Audiobook Player

A web player for an OpenAudible library, with user accounts, per-user listening progress synced across devices, and an iPhone-friendly layout. Python 3 standard library only.

Setup

python3 server.py setup          # OpenAudible login the server uses (shared by all accounts)
python3 server.py adduser NAME   # create a player account
python3 server.py serve          # --upstream http://HOST:8000 --port 8080

Then open http://<server-ip>:8080 and sign in. Other commands: users, passwd NAME, deluser NAME.

Only MP3/M4B files can be played in a browser; convert Audible .aax/.aaxc books in OpenAudible first.

Notes

• Credentials and user data live in config.json, users.json, sessions.json, progress_users.json (git-ignored).
• Only read-only OpenAudible endpoints are proxied; admin commands and import are blocked.
• Traffic is plain HTTP. Use a VPN (e.g. Tailscale) or a TLS reverse proxy for access outside your home network.
