Richard R 9b9206f50d refactor(audiobooks): migrate audiobook pipeline to object storage
This commit restructures the audiobook generation and serving layer to rely exclusively on S3-compatible blob storage, removing the dependency on local filesystem paths.

- Bundle `ffmpeg` and `ffprobe` binaries via npm to ensure portability across environments.
- Update API routes to stream audio directly from blob storage instead of local disk.
- Remove legacy migration endpoints and filesystem-based indexing logic.
- Add startup scripts to facilitate the transition from local to remote storage.

BREAKING CHANGE: Audiobook functionality is now strictly dependent on S3 configuration. The previous filesystem-based storage method has been removed.

title: TTS Providers
---
OpenReader WebUI supports OpenAI-compatible TTS providers through a common API shape.
## Supported provider patterns
- OpenAI API
- DeepInfra
- Kokoro-FastAPI
- Orpheus-FastAPI
- Custom OpenAI-compatible endpoints
## Provider dropdown behavior
In Settings, the provider dropdown includes:
- `OpenAI`
- `Deepinfra`
- `Custom OpenAI-Like` (for Kokoro, Orpheus, and other compatible endpoints)
`API_BASE` guidance:
- For `OpenAI` and `Deepinfra`, OpenReader auto-fills the default endpoint.
- For `Custom OpenAI-Like`, set `API_BASE` to your server endpoint.
- In practice, you usually only set `API_BASE` when using a provider/endpoint that is not directly covered by the built-in dropdown defaults.
## Custom provider compatibility
For custom providers, OpenReader expects these endpoints:
- `GET /v1/audio/voices`
- `POST /v1/audio/speech`
If your provider exposes this interface, it can be used as an OpenAI-compatible TTS backend.
## Setup flow
1. Select your provider in the OpenReader Settings modal.
2. If using `Custom OpenAI-Like` (or overriding a default), set `API_BASE`.
3. Set `API_KEY` if required by your provider.
4. Choose model and voice.
