Want to mark a book as played, but curiously on book level the checkmark icon to mark as played / unplayed is missing:
no checkmark icon

The option is also missing when clicken the …:
no mark played option

Currently

To work around this, users have to go into the book and mark every single chapter as played, which can be very time consuming.

Expected

Option to mark played / unplayed should be available on author + book level.

I'm have the same or a similar problem. As described in the issue I can't mark the audiobook as played.
But it seems to me (based on the notifications I received and based on the dashboard entries) that jellyfin detects each chapter as its own book.

My file structure is as follows:

 book
 └── audiobooks
    └── marc-elsberg
       └── blackout
          ├── chapter01.mp3
          ├── chapter02.mp3
          ├── chapter03.mp3
          ├── …

This issue affects me as well. Another symptom I have is that the Latest in {library} section on the homepage lists each chapter instead of the whole audiobook.

@iyzana why not file a separate issue for that? I agree the listing on latest in library should be per book and not per track or chapter. And although it may be related it is another problem which should be tracked separately to avoid confusion. You can then crosslink the two issues.

I'd say it is just another symptom of the same problem. And with both symptoms listed here it's easier to track. If it turns out that they are unrelated I will open a separate issue.

Just wanted to add, audiobooks showing per track is an issue for me as well. Would be great if this could be improved in a future release.

The issue is about having no UI to mark a book as played / unplayed when on book level. On track level of a book, each track has the played / unplayed checkmark icon, although Mark Played / Unplayed is missing from the … menu.

It would be great to have an option to mark a book as played / unplayed on book level without having to go to track level and individually mark all tracks of a book as played.

There are more requests than seen in the screenshot. Not quite sure how that relates to the feature request:
