I've been struggling to run Ubooquity with the latest Java update.

Usually, there's no trouble, I just redirect my shortcut to the new javaw.exe when the version gets updated however this time when I do that nothing happens and the log shows:

It looks like I can run the V3.02 beta but I'd vastly prefer to continue using V2

I have been informed today of a severe vulnerability in the last available version of Ubooquity 2 (version 2.1.2).

A fixed version is available on the usual download page, version 2.1.4.

Please update as soon as possible.

Ubooquity 3 is not impacted by this vulnerability and can be used safely.

Already sharing, for example, "/media/Comic Books/" but when I try to share the folder "/media/Comic Books - Golden Age/" it says "ERROR: Folder already shared or containing an already shared folder."  It appears to happen whenever two folder names contain the same beginning.

Only feature I think would be really helpful is being able to filter what users can view based on the rating given in the metadata and/or only allowing specified user groups to see a shared folder.

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

Message from Tom:

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 ?
