Hi, when I try to launch Ubooquity.jar (I've updated JVM today, it runs Java 8 update 321), it starts and stops immediately (Nothing can be seen by the human eye).  Here is the log it produces:

So it seems like this project is dead, and since it is closed source there’s not much we can do. There’s been no update since 2018. 

All I want is something that will respect my folder structure, have genre filtering, opds (and maybe one day kindle sendjng and file conversions 

Hi,

i am trying to modify theme (Material 1.7.0) to show reading progress for books (epub mostly), using the themeScript.js from https://gist.github.com/j4c3/fa5b983cd36afce56e35c1dd52059334 (original discussion: https://ubooquity.userecho.com/en/communities/1/topics/845-adding-currently-reading-label-to-comics)- but cannot get it to work. It works on comics, but not on books.

I understand that there is different calls to read status (data) for books and comics, but don't know how to modify script for that.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

It looks like the clear books database... button in the book section clear the comics database.

"Books data stored by Ubooquity will be cleared (without affecting your files).
A full rescan of your comics will be done.
Do you want to continue ?"

Tried it, and it did not clear the book database at all.

Thank you.

Does anyone know if ubooquity uses this library? Obviously nervous…

I have loaded Ubooquity with a bunch of files. Some are dubplicates win different file formats. I enjoy reading PDF on my computer/browser, but EPUB on my mobile device. I would appreciate the ability to group files if their base name is the same.

If this is already a feature, it's either not working, or I don't know how to enable it.

I noticed that leading zeros are counted and will mess up large collection order.

For example, Detective Comics is well over 1000 issues, but if you have something like Detective Comics 935.cbr as well as Detective Comics 1000.cbr, it will sort all the 1xxx before any xxx.cbr files. This is kind of annoying and will force me to rename some comics. 

Not a huge deal, but would be nice if leading zeros were not necessary.

Hello!

I have been using this guide to try and set up my ubooquity server. https://www.htpcguides.com/install-ubooquity-on-raspberry-pi-for-personal-ebook-server/

changing

export UBOOQUITY_HOME=/opt/ubooquity 
DAEMON_NAME="Ubooquity"
DAEMON_USER=root
DAEMON_PATH="/usr/bin/java"
DAEMON_OPTS="-jar /opt/ubooquity/Ubooquity.jar -webadmin -headless -port 2022"
DAEMON_PWD="/opt/ubooquity"
DAEMON_DESC=$(get_lsb_header_val $0 "Short-Description")
DAEMON_PID="/var/run/${DAEMON_NAME}.pid"
DAEMON_NICE=0
DAEMON_LOG='/var/log/cherrymusic'

to

export UBOOQUITY_HOME=/opt/ubooquity 
DAEMON_NAME="Ubooquity"
DAEMON_USER=root
DAEMON_PATH="/usr/bin/java"
DAEMON_OPTS="-jar /opt/ubooquity/Ubooquity.jar --admintport 2022 --remoteadmin --headless --libraryport 3456"
DAEMON_PWD="/opt/ubooquity"
DAEMON_DESC=$(get_lsb_header_val $0 "Short-Description")
DAEMON_PID="/var/run/${DAEMON_NAME}.pid"
DAEMON_NICE=0
DAEMON_LOG='/var/log/cherrymusic

I can get ubooquity to start while using Putty using

sudo java -jar /opt/ubooquity/Ubooquity.jar --adminport 2022 --remoteadmin --headless --libraryport 3456

But if I close Putty, it stops the server.

I'm pretty new to this.

Thanks!

Can't figure this out. I just found Ubooquity today and was loving it. This is awesome. I can stream my comics from anywhere now and not have to use micr sd cards anymore, I thought.

It scanned hundreds of issues pretty quickly, but now it seems to scan one file, then just sits there. It was stuck for a couple of hours on one file, then I rebooted and it scanned the next file in the location and then stalled again. But there is nothing at all helpful in the logs:

It's been sitting on Detective Comics 515 for over ten minutes now.

Any help would be great appreciated. I was so excited to use something like this, but now it just stuck for some reason...

Thank you.
