I was actually searching for this exact idea like two weeks ago, and came up empty handed. Sometimes things do work out, I guess.
For the unaware, there’s an app called Prologue, which allows you to listen to audiobooks on a Plex server. Plex notably doesn’t have native audiobook support… The first-party PlexAmp app doesn’t support chapters, for instance. You can have the library remember your listening progress, but that doesn’t help much with a book audio file is 12 hours long. As a workaround, Prologue uses Plex’s service to access the files, then is able to read the chapter data from the m4a/m4b file.
