One-Click Install Packages for KOReader & Plato

[greatforum]

@NiLuJe Thanks for bundling it with NM! I was just wondering if I should install NM. After the recent FM upgrade a couple of days ago, I just did the usual one-click install for koreader and voilà!

I do have a question though, is there a way to make the "start plato" menu disappear? I checked my .adds\nm folder, there are three files: the doc file (which I assume doesn't do anything?), the kfmon file:

Spoiler:

# Automatically populate NickelMenu with active KFMon watches
generator : main : kfmon

and the koreader file:

Spoiler:

# Launch KOReader via KFMon
# NOTE: .adds/nm/kfmon will generate this automatically
#menu_item : main : KOReader : kfmon     : koreader.png

# Launch KOReader directly via NM (>= KOReader 2020.05)
#menu_item : main : KOReader : cmd_spawn : quiet : exec /mnt/onboard/.adds/koreader/koreader.sh

It doesn't seem that there should be a plato menu in NM, but there is. Did I miss something?

@greatforum: Everything gets populated automagically by the KFMon generator .

If you want to prevent some of the KFMon entries from showing up, you just need to update the matching KFMon config, and set the hidden flag to 1 (e.g., that one, which should be in .adds/kfmon/config/plato.ini on your device.

Hello,

Can I do the one click install script with my Kobo Clara HD or do I need to check if I got a certain version of the firmware?

thanks in advance

[NiLuJe]

@lalf: The Clara is new enough that even a factory FW should be recent enough for everything to mostly behave okay.

I'd still highly recommend running up to date software, though. But nothing will horribly implode .

Thank you for your answer, I got both Plato and KOReader working perfectly thanks to the oneclick script that you made. Thank you for your work

[curry_sinatra]

thank you very much for putting this together!! *bows down*

Plato is superior to KOreader and Kobo native reader

Thank you for the easiest way to install KoReader & Plato.

I tried both and love KoReader than Plato. but the biggest problem of KoReader is I can't connect to PC without Kobo Start Menu. How can I connect without restart to the Niken?

You can also enable/disable USB from within KSM, but indeed you'll have to use either KSM or Nickel itself for USB.

I usually transfer things with SFTP, see https://github.com/koreader/koreader/wiki/SSH for a (hopefully sufficiently clear) guide.

I don't have KSM because I install Koreader by this thread. Can I install KSM with all of this (KoReader, Plato & KFMon) ????

[NiLuJe]

@vinhphucng25: Nope.

As @Frenzie said, just exit to Nickel, it'll take something like 10s. Or transfer stuff wirelessly.

The PowerShell script worked flawlessly, thanks a lot!

@NiLuJe, first thank you for the work and ingenuity you've put into this labour of love! It is deeply appreciated.

With the latest Kobo firmware update 4.23.15505 (8/10/20), the top left menu is gone. It's replaced by a "More" menu in the bottom right.

Unfortunately, KoReader and such do not populate into the new "More" menu.

If you're already aware of the issue, my apologies for the duplicate... if not, well, I figured you'd want to know. If I manage to get it going I'll let you know what I did.

NiLuJe's currently busy, so the OCP packages haven't yet been updated to NickelMenu v0.3.2, which fixes this issue. You can go to the NickelMenu thread and manually install v0.3.2 over the OCP packages to put the menu items back.

Thank you! I didn't mean to rush anyone and am grateful that this exists at all. I LOVE the ODPS server access. I'll bop on over to that thread and have at it. Thanks again for the pointer in the right direction!
