With Plex I'm always a bit skeptical.Īnother feat: even if I have to rebuild the entire library with a new database, the previous scrapes' metadata will be transferred.īONUS: another key metadata source is for all the doujinshi collectors out there. I usually like to manually verify the metadata, knowing that the information that is shown will not be altered unless I explicitly force override would be nice. That way should a source ever return false information your earlier scrapes are always safe. This is one of my biggest gripes with Plex. Why? Because it would be really important to be able to move that meta data out of Komga easily.

What I mean is: ComicInfo.xml should always override the online source and maybe the finding of the scanned source should be written into ComicInfo.xml (if there is none) into the folder/zip/etc. I prefer having metadata embedded in the files.Įxcellent, most importantly, I would really like to have some staging going on. Personally, I would really like to see ComicInfo.xml support. So if I could use komga on desktop AND mobile (with the tachiyomi plugin), for comics AND manga, that would be nice. The client would be in charge of the reading part only.Ĭonsidering tracking (like trakt for videos or anilist and kitsu for manga/anime), I'm not sure if it is the responsibility of komga or of the client.Īctually I use yacreader to manage comics library and reading -> but no information about books or series, no metadata, no trackingĪnd on mobile I use tachiyomi for manga (which also serves my tracking purpose) but a desktop client is missing (I'm currently having a look at, and I think komga could be implemented as a plugin for it, I'm currently having a look). Ideally komga should provide everything a client would need to satisfy at least basic needs.

If I had any idea how making a plugin woks and coding plugins, I'd have made a plugin already (probably leveraging HPX, my other database I'm running alongside this)įor me, if we follow the plex analogy, given a filename/folder hierarchy komga should be able to retrieve automatically series informations and book informations in series.Īuthors, tile, description/summary, list of all books, completeness status (also like pull lists for comics), and a picture (cover/thumbnail) that a client can displayĪuthors, title, description/summary, number in series and a picture (cover/thumbnail) that a client can display Not in any hurry, I am using a separate database/reader for tagged manga, and reading in Just throwing out some ideas, no pressure. json (both provided by Hdoujin Down-loader) I am only suggesting this one because 'I' Use it alongside a pickier. That would let the user leverage any data-scraping (or elbow-grease copy-pasting) to write metadata not covered by direct functionality (and hopefully mildly future-proofing the feature).Īnother example of a pre-set metadata format would be ComicRack's comicinfo.xml file within. What about local metadata? As long as it is read from an editable file (not a database?) at some point, you don't have to worry too bad about sources.Īs long as you give us a template and location to write the data. This is some Pie-in-The sky stuff, brace yourself. Then 'maually override' is the same as 'editing' metadata, Same result. Oh, Just read the last Checkbox, You can disregaurd the rest of this then.
