Where Does the Content Come From?

Audiobooks and podcasts are stored on an NFS share (robin.home.nest:/yarr/media/audiobooks). New content is added by:

Shelfmark — Users can request audiobooks directly through Shelfmark, which automatically populates the Audiobookshelf library.
Admin upload — The admin may add audiobooks manually to the NFS share.

If you have personal audiobook files you'd like to add, ask an admin about mounting your own directory.

Shelfmark — Request audiobooks (populated into Audiobookshelf library)
Calibre-Web — For e-books instead of audiobooks
