Hi Tom ! 


After a long trip searching on the Internet, finally i found this project.Thanks for this amazing free project, it's so unique anywhere.  But seems the latest update is traced back to 2018. Another sad fact is kuboo--the Android app for ubooquity also stops updating.....

I love this project so much and have given a suggestion , however , having no reply....

Just curious if this project still under working? Any improvement coming? Thanks again!

Yes, the project is still being actively developped, although there have been periods of time in 2019 during which I didn't touch the code much.

Guess I should post a news explaining what is in progress and why it takes so long...

As for your other message, I don't/can't reply to every message. Sometimes I miss some of them, and more often than not I lack the time to answer them. So I focus on the ones that are new and for which I can provide an interesting answer (the "zip" file question has already been discussed a long time ago)

Hi

Just a curious who have lots of comics and used the plex plugin. The plugin is discontinued and i start use Ubooquity.

On my local network is all ok, but can not see remote. I did portforward, firewll, etc etc.

I want use 3rd party kuboo. 

When have WIFI i can see on my phone, when have only sim card Server not found...

cause:

java.net.socketTimeoutException(failed to connect to ) 192.68.1.72 (port 2202) from 10.78.....

call GildeException#rootcauses(string) for more detail

Any clue, please

Much appreciate thank you

I would first test the Ubooquity port (default is 2202) using something like www.canyouseeme.com to confirm that the port is indeed open to the internet.  Some ISPs block certain ports, so you may need to set Ubooquity to use a different port.

Once that's confirmed then I would test the site externally (ask a friend or use your mobile phone with the WIFI off).  If you can then see the site make sure that you're configuring Kuboo exactly the way it says to in the instructions.

it have happens to me exactly the same, you have to give permissions to java.exe on the firewall of the server or pc where runs the jar!!

i hope it might be helpful to you

2 years later and still no updates.. I get that Tom is the only person working on this (by his own choice), but if there haven't been any public facing updates in 4 years, this project does seem well and truly dead.

Tom, please release something or opensource this bad boy.

Why?  Is there a bug that needs fixing?  Ubooquity is solid and intact as it is, there's really not much that needs to be done here.  There are numerous themes (like Comixology) that add lots of features.  There's even a solid Android client app.  And the best part is... you're getting it all for free!  TANSTAAFL!

What I'm really saying is that after 4 years of no updates, or even a "This is what I'm working on" post, the project looks dead. That's not to say it's broke, but it's certainly not an "active" project.

If you look at the all the feature requests, it's obvious that there's room for improvement. I for one would the love the ability to reset or turn off the function that saves your reading position within a comic. I rarely close a comic without finishing it. I'm left with hundreds of comics that open to the last page. This is especially annoying and confusing for friends I share my library with. 

I really like Ubooquity, and I use it very often.

But we cannot deny that this is more than a simple "stand by project".

I won't say this is a "dead" one but clearly a definitively "closed" one. 

There is a lot of improvments that could be added.
