Add ZIP to comic formats to be scanned

8 years ago • updated by 8 years ago • 4

I have a huge collection of comics that are in .zip files rather than .cbr or .cbz. It would be great if Ubooquity would scan and show zip files as well as the other formats. Even if it were an advanced option that had to be turned on, that would be awesome.

Thanks for your consideration!

Hello,

the restriction to CBZ and CBR files is by design: the extension of the file carries a meaning which tells what kind of data we can expect to find inside. CBZ/CBR files are supposed to contain images and sometimes metadata files, so Ubooquity knows what to do with them. Zip and rar files can contain anything, so it's better for Ubooquity to ignore them as more often than not they will not be comics.

Not a bug

the server should ignore empty folders

9 years ago • updated by 8 years ago • 4

the server should ignore the folder if its empty (say if you delete a cbz file in ComicRack for example and that is placed inside a sorted folder. the folder will stay for the series even tho there is no files there.

rescanning the library should detect it, it should not care if there is empty folders in the library and def not display them either (just an issue if a series is either deleted entirely or moved to another folder)

if there is remaining folders from entries that is now deleted it should be ignored, simple as that IMO.

For some who might be having problems serving over the internet

I own a Motorola SBG 6580 combo cable modem/router and was having difficulty serving comics through a WAN. I found this discussion here about some port forwarding tips and it worked perfectly! You basically want to set its external/WAN ip address to 0.0.0.0, and everything else as suggested:

Add the option to view CBR/CBZ files under E-Books

8 years ago • updated by 8 years ago • 3

I have many e-books that are in cbr or cbz format. It would be nice to be able to view them with the comic reader under the E-Book section.

Seagate Central

9 years ago • updated by 9 years ago • 3

Hello,

Is it possible to run ubooquity from my seagate central 2TB NAS hard drive? If so, how difficult is it? I'm not very good at linux/java commands. I have all my comics and ebooks stored on the NAS but I don't want to have my laptop running to keep the server active.

Thanks for your help.

Feature Request - single config directory for files, logs, etc

9 years ago • updated by 9 years ago • 6

Files from the .jar are extracted into the same folder as the .jar file. How about a switch like --configdir that allows those files to be extracted to a folder that can be set via command line option. That way all the files can be contained but moved to another location while leaving the jar file in its current directory.
