kikootwo 9dd09ec836 Add multi-source ebook search & processing
Refactor ebook flow to support multiple sources (Anna's Archive direct downloads + Prowlarr indexer search) and unify handling with existing audiobook processors. Key changes:
- search-ebook.processor: rewritten to try Anna's Archive first then fall back to indexer search, add Prowlarr grouping, ranking (rankEbookTorrents), and handlers to route results to direct-download or download-torrent flows.
- organize-files.processor: enriches audiobook/ebook metadata from AudibleCache (year, narrator), treats indexer downloads specially (seed retention), adds optional NZB cleanup/archive logic, and improves retryable error detection.
- file-organizer: organizeEbook now accepts additional metadata and an isIndexerDownload flag and supports directories vs single-file paths.
- API/UI: include request.type in admin requests API and remove the “coming soon” notice from Ebook settings tab.
- fetch-ebook route: removed blocking error for indexer-only mode so the flow can proceed when indexer search is enabled.
- Documentation: update TOC, ebook-sidecar, settings-pages, and ranking-algorithm docs to describe indexer search, unified ebook ranking, configuration, and flows.
These changes enable indexer-based ebook discovery, ranking, and downloads while preserving existing Anna's Archive behavior and reusing audiobook download processors where possible.

ReadMeABook - Audiobook Library Management

Status: MVP Complete (Phases 1-4 ) | Docker deployment pending

Stack

  • Frontend: Next.js 14+, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS
  • Backend: Node.js/Express via Next.js API routes
  • Database: PostgreSQL (Docker embedded)
  • Queue: Bull + Redis (Docker embedded)
  • Deployment: Single Docker image

Architecture

Docker Container
├── Next.js App (Frontend + Backend)
├── PostgreSQL (users, audiobooks, requests, config, jobs)
├── Bull Queue + Redis (background jobs)
└── Volumes: /config, /downloads, /media

External integrations: Plex (auth + library), Prowlarr/Jackett (indexers), qBittorrent/Transmission (downloads), Audible (metadata scraping)

Core Features (Implemented)

  • Plex OAuth authentication
  • Setup wizard (8 steps: admin, Plex, Prowlarr, download client, paths)
  • Audiobook discovery (popular, new releases via Audible scraping)
  • Request management with status tracking
  • Automation pipeline: search → download → organize → Plex scan
  • Admin dashboard with metrics, active downloads, recent requests
  • Settings pages (Plex, Prowlarr, download client, paths)
  • Scheduled jobs (Plex scan, Audible refresh, retry logic, cleanup)
  • User/admin RBAC

User Flow

  1. Login with Plex → 2. Search/browse audiobooks → 3. Request → 4. Auto: search indexers → download torrent → organize files → scan Plex → 5. Available in Plex library
