Hello Alexander,
first look into your log shows me some exclamation mark /screamer in your directory path / filename -
thats a problem for uboquity / java.
Remove it please from a directory and scan your content again - if the problem resists, there is some other bug,
but my experience tells me that's the point of failture here ...
Hope that helps
Best regards from Munich (where currently the morning sun begins to shine)

Hello Daniel,
first let me congratulate to your new TVS-871 - yay, its a very fine piece of HW ..
and now lets go on @ your problem : there may be some relevant checkboxes :

Did you test it enabled/ disabled? Maybe here's the problem found ... ?
Sometimes the installation of Stefans qpkg goes deeply wrong, i check always after doing an uninstall via Bitvise SSH the complete uninstall (here the default path for the QNAP-Ubooquity-folder : /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/.qpkg/UbooQuity
Move temporaly all files below the Ubooquity-Folder into /tmp , reinstall Ubooquity via qpkq and check again...
Best regard !

Hi again Daniel,
Im shure your folder structure isnt your problem - did you update via QPKG or just replace the Ubooquity.jar ?
i've updated Ubooquity since the first releace of 2.x and had some issues with the remaining old 1.x program files ...
If you just update the jar-file, the database format has changed and cannot be used by 2.x .
If you update via QPKG, uninstall it and install it "fresh" again - but after both methods, you have still to fresh setup your library directorys - with absolute paths (again) -> take a deeper look again at :
hope that helps !

PS: how stable is your current firmware on your TS-453b-mini ? I have a TS-453mini (1st Edition) an lot's of trouble ( like many other) with the firmwares newer than April 2018, so my current Firmware release is 4.3.4.0486 which runs almost stable...
Hi mccorkled,
on your screenshot is the stop-symbol from Adblock - did you create a exlude rule for your ubooquity server ?
Hope that helps
Best regards !

Hi souvik,
When you read something, the Ubooquity server-engine preloads always only 2 Pages ahead and convert it into a graphic.
If the Page contains only text, the conversion is very fast - if the Page contains pictures too, the conversion take some time.. and the PDF-structure is as well a time-using factor : complicated structures need some time to convert...
Maybe the initialization library scan could take some time, but after that, it will run as fast as possible - with your configuration it should be fast - depending on the content stuff (only-text or much text and graphics) ...
Beste regards !

Hi luskin,
my opinion : the lit-format is rotten by Microsoft since 2012 (almost 6 years) and most time protected with a closed-source DRM.
Currently the actual (and future) version of Ubooquity couldn't support lit-files.
The one and only way to read and manage it with Ubooquity is to convert your lit-files with calibre to epub or PDF.
If this way doesn't work, here is in my view no other way to use it with Ubooquity....
Sorry for no good news ...
Best regards

Hi Richard,
i had no problems, but i think knowing your problem, so here's my questions to help you :
- do you install the 32bit or the 64bit version of JAVA ?
-> Running Ubooquity 2.x on a 32bit JAVA isn't recommended, you should uninstall the 32bit and install the 64bit version.
- the process user has "display-only" NFS Access rights and cannot real open/read the NFS-Share files
-> check if the NFS security option AUTH_SYS is given and the UID and GID matches on both systems.
Otherwise the NFS guest rights will your Ubooquity instance give only the lower "display content" rights.
Eventually the NFS Squash gives your local root user on the Share only quest rights.
If the NFS security option Kerberos (krb5, krb5i, krb5p) is set, this can give you (on an authentication failure
without a error message) on your NFS share only guest/display-only rights, too ...
NFS Access rights synchronization is often tricky, i always recommend using SAMBA Shares to use with Ubooquity.
Hope that helps
Best regards !

Hi korrupto,
use http://192.168.0.157:2203/admin
(url :2202 is for comic viewing, url :2203/admin is the admin interface)
and be sure NOT to use the share directory direct (/share/comic) - use always the direct system path (/share/CACHEDEVX_DATA/comic or /share/MDX_DATA/comic, depending what you found on your NAS),
that makes your user experience with ubooquity on a QNAP much easier and better :-)
hope that helps
best regards

(just awaken in a very windy, cloudy and rainy Munich city, brrr)
@ QNAP : your welcome !
@Tom: Thanks again for posting the links !
Within the help inside the first link provided this case can be closed, nothing more to do - just keep comic reading again ...
Best regards

Hi Graham,
it's just your second post, and it look like that you doesnt read the basic v2.x manual :
- first of all, the database from v1.x isnt 1:1 compatible with v2.x, so you have to rescan your library.
- before that, you must install a x64 version of Java - you just described a problem that occurs only with x86 Java.
And now, here is my recommendation to help you :
- if you want to use your old settings, you can do this job ONLY by manually edit the config.file ( just a bad idea!) ->
but it's very easy to start over with fresh re-set your config in the admin page
(http://yourip:2203, you remember from the manual describe the new startup call -> please say honestly just "no" ?)
- and here ist the next problem : how did you start the 2.x version? the old startup call doesnt work ...
give v2.x a chance by starting without any old file "crap" in your installation directory (and please -> RT(F)M) ...
that doesnt mean to clean your content, only remove/move out the old 1.x program files or install v2.x in an different folder than v1.x ...
Tom has doing a very good job on 1.x and does an even better job on 2.x - it runs here for me and my guys/ladies with now nearly 100.000 PDF-files and in the meantime with 38 simultaneously active (but each different to other) user account without any bugs or problems -> on a QNAP TS453mini with only 4GB Ram allocated.
Before that, I used v1.x here and i tried it like you to "just migrate/update to v2.x", but honestly : that's no so easy going,..
After trying it (and stay nearly howling with anger) for some days, i decide to start absolutely fresh with an different blank installation directory and only the new uboquity.jar - and voila, just after 30 mins (except the waiting time for uboquity scanning the content, that takes 1 day) it runs nearly perfect til today ...
hope that helps you out !
best regards from munich - only 4 days and the rest of today left to Oktoberfest/ Wiesn 2018 <|8-'}
