What does the following mean?

within a 2 minute window - the warning shows up 12 times -

the file either is or is not a zip file isn't it?

if the file is unreadable (which it seems to be... ) - shouldn't the error reflect that?

if the ISNOT a zip file - any indication as to what filetype it should be?

if it is a zip file then a scrambled multi-part zip.... zip vs. gzip vs. other flavors... (DOS/Mac/Linux/etc....)

more info please?!?!

Hi all

I have been using Ubooquity for a while (on my QNAP NAS), but I am going travelling soon and the NAS will be turned off for this period. So I want to set it up using a cheap DigitalOcean droplet. My files are stored on Amazon Cloud Drive (they are already backed up there, so why not use them...).

So I have created the droplet running Ubuntu 14.04, installed Ubooquity successfully to /opt/ubooquity. And installed acd_cli and mounted my amazon drive.

Everything looks like it is working properly, however I just cant connect from my home computers. I presume its an issue with connecting to a remote machine (port forward / firewall). Ubooquity is definitely up and running, i have allowed connections in my firewall. I believe that all ports are open by default on a DO droplet.

ps aux | grep uboo gives

root 4374 41.2 13.0 2058784 65384 ? Sl 04:44 0:02 /usr/bin/java -jar /opt/ubooquity/Ubooquity.jar -webadmin -headless -port 2022

sudo netstat -plunt gives

...
.tcp6 0 0 :::2022 :::* LISTEN 4374/java

What am I missing here?

If I curl http://dropletip:2022/admin in putty I can see that the correct page to create a password is coming up, but I can't access it via a webpage.

As many people sort their comics by publisher, i've started a collection of images for the Publisher folders: https://www.dropbox.com/s/8d2s8he1pze9f3d/Comic%20Publisher%20Folders.zip?dl=0

If anyone else is working on something similar it would be great to combine our efforts.

Hey there guys!

I have installed Ubooquity and launched the script in a screen and when I go to the page where its supposed to be i get a message saying I am not authorizied to access it. But I can access the admin page but I have no clue how to add storage/users. I run it in a FreeBSD jail on FreeNAS.

Thanks in advance

Is it possible to view additional metadata from comics? I add some extra notes that I would like to view when selecting a comic from my library.

i think as the cloud gets more and more used nowadays people would want to host their files on there for long time storage.

thought is that Ubooquity could use the api of the cloud service to request file downloads, metadata and thumbnails.
could technically also upload and replace the files in storage if metadata changes are made by Ubooquity.

i find that i use my local storage less and less but there is a limit in how well NetDrive works for systems as a program like that is quite limited in how much it can load at a time.

a program using the api to just load what it needs in the other hand can be more useful with time.


Top Cloud Picks that should be supported with something like this:
Amazon Cloud (best value for the money still)
Google Drive
Dropbox
Mega.nz
OneDrive (Microsoft)

im sure there is many others. but those are the ones that is worth it in the long run.

with support for this we could host or comics, manga or books on the cloud without issues.

ofc the only issue would be larger files and so on. might have to have a way to issue a download of the file to the local cache. unless you can make it open the archives without the need for a download.

I'm not a comics reader, but I do want to use Ubooquity to read a set of PDFed magazines I have lying around. It'd be great to have a separate space to organize these, and the Comics section works pretty well for this. It'd be awesome to go all the way with it and change the name that appears in the web interface for this mode.

What i mean by this feature is having for example a little red dot for not read it yet and a green little dot for already read it at the side of each comic, book etc. Or something similar. Hope you get my point. This maybe all could be saved in a sort of *.txt or *.conf file where you see the books/comics/raw files who have been read could be named in that text file. This is very handy for if you might migrate/upgrade or something, you just take that text file with you and future library can scan that text file and does remember what you already have read.

Why this feature request, i have already read a few books/comics in my library, but i don't really want to delete them from the library. Why? Because it is a library, you do not throw out knowledge :P. [/hoard mentality]

Thanks for sorting the Raw Files lists! Now that they're sorted my users are getting more use out of them. However, there's no file size listed, so the user doesn't have any clue what they're getting into when they try to download files. I've got some as big as 39 gigbytes down to as small as a few kilobytes. In the next release could you add file size to the raw files lists?

Hello,

Is there an easy way to implement the use of custom fonts in the ePub Reader? I tried putting woff files into the fonts folder and creating a CSS file (using the defaults as a template) - while the new font shows up in the preferences menu, the font is still default. I've also tried using this CSS file to refer to Google Fonts with no success. Anybody had luck with this?
