Chapters are off about m4b-tool HOT 5 CLOSED

Hey there,

thank you for reporting. To analyse this, i would need the following things:

• Which operating system are you using / did you use the docker image?
• What command did you use? (e.g. m4b-tool merge data/book --output-file=test.m4b)
• What kind of files did you merge? (e.g. mp3, m4a, flac...)

As soon as i get this information, i can try to reproduce the problem...

from m4b-tool.

Which operating system are you using / did you use the docker image?

Docker image on fedora 30

What command did you use? (e.g. m4b-tool merge data/book --output-file=test.m4b)

m4b-tool merge -v --jobs=2 --output-file="output/" "input/" 

m4b-tool being the alias from the readme

What kind of files did you merge? (e.g. mp3, m4a, flac...)

mp3

Thank you.

Sounds like a file specific issue - I maybe require the files to reproduce the problem, but before that i'll check your use case with some of my samples.

One thing i did not test, is providing a directory for the --output-file="output/", usually you would specify a filename - e.g. --output-file="output/merged.m4b", but that can't be the problem in my opinion.

I'll get back to you when I know more.

I can indeed confirm a little offset on my testing set... (in my case it is about 1,5 seconds on file 300). I also noticed, that it should not be possible to start a "simple" merge providing a directory as output.

This is something i have to investigate further, because i can't remember this happening in older m4b-tool versions... unfortunately this might take some time.

First of all: Thank you very much for reporting this, i did not notice the problem. Now it should be fixed for the next release. In the meantime, here is a bleeding edge version that should work:

m4b-tool.tar.gz

To use it in the docker image, you could to the following:

mkdir /tmp/m4b-tool && \
	wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sandreas/m4b-tool/master/Dockerfile -O /tmp/m4b-tool/Dockerfile && 
	docker build --build-arg M4B_TOOL_DOWNLOAD_LINK=https://github.com/sandreas/m4b-tool/files/3488793/m4b-tool.tar.gz /tmp/m4b-tool/ -t m4b-tool

Feedback is welcome, i hope it works for you, too... if it still does not work, please reopen the issue.
