Awesome, I am glad the mediainfo workaround seems to work well for everyone! Thanks for the feedback!

It's a nice hack. Though I may research a more portable, integrated way to do a comparable thing in the future if time allows (in 2 years?)… "soft depending" (with fallback) on a third party program from openrepos doesn't feel right in the long run.

Nevertheless, with audiobooks Talefish will not be conquered any time soon.
No worries – I am a big fan of using the right tool for the job and really like where podQast is going – while I am not a regular podcast listener, I did find myself defaulting to podQast as recently as this weekend when my dearest wanted to listen to "something with people talking". It really is not much of a competition there – and even if it were, I'd be glad to inspire someone writing a useful program to enrich the ecosystem.

cheers!
