docker that I am(was) running caused my entire network stack to fail by trying to upload 900+Mbps . Details below.

I am not even sure where to begin with this, so I will try my best.

The other day, I woke up to my Ubiquiti Dream Machine Pro reporting High Ping and Packet Loss.

Everything on Wi-Fi was not working. I did some basic troubleshooting, rebooting the modem, hard wiring directly into the modem, etc. No dice. So I drove to Best Buy and got a new modem. Issue persisted after new modem was activated.

Called Spectrum Internet and got them to send a tech out as well as to overnight me a new modem since I knew they would not troubleshoot a 3rd party one. Tech comes out and determines that the Coax coming into my house was "extremely noisy" (?) and would need to be replaced. So they replaced the cable coming into my office. (Note: At this point, everything in my network stack was turned off and disconnected) After powering back on the Spectrum modem, the internet is working and consistently stable while hardwired into my Mac. Tech leaves.

I then power my Dream Machine Pro back on and connect it back to the modem. The Wi-Fi comes back online. Everything seems to be working. I am pinging google.com on multiple machines in order to observe any drop outs. As soon as I plug the Synology back into my UDM, I start to see Wi-Fi issues almost immediately.

In order to troubleshoot as best as I can, I hardwire into the Synology and kill all programs and Docker containers. Wi-FI comes back up and is stable. So one by one, I turn on all the natIve apps, no issue appears. So I go to Portainer and start turning on Containers, get to OpenAudible, turn it on and bam Wi-Fi goes down. Upon killing the OpenAudible container, things stabilize again.

I was going to wipe the container, but figured I should open an issue first. Please ask if you need me to provide additional details.

Perhaps experiment with Ubuntu Kiosk Mode, to disable terminal, su, etc? OpenAudible and system file browser.

Disable anything but OpenAudible window?
I've been using baseimage-rdesktop-web instead of the full webtop to accomplish this, basically copied how the linuxserver/sqlitebrowser is built.

Only downside I've found; if you close the application window within the browser, the container needs to be restarted to pull it back up (as there's no visible desktop).

Adding a file to /etc/cont-init.d/ to install OpenAudible when the container is started the first time.
Deleting/remaking the container will then install the newest version.

It may be helpful to add documentation for the GUIAUTOSTART variable.

Adding GUIAUTOSTART=1 to docker-compose.yml will let openaudible run without requiring a client to connect to the webui. This is helpful to automatically pull new books with a simple restart of the container after enabling auto download and auto convert in openaudible.

unknown shorthand flag: 'g' in -g`
See 'docker run --help'.

just installed newest version openaudible docker and got error above when running command in instruction. Will try app image.
