Audiobookshelf, watched.
If Audiobookshelf stops, your listening stops mid-chapter. Tillarr checks it from your device and reads its version, so you see a problem before your next commute.
Its status page answers without signing in and names the app, so Tillarr knows it reached Audiobookshelf and not something else on that port.
What you see
- Whether it answers, how quickly, and which address answered
- Its version, read without a key
- A tap to open its own web page
What's next
After 1.0: deeper Audiobookshelf support, planned with the other media and book servers.
Connect Audiobookshelf
What to have ready when you add it in Tillarr.
- Its address. Usually http://your-server:13378. Add a remote address too, and Tillarr uses it when home doesn't answer.
- Nothing else. Watching needs no key and no login, so it's free and can't change anything in Audiobookshelf.
Good to know
- Serving it under a subfolder, such as /audiobookshelf? Include it in the address; the check asks for /status under it.
Behind a sign-in page
If a sign-in page guards Audiobookshelf, let /status through so the check can reach it. The remote access guide shows how.
How Tillarr checks Audiobookshelf
Without a key, Tillarr asks for /status to see that Audiobookshelf is up, and reads its version from the answer. Every request goes from your device straight to your server, never through us.
Questions
Can Tillarr play audiobooks?
No. Tillarr watches your server; Audiobookshelf's apps play your books.
Does Tillarr need my Audiobookshelf login?
No. Watching uses Audiobookshelf's public status page, which also shares its version.
