I totally missed this question, so I apologize. https://github.com/mylar3/mylar3 is the link to Mylar itself. It runs using Python. The easiest method of running it would be using Docker, if you have that setup. If not, if you've got Discord we can help you get it setup.

Mylar scrapes from CV because they've got an API available to pull that information in. Yes, Comixology is better about giving a lot more data, but they're also a for-profit enterprise who are not going to want to freely give easy access to that data out, whereas ComicVine is a wiki...of sorts.

I download the weekly packs, then manually post-process all of the comics to pick up what I've got in my Wanted list. barbequesauce is looking into adding DC++ support to Mylar, but it's slow going but if he's able it pull it off, it would be similar to torrents/newsgroups.

He's holding off on adding the feature right now as we're waiting for Bobby Hill to hop in so we can clarify what exactly he's looking for. The channel's had the registration requirement removed as well, so it should be a lot easier to connect and join up now.

I use AirDCPP, DDL and usenet for my sources. DDL is an amazing feature that evilhero added.

OK, I don't know which channel you're in that you see Red_M_, but you need to register your nickname (Freenode tells you how when you login) so you can join #mylar. Once you register your nickname, we can figure out what it is you're trying to do.

hrm, are you sure you're on irc.freenode.net and that you've registered your nick to join #mylar? evilhero and I are chatting away right now about the JSON stuff, actually right now.

What about using https://webchat.freenode.net/ and joining #mylar? That should work.

So coming back to this thread after a couple of years being away, what's the latest link to the actual theme that people are using? I know Mike Waters and Bobby Hill have gotten fixes, but I'm not seeing a current package of everything so that I can nuke my current theme and put the new one in its place. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Latest from evilhero: PR coming in a few hrs - covers both cover/folder.jpg as well as writing out series.json to the series dir.

So there you have it, Mylar will be doing both.

So evilhero just pointed out that the folder.jpg is already being written out when you enable the option, and it (usually) gets updated each time there's a new comic if you tell it to do that. Here's the screenshot from the Advanced Settings tab in question:

As for the series.json, we're talking about it now so it won't be quick, but we are discussing how it might be able to be done.

EDIT: That only spits it out as cover.jpg, not as folder.jpg. I'm talking to him about either adding an option to name it folder.jpg, or possibly do both. If you want to join in, we're on IRC on the Freenode network in #mylar.
