--combine works for mp3, but if --output-format m4b is used in addition, only the first chapter is saved about audiobook-dl HOT 8 OPEN

It's because the library I use for adding chapters does not support m4b files. It should work with mp3 files, also if you use --combine.

hi - thanks. makes sense.

from audiobook-dl.

I have made a temporary fix. It just requires ffmpeg. Please tell me if you have any problems.

Hi - it didn't work for me, unfortunately. It converted all to m4b and then combined to a file of only the first chapter.

I tried again. Hope it works now.

sadly not :( this is what I see. Could it be something on my end?

Could it be something on my end?

I think it is. It looks like there is a file it can't find. Maybe try uninstalling and installing it again? You could also try running it directly with python -m audiobookdl [options] <url>.

thanks. I'll look into it. I tried the direct command, but different error. I think I'll stick to auto-m4b for now, as that's working well on a docker. Thanks so much for trying to resolve this for me! Hope it helps other people :)
