Audiobook cuts off at the end of a chapter: what to check
If an audiobook cuts off at the end of a chapter, compare the last words you heard with the source text and check what follows. A stop does not prove that text is missing: one chapter can contain several audio segments. TGRadio prepares further segments as you listen, so the end of available audio may not be the chapter’s actual ending.
Locate the exact stopping point
Note the chapter name, approximate playback position, and last few words. Open the file you originally imported in a separate reading application. Another edition may use different wording or chapter divisions, so start with the actual source.
Check what follows the phrase: a paragraph ending, several more pages, or the next chapter heading. For example, if the voice stops at “he opened the door” but the sentence continues, you have a precise point to investigate. An unfinished thought alone is not enough to establish that something was skipped.
Check the continuation with a network connection
Return to the book and press Play if playback has stopped. Preparing further segments requires a network connection. Importing extracts the text; it does not mean the entire book has already been converted into audio.
Offline playback only includes audio previously saved on that device. If the stop happened offline, connect to the network and try again. Hearing the expected continuation shows that this passage is available, but does not verify the rest of the chapter.
Compare both sides of the transition
Listen to the final sentence and the next chapter’s opening while checking the source. Focus on the words and their order. Pause length and intonation can be misleading: an author may deliberately end a chapter with a short remark or an unfinished thought.
- Check whether the chapter’s final sentence was spoken in full.
- Compare the next chapter’s first words with its opening in the source.
- Note any missing or repeated passage between the two sections.
Distinguish chapter structure from missing text
If the words follow correctly but a heading appears in an unexpected place, inspect the source file. EPUB imports use the spine reading order and internal HTML headings. TXT imports recognise separate lines identifying chapters and parts. A reading app’s page layout may not explain how the file was imported.
If the source itself lacks the passage, edit it outside TGRadio. There is no built-in text editor. For example, you could fix a broken line or misplaced heading in a suitable editor, then add the corrected copy as a separate book.
Record a reproducible problem
If playback repeatedly stops on the same words while connected, note the book, chapter, position, voice, and model. Include the last words heard and the expected continuation. State whether you were listening online or from the offline library.
When contacting support, describe the transition and provide a short excerpt around it. Avoid sending the whole book unnecessarily. Reimporting or changing the voice does not guarantee a fix; first establish whether the passage exists in the source and exactly where playback stops.
