Feature Request: Parse opf file for metadata about m4b-tool HOT 9 CLOSED

Is this the specification, you are talking about?
http://www.idpf.org/epub/20/spec/OPF_2.0.1_draft.htm

If so, could you provide an example file, that i could start with? Does not matter which language, but it should include as much data fields as possible for testing.

from m4b-tool.

Yup I'm pretty sure that is the one! Github won't let me attach that format so I converted to a txt so that github will accept it.

metadata.txt

Nice. Thank you. I'll check it in the next days.

Ok, should work... Perhaps some Tags are missing, but most of your example file is implemented. Important: Tag-Titles of mp3 files are preferred at the moment. Perhaps this is something I need to change.
Here is a testing build:

m4b-tool.tar.gz

from m4b-tool.

Short question, since there was no feedback: Did it work? :-)

from m4b-tool.

Like a dream! Works great! This tool (plus mp4chaps) combined with calibre have upped my audiobook library game a ton.

from m4b-tool.

This is great news. Then i will integrated it in the next official release.

You say:

plus mp4chaps

Since m4b-tool already uses mp4chaps, are you using mp4chaps for?
(I'm very interested into user workflows since this is something that always can be improved)

Perhaps you did not notice, that you can just put a chapters.txt besides the metadata.opf and mp4chaps is used automatically to create the chapters for you - see https://github.com/sandreas/m4b-tool#step-3---chapters fixed chapters for details.

I use it to change the chapter names. So if I already have an m4b file:

mp4chaps -x book.m4b
change the chapter names
mp4chaps -i book.m4b

Or if I have mp3 files to merge I let m4btool get me all the right times, but then change the names and then import them with mp4chaps

Ah I see :-) Thank you for your quick feedback.
