KOReader: a document reader for PDF, DJVU, EPUB, FB2, HTML, ... (GPLv3) - Page 38

NiLuJe · 09-06-2014, 02:59 PM

@ssholloway: Probably hadn't finished downloading. The default mirror is slow for most of us (China), we're discussing ways of improving that.

FYI, when the download finishes, you get a popup asking you to restart KOReader to apply the update.
The KUAL updates buttons are unrelated (they handle the 'classic' zip packages from GitHub, not the OTA tarballs).

@NiLuJe:Thanks. I was using the server at http://koreader.ak-team.com but I understand your comment about the download not finishing.

As an alternative, where do I store the GitHub zip packages in order to use the update option in KUAL?

NiLuJe · 09-06-2014, 11:40 PM

@ssholloway: Whoops, that one's mine, it's in Europe, but it should be fairly decent when accessed from North America, too. Might have been incomplete on the mirror's end then. That, or gremlins ;p.

As for KUAL & the zip, root of the USB drive

There are no new nightlies on https://github.com/koreader/koreader/releases since koreader-nightly-20140829. Has the download site moved somewhere else?

@mmjoshi: Nope, possibly chrox is holding off on tagging a nightly until things settle down a bit?

ssholloway · 09-07-2014, 04:31 PM

@mmjoshi: The 0829 nightly is 675 but I d/l'd 688 yesterday from NiLuJe's site, http://koreader.ak-team.com. I wanted a newer nightly for the OPDS support but haven't really done much with KOReader other than that so YMMV. OPDS works great BTW.

chrox · 09-07-2014, 09:24 PM

Yes, there are still some work/fixes to be done before a release. For those with brave heart the OTA nightly build channel is a good place to try new features.

Probably we also need a checksum list of the files in OTA directory and make sure each file is intact when zsync is requesting delta data.

Thank you for this app!

Can I download .fb2 or .fb2.zip via opds?
Tried to get books from http://flibusta.net/opds but failed.

Is this a problem with KOReader or a more general problem?

From the little bit I read, it seems to be a more general problem.
Ref: https://translate.google.com/transla...481&edit-text=

(If you read Russian, you might want to dig deeper into that thread than I could via Google Translate.)

If this problem is not specific to KOReader, please start a new thread since solving it may turn out to be a rather long series of posts.

(We do have Russian members here, they may already have the answers for you.)

Flibusta stores books in .fb2.zip.
It seems that KOReader tries to get .mobi or .epub, but flibusta opds gives .fb2.zip only.

The same problem with coollib.net/opds - the server gives books in .fb2.zip only, KOReader cannot download.

It should be easy to add fb2 file type here https://github.com/koreader/koreader...rowser.lua#L47

Dexmaster · 09-18-2014, 01:06 PM

Yeah something like:
Filetype: .fb2 Mime Type: application/x-fictionbook+xml
aliases: application/x-fictionbook, application/fb2, application/x-fictionbook-xml
subclass of: application/xml

Filetype: .fb2.zip Mime Type: application/x-zip-compressed-fb2
aliases: application/fb2.zip,
subclass of: application/x-zip-compressed (application/zip)

Hey folks, i installed koreader in my paperwhite 2 (with KUAL) and i cant figure out how it works, also i cant access any user guide.
My problem is that i get to filemanager and it displays the list of books, but when i tap any book it simply opens a sort of empty folder, be glad if you could help. Peace!
