HOW TO SET UP — never mind this if you just use the browser on your phone

Step-by-step (all apps are similar)

  1. Download your chosen app from the links above
  2. Open the app — it'll ask you to add a server
  3. You'll see a connection screen with fields to fill in (see below)
  4. Fill in the server details and tap Connect or Login
  5. Browse (don't forget to check the different libraries) and pick a book, hit play

What to type in each field

Server Type Audiobookshelf
Server URL / Address https://stationarystore.ie
Type this exactly. Include the https:// part.
Username The username Brodawg gave you
Usually your name + dawg, e.g. bobodawg
Password The password Brodawg gave you
Check your messages from Brodawg if you've forgotten
Port Leave blank
Plappa users: When you first open Plappa, choose Audiobookshelf as the server type (not Jellyfin). Then type the server address and your login details. That's it.
ShelfPlayer users: Tap the + button to add a server. Enter the URL and credentials above. ShelfPlayer also supports multiple servers if you ever need that.

TIPS

  1. Sleep timer — set it every night. Your place saves automatically.
  2. Download books over WiFi to listen offline (on the bus, gym, etc.) — this way you're covered if the server is ever down.
  3. Progress syncs across all your devices — phone, tablet, browser
  4. Can't log in? Double-check the server address has https:// at the start
  5. Want a book added? Text Brodawg. He'll sort it.
