I would love to be able to create my own library from the admin page and then allocate a directory to it.

Such as Kids Books /mnt/shared/kids/ebooks

It would be a real bonus to have one additional "Fit To" option for the reader/viewer. There is Fit to Width and Fit to Height but comics with mixed landscape and portrait images are hard to view when set to one or the other. An added option that would fit to whichever dimension is largest would be a boon.

(And once again, thanks for such a great piece of software!)

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,
