Just wondering if you've thought of making it so that it all chapters/books in a collection are all marked as red to have it show on the main page also

Anybody could tell me if this software is dead?

I mean, without maintenance and without upgrades.

I cannot currently remember exactly how to connect friends’ Chunky apps to my ubooquity server. What’s frustrating is:

My own chunky was set up to connect to ubooquity ages ago, and works! But Chunky doesn’t really let you see the details of the settings, so I have no idea how it is configured.

I can log on to the web version!

I have tried an exhausting number of combinations:

domain:port

Added http:// and https://

Added /opds-comics and /opds-comics/

Added /ubooquity/opds-comics

Tried IP number address instead of no-ip domain

Tried admin login instead of user login

Please help, it’s driving me crazy

I'm not at all against mentioning alternatives to Ubooquity, we all love books and ways to manage them here, and having several tools do it is good.

But a full promotional post for Kavita, without even asking first is crossing a line for me. This is not the right place.

Hope you'll understand.

With large collections, it can be tricky to remember where I left off. Would be awesome if there was a way to have a read comic easy to identify.

Hi

Ubooquity supports comicsinfo.xml to display comics metadata.

But my comics doesn’t have these xml files.

Is anybody know a place we can download these comicsinfo files ?

As it look like there will be removed easy support for Java in DSM 7 (or at least it is removed in version 7.0-41882) and Ubooquity need it to be able to run I been looking if someone in Synology user community created replacement Java package.

And fortunately there is Rednoah's Java Installer.

It can be accessed on this URL https://github.com/rednoah/java-installerwhere is short description how to add it as package source in Package Center.

Unfortunately on mine DS2413+ installation from there failed but I haven't given up and downloaded most current version of spk package to computer and then uploaded it in Package center as Manual Installation. That have been successful and after some time installer reported Java installed.

I downloaded spk from https://github.com/rednoah/java-installer/releases/download/2.16/java-installer_2.16-dsm7.spk (but this URL will be most likely obsolete soon and it might be better to find most up to date url in syno-dsm7.json file on Rednoah's GitHub)

And I just had to replace path to java binaries in conf file (if used) from

/var/packages/Java8/target/j2sdk-image/bin

to path where java-installer downloaded new java

/var/packages/java-installer/target/bin

and mine home Ubooquity service is back on

To learn the ubooqity schema and test out my very rusty SQL I'm using RazorSQL. I log in with the name "SA" and no password. I can see all the sessions with "select * from PUBLIC.SESSION" but when I try "select * from PUBLIC.COMICS" only the table schema shows up in the header and no data. I thought maybe it's too many rows so I limit it with "limit 10" and still no rows show up. Any ideas how I can get access to all the comic titles and associated IDs?

The plan is to look up the Comic IDs that are needed for story arcs supported by themes (like Comixology2). The name of the comics rarely change, but sometimes on scanning the IDs do change. Also, making story arcs by bookmarking all the comics in a given arc, downloading the json.cbr, and then editing it is tedious. Figure making it more automated based on Title, volume, issue number would be simpler.  

I guess ultimately story arc support in Ubooquity would be the ideal solution. 

Thanks, 

I’m running ubooquity on windows 10, I cannot connect to the server on the Chunky comic iPad app. I put in the address like I access on my iPad normally. username admin and the password I set. However it wont connect and fails 

Hi,

So I made a small python script like the previous one that keep track of you "bookmark/favorite" folders/path in the browser.

I keep my comics in a lot of folders and sub folders so with this addition is to easier to keep track of the series you are currently reading.

All the files can be found below.

I have divided the "themes" in 3 different variants.

Both the themes that have the bookmarks/favorites feature need the python script to work, i have only compiled it to an .exe for windows.

The original script is also included if you would like to compile it for any other OS, hope it works for other than windows.

The themes are not complete sins i don't fancy sending unnecessary files.

You will have to go into the admin GUI (for example http://192.168.X.X:2203/admin) and create a new theme.

Then you go your Ubooquity install directory and drop the 2 javascript files into your new theme folder that is in the "themes" folder, or your currently used theme if you haven't modified the "themeScript.js" file.

I have only modified the "themeScript.js" file of the theme and the jquery file is to shorten the code needed compared to write it in native javascript.

Here is an image of the admin GUI and where you need to make the new theme if needed.

Hers is screenshoot of what the themes and python script/program adds:

The readprogress (left part of the image) relies only on what the default Ubooquity provides and don't need any additional files, it loops through all the comics that is on the screen and asks the built in API how many pages there are and what your current page is and if it's above 0 it shows it accordingly.

The bookmarks/favorites script/program file (.exe) must be run on the same server/computer that runs the ubooquity sins browsers don't like mixing domains and I haven't invested time into looking if it could be run from another server/computer.

And the javascript in the theme tries to reach the bookmarks server at the same IP as you are browsing your comics.

The bookmarks/favorites script sends a request to the pythonfile at port 2204 (sins the default port is 2202 and 2203 i put it at 2204) and asks for any current paths for your bookmarks/favorites.

Then if you press the old "random" button you get the popup shown in the middle of the above image where you can input a name for your bookmark and it will send the name and current path in your browser to the pythonfile that saves it in the bookmarks.db database file.

So for example if you input "batman" and press save after you have browsed down to you batman folder it will send a request containing: name=batman, path=http://192.168.X.X:2202/comics/17821/folderCover (just an example) , and when you press the name of the bookmark again you can quickly navigate between your bookmarks.

Any theme maker and/or Tom may use the files/code if you like, it would be nice if you put my name and reference to this forum in the credits or something, ;)

Feel free to reply if you have any questions.
