Feature Requests!

[quantumlump]

Obviously no expectation that you do these but here are some requests!

1. Batch processing - Allow for loading in multiple books so that the app starts working on the next book immediately
2. Do not reset the UI on refresh - Right now if I mistakenly reload the web UI, it resets to the default screen (even though the tts is still working in the terminal). This means I can't download the file once it is done from the web UI (have to find it in the Docker files lol)
3. Ability to set a default output folder for the audiobooks (automatic downloading)

Thx!

1. it's done on the next version
2. todo indeed. I started to develop it but not happy from the result and retracted the modif. we should go deeper to find a good compromise.
3. it's done on the next version, output folder where all conversion go will be audiobooks/cli, audiobooks/gui/[gradio|host]

[quantumlump]

Awesome! Another huge addition would be the ability to use the new F5-TTS model. It seems to have less hallucinations.

[DrewThomasson]

Good idea! 👍

• We do plan on integrating other tts services into ebook2audiobook.
• But it's being put on the back-end until we figure out a standardized way of integrating many different tts engines into ebook2audiobook

[quantumlump]

Best of luck!

About request #2 though,

#38

• Are you not able to click the download audiobooks button in the GUI to load download links to all the generated audiobook files in the output folder?

• Cause that button should just show everything in the output folder? Irrespective of if the web gui session was re-loaded or not? 🤔

Example from hugging face GUI demo ⬇️

[quantumlump]

Okay that is awesome, I never thought about clicking that button 😅. Maybe those should load automatically or work like a drop down menu in the UI? Or maybe I should learn to read better lol

[ROBERT-MCDOWELL]

@scriptpony it's on the way also in the next version

[DrewThomasson]

Short answer: gradio is extremely restrictive in reloading anything in the gui.

• Easiest is to just give the user a reload/update button at the moment lol

I'll look at renaming the button to make it more clear on what it does tho lol,

• That would probs help

[DrewThomasson]

Perhaps renamed to

"View Completed Audiobooks" ? 🤔

• Or "View Created Audiobooks?"

What do you think? Any suggestions?

[ROBERT-MCDOWELL]

or show converted files

[quantumlump]

Show converted files or audiobooks would make most sense to me!

[DrewThomasson]

Changed to "Show Converted Files"

for this git shard
